Why is it worth adding VAS?

Electric Vehicles apps are no longer just about locating a charging station.They’ve become daily companions in the driver's journey and a powerful channel for engagement, upselling, and brand loyalty.

​By adding value-added services (VAS), you turn a functional tool into an ecosystem that supports users before, during, and after charging. These include local service bookings, loyalty programs, personalized offers, or even route planning assistants – all designed to enhance user experience and unlock new revenue opportunities.

By adding VAS to your charging app you will:

Make charging time feel valuable

by offering users convenient ways to eat, relax, or get things done during a session

Monetize partnerships & 
​earn more

via embedded commerce and local service bookings

Attract better location partners

restaurants, gyms, and retailers are more likely to host your stations when your app helps them sell to EV drivers

Increase session time

with services users want during charging

Build brand loyalty

with rewards, personalization, and real-life convenience

Drive repeat app usage

by giving users reasons to return

Our solution is  for:

EV charging operators

looking to extend their app’s value beyond charging

EV Charging Aggregators
and mobility platforms

Frequently Asked​​​​​​​ Questions

How long does it take to implement your platform into our existing EV Charging app?
Our platform is built with microservices and API-ready, so clients start rolling out selected features in as little as 8-12 weeks. Full deployments vary depending on customization and internal priorities.
We already use several third-party tools. Can your platform integrate with them?
Yes. We designed our architecture to be integration-friendly. We support REST APIs, whether payment gateways, CRM, fleet tools, or third-party navigation.
Do we need to replace our current app or backend?
Not at all. Our solution is built to extend and enrich your current product, not replace it. We integrate with what you already have and scale based on your roadmap.
Can we launch only a few features at first?
Absolutely. You can start with one or two modules, such as booking or loyalty, and expand later. You only launch what your users need when they need it.
How is your platform different from a white-label solution?
Unlike typical white-label software, our platform is fully brand-customizable, flexible in deployment (SaaS or on-premise), and built on our proprietary technology, not stitched together from third-party plugins.
How can we monetize the new services added to the app?
You can earn from direct partner deals (e.g., restaurants, car washes, event tickets), loyalty-based engagement, embedded commerce, or subscription bundles. We help you turn charging downtime into a monetization opportunity.
What kind of support do you offer during and after implementation?
You’ll work with a dedicated product and technical team. We provide integration assistance, custom documentation, and ongoing support to help you iterate, test, and scale confidently.
Can you help us build a business case or test the solution before a full rollout?
Yes. We often start with pilot programs or selected geographies to validate assumptions, user adoption, and business outcomes before a larger deployment.
We don’t have a large dev team. Can we still use your platform?
Yes. Our platform was designed to reduce the burden on your internal resources. With our APIs, pre-built components, and optional managed services, even lean teams can go live quickly.
