Payment methods

Pre-authorisation. A temporary £25 pre-authorisation is placed on the payment card.
Caveat. Tariffs can vary by location. The page says to check the app or the charge point before charging.

Roaming versus paying the operator
No public roaming p/kWh for this network was found on the operator page or on the roaming apps’ public pages checked.
- Zap-Pay: not published — Zapmap’s public help page (modified 23 March 2026) says the price shown when you pay with Zapmap is, wherever possible, the same or similar to the operator’s standard PAYG rate, but that some networks apply higher prices via third-party services such as Zapmap. The public Zap-Pay page does not list a per-network p/kWh table. In-app prices are not copied here.
- Octopus Electroverse: not published — Electroverse says the latest pricing for every network and charging point is displayed in the Electroverse app, and that rates might differ when charging with operators directly. No public per-network p/kWh table was published.
- OVO Charge: not published — OVO says PAYG rates are set by the charging networks and are shown for each charger on Charge Anywhere. No public per-network p/kWh table was published. Light Boost is described as 10% off the PAYG rate set by the networks; that percentage is not turned into a p/kWh figure here.
- Paua: not published — Paua says network prices are live in the Paua app and web map, and that customers pay each network’s standard PAYG or “pump” price. Its help page says it aims for a cost equivalent to or less than the network PAYG price where possible, but that some networks charge a premium and drivers should check the app. No public per-network p/kWh table was published.
