MFG ultra-rapid charging network goes live on Zap-Pay

MFG EV Power, the ultra-rapid charging network belonging to Motor Fuel Group (MFG), is now live on Zap-Pay, enabling drivers to pay for charging within the Zap-Map app.

Zap-Pay said the addition of the MFG EV Power charging network to its in-app payment service was a major landmark for EV drivers

It’s the sixth charging network to come online with Zap-Pay – following Osprey, ESB Energy, Char.gy, GeniePoint and Mer – and means that more than 3,000 charging devices across the UK are currently Zap-Pay enabled.

The MFG EV Power network – which has ultra-rapid charging devices at locations stretching from Torquay to Wigan – operates over 200 rapid and ultra-rapid charging devices at service stations across the UK. By 2030, MFG is planning to invest around £400m in 3,000 ultra-rapid 150kW and 350kW EV charging devices across the network.

Zap-Pay said the addition of the MFG EV Power ultra-rapid charging network to its in-app payment service was a significant step towards quick, simple charging for EV drivers at service stations up and down the UK.

The Zap-Pay service launched late summer 2020 to provide a cross-network payment service, delivering a simple way to pay for EV charging across networks from within the Zap-Map app, as well as being able to search for charge points, plan longer journeys, and share updates with other EV drivers.

Alex Earl, commercial director at Zap-Map, said: “I’m delighted to see the MFG EV Power network come online with Zap-Pay. Not only is MFG a fantastic addition to the Zap-Pay partner network, but as a dynamic and expanding network with strategically placed ultra-rapid charge points, one that will make charging EVs that much easier for Zap-Map users.

“With Zap-Pay usage already increasing, we’re expecting to see this trend accelerate now that MFG EV Power is live on Zap-Pay.”

Ed Chadwick, director, EV at MFG, added: “At MFG we are committed to making the charging experience as simple and seamless as possible.  All our chargers are contactless card payment enabled, and with the addition of Zap-Pay we are pleased to add more convenient payment methods for drivers, particularly as they mix and match across networks.

“We have an incredibly exciting pipeline of site openings for 2022 and look forward to adding those chargers to the Zap-Pay network.”

All MFG EV Power charging devices in the UK have been Zap-Pay enabled and are available to use on Zap-Map’s iOS and Android mobile apps.
