RADIUS-EV 4+

De app is heel traag. Daarnaast is de status van de laadpalen ( bezet of niet) niet actueel. Ook kon ik mijn account met mijn rev fleetpass niet aanmaken. Of de getoonde prijzen kloppen weet ik niet, we zullen wel zien. Intussen wel een snelle en accurate app van een concurrent gevonden waar de status van de laadpalen wél klopt met de werkelijkheid.

L’application est totalement inutile.
Elle peut proposer des bornes mais pour une raison que j’ignore, c’est aléatoire.
Malgré des bornes disponibles, elles n’apparaissent pas dans l’appli ???
Je teste des bornes dans l’espoir qu’elles fassent partie du partenariat.
La planification d’un trajet est donc impossible.

After being subjected to this app I’ve some critical points to share about this app:

- As many other people have mentioned, it is slow… opening the map, loading in the surrounding charge points, trying to access the overview and finally checking the price of said charge points. I hope you have some spare time since it all takes so long to load anything and that’s if it actually wants to cooperate and show you any data, which in my experience only has about a 40% success rate. This unresponsiveness makes trying to look for the most affordable charger around a pain and easily takes 10 minutes or more for something that should be a quick breeze.

- Are you going to a public place, a park, store or museum and want to check ahead of time if there is the possibility to charge? Well you better know the exact location from the top of your head since simply searching for the name of the park/landmark won’t work, at all! So you’re expected to open any other app with a map in it, look up the place you want to go, copy the exact address, come back and paste it. All of this while it literally displays Google Maps in the app.

- Would you like to filter the chargers by maximum price, operators, opening hours (many charge points are behind closed off gates outside of business hours) and nearby amenities (helpful for pitstops) such as toilets, stores, restaurants? Well, not possible in this app.

Some of these things might sound unimportant but driving an electric car takes more planning than just driving to a gas pump and filling up. And when you’re locked into an app that barely functions I can’t help but be frustrated. Especially since I’ve been using other services like Chargemap that do all of the mentioned things and so much more, with a far greater interface and user experience.

All I hope to do with taking my time in writing this review is that the developers take this information and try to do something positive with it.
