On-street electric vehicle (EV) charging specialist Connected Kerb is the latest network to go live on Zap-Pay.

Connected Kerb joins live Zap-Pay partners Osprey, ESB Energy, char.gy, GeniePoint, Mer, MFG EV Power, Fastned and Alfa Power.

The completed integration means that a total of almost 7,000 charging devices across the UK are now Zap-Pay enabled. As well as being able to search for charge points, plan longer journeys and share updates with other EV drivers, Zap-Map users can now pay quickly and easily for their EV charging on all nine networks up and down the UK.

More integrations and announcements around Zap-Pay are to follow over the coming weeks and months.

Connected Kerb, which aims to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility for everyone with affordable and accessible EV charging solutions, operates a network of around 2,000 chargers covering areas from Aberdeen to Plymouth.

Last year, Connected Kerb announced plans to install 190,000 public on-street EV chargers, worth up to £1.9bn, by 2030. The investment intends to revolutionise access to EV charging for millions of drivers without off-street parking and to support mass-market charging for workplaces and fleets.

Zap-Pay, a single-app payment system that uses a credit or debit card to pay for charging, was launched with a mission to include all the key charge point networks across the UK.

The payment solution avoids the hassle of using different payment methods across all the various networks, providing a simple way to pay for EV charging across networks from within the familiar Zap-Map app.

With Connected Kerb’s on-street charging network now live on Zap-Pay, the announcement marks another important step towards affordable and accessible charging for drivers unable to charge their EV at home.
