Motability Go Charge

Our new way to help you charge on the go.

What is Motability Go Charge?

Called ‘Go Charge’ for short our new card and app gives you access to over 50,000 public chargepoints from over 20 different chargepoint operators. That’s over half of all chargepoints in the UK.

We do not offer discounted charging at the moment, but you’ll never pay more than the operator’s ‘pay as you go’ tariff.

You’ll get this as part of your worry-free package when you get a new electric car on the Scheme.

What can I do in the app?
  • Check which chargepoints are available, in real time
  • Use maps to find chargepoints
  • Filter chargepoints, based on connecter type and speed
  • Navigate to your chargepoint with Waze, Google or Apple maps
  • Track how you charge, over time, including costs and more
  • Control your charging sessions remotely
  • Live support for any chargepoint or payment problems
Where can I use the Go Charge card?

You can use Go Charge with over 20 different chargepoint providers. These include: GRIDSERVE, Source London, ChargePlace Scotland, ESB, Geniepoint, Shell Recharge, Osprey and many more.
