WHY CHARGE?

Earn credit by charging SHARE NOW electric cars

Give it some spark! When you charge a car that’s running low on juice – you earn driving credit. Each time you fully charge a car that has less than 35% battery level, you'll earn 5,00 € of credit. This can be used to pay for your trips and trip-related costs. Just make sure you end your trip after you charge the car!

PLUG-IN GUIDE

How to charge an electric car in Germany

Charging an electric car is fun and – dare we say – addictive! We don't expect you to charge our electric cars after every trip. However, if you do, the cost of charging is covered by us and we'll even give you SHARE NOW credit as a thank you. Here's how to do it:

Filter the partner stations in the app and let the app guide you to the nearest one. Once you are at the station, tap on 'Start charging'. Please note that in very few cases, you must plug the cable in before tapping on 'Start charging'.

Select an available charging pole and enter the number in the app. The charging pole number is on the pole itself, just below the QR code. In case of fast charging, you might also be required to select the cable you’ll use on the charging station’s screen.

Connect the cable to the car first. The cable is in the trunk or attached to the charging pole in case of a fast charging station. Make sure the engine is switched off and all doors and windows are closed.

Tap on 'Start charging' again on your smartphone and wait for the charging session to begin.

UNPLUG GUIDE

How to unplug an electric car in Germany

One of the perks of free-floating car-sharing is that you can locate electric cars anywhere throughout the Home Area. If you are looking for maximum range, though, we recommend starting your trip in a car that is waiting at a charging station, full and ready to hit the road. Here's how to unplug electric cars:

If you want to rent a car waiting at a charging station, please start the rental before ending the charging session and unplugging the car. If the rental is ongoing, simply end the charging.

Terminate the charging session from the app and confirm you want to stop the process. Only at this stage, you'll be able to unplug the car from the charging port.

Put the cable back in the trunk. In case you are using a fast charging station, just attach the cable to the charging pole. Push the button on the charging station or inside the car to release the cable.

Once the app confirms that the process is complete, you can drive off and either end your trip inside the Home Area or continue your journey.
