Tap Electric is now offering residents of the provinces of Groningen and Drenthe the Tap charge card and app for an incredibly low €1,25/month.

The offer is part of the recent public charging tender in these provinces. This tender will see an additional 2100 public chargers rolled out in the coming years ⚡

One of our favourite things to see in the app is drivers leaving helpful feedback for other drivers in location comments 💙

We're experiencing a bit of wet weather in the Netherlands this month and appreciate any tips on keeping our socks dry 🧦

Our charger network is growing, we've got a big network of public chargers across the Netherlands, Belgium, UK and Ireland.

Even better, you can start charging now - no sign up needed 🤳🏼

We're on the streets 🧑🏼‍🔧

Our team is getting to know the ins and outs of what it's like to drive an EV, use public chargers and taking (very) detailed notes on how to make our product even easier for every EV driver to use.

We're always open to hearing what you've got to say, so let us know what you'd like to see next in the Tap app 👇🏼

We're real sticklers for price transparency 🧐

If you know exactly what you're paying every time you charge - you'd spot whether you're getting a fair price in your neighbourhood or if an extra tariff like an parking fee has been applied to your charge session.

We share 3 ways you can save on your EV charging right now 👉🏼

It costs an average 40.4 eurocents per kWh to charge an electric car in the Netherlands using an AC charger - but you could be paying more depending on which charger you use 💸 Read more.

Tap Electric explains: AC and DC chargers
