eCharge+ app
Use vaylens’ eCharge+ app to find EV chargers on the road, pay for charging sessions, and manage charging at home, easily in one place.
How vaylens’ eCharge+ app makes EV charging easier for you
You don’t have to worry about where to charge and whether an EV charger will actually be free
vaylens’ eCharge+ app shows nearby charge points on a map or list and displays their availability in real time. This helps you quickly locate a suitable EV charger and avoid unnecessary detours.
You will no longer find unpleasant surprises in the monthly bill for your EV charging sessions
Pricing for public charging can vary and is not always obvious. vaylens’ eCharge+ app shows the price before you start charging, helping you make informed decisions and avoid unpleasant surprises on your monthly bill.
You can finally pay for your charging sessions in any way you prefer
You may encounter limited payment methods at different charge points. vaylens’ eCharge+ app allows payments through a charging contract or directly via credit card, PayPal, Google Wallet, or Apple Pay — all within the same app.

What our customers say about us
“With vaylens’ new modules, the internal workload has dropped dramatically. It’s become really simple and appealing to offer new services to local drivers.”
Frank Buchholz
Fleet Manager, BEW
