Electrify America is changing the way customers pay for EV charging.
The American company is removing account balances in favor of simpler direct billing.
For occasional EA users, the change should make life easier on the road.
Electrify America, one of the largest EV charging networks in the United States, is changing the way customers pay for their electric vehicle charging sessions. In the next weeks, the operator will phase out the app-based account balances and auto-reload features in favor of direct billing for each session.
The change removes one extra step from the EV charging experience, which is always welcome, especially for customers who rarely stop by EA stations. Until now, Electrify America customers had to preload funds into an account, and the smartphone app would then automatically refill the account with a preset amount of money when the balance ran low.
