Explore the &Charge App
Here we explain how you can earn our bonus points called “kilometer” or “km”, make your charging experience more enjoyable, and leave valuable feedback for the community.
What is a “kilometer”?
One “kilometer” is our currency for your charging credit and your mobility. One “kilometer” has an equivalent value of 0.08€. You can collect the “kilometers” and redeem them for free charging power for your e-car or attractive rewards.
How can I help improve the charging experience for everyone?
Challenges: By solving the challenges in the &Charge app, you can pass on important feedback to the charging station operators. With the charging station photo challenge, you help the community to find hidden charging stations more easily. For completing a challenge, we reward you with “kilometers”. You can find challenges near you in the feed in the &Charge app or on the map.
It easy like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WzWXhYuunRY
Check-In: You can start the check-in in the &Charge app via the round button in the footer. While you are at the charging station, you have the opportunity to share your experiences at the charging location directly and to improve data at the charging location with just a few answers. You can leave valuable feedback and, for example, rate the functionality of the charging station. The special thing is that your feedback is not only shared with the &Charge community, but also with the &Charge partner charging station operators, so that they can react to problems, among other things.
ONLINE SHOPPING WITH &CHARGE
You can collect kilometers not only by solving the challenges, but also by shopping online via the &Charge app. Choose from over 1,000 online stores where you can buy everyday necessities.
How does online shopping with &Charge work?
For every purchase you make through the &Charge app, we receive a commission from the partner store where you made the purchase. We then pass on the majority of this commission to you in the form of kilometers.
After your purchase, the expected kilometers are displayed in your activities. As soon as the partner store has confirmed your purchase and any return or cancellation periods have expired, the kilometers are automatically credited to your &Charge account.
By the way, you can reduce the waiting time by continuously increasing the limit for manual confirmation of purchases with our achievement “Shopaholic”.
What do I have to pay attention to?
WHAT CAN I REDEEM “KILOMETERS” FOR?
You can redeem your km for free public charging for your EV at the e-Mobility providers Maingau Autostrom, Charge myHyundai, Octopus, Elli, Kia Charge or Plugsurfing and safe money! We are constantly working to expand the range of e-Mobility providers for you.
You also have the option of redeeming your “km” for exclusive rewards or vouchers, such as Amazon. The redeem process can simply be done via the &Charge app.
