Charge guests and drivers for the electricity they use
Without the right software, your charger only charges your own car and you pay for everyone else's. We connect it to Tap Electric so drivers pay you back, at no monthly cost to you.

Two things to check first
Most chargers will work. These are the two things that decide it.
Is your charger OCPP compliant?
Any charge point that is OCPP compliant can be onboarded with Tap — that's what unlocks the clever stuff, like setting your own prices and taking payments from drivers. Not sure about yours? Just Google the model you've got together with the word "OCPP". If it comes up, we can connect it. Or send us the make and model on WhatsApp and we'll check for you.
Is there a good Wi-Fi signal at the charger?
The charger needs an internet connection to talk to Tap — that's how sessions show up, your prices update and payments get collected. A weak Wi-Fi signal where the charger is fitted is the most common cause of problems, so it's worth checking before we visit. Chargers with a SIM can use a mobile signal instead.
Passing on the electricity cost
A guest tops up their car with 30 kWh during their stay.

Example figures only, not a quote. A driver fee of up to 15% is added on top for the guest — and that fee can be lower with a Tap membership.
Tap Electric vs Monta vs Fuuse

Why we choose Tap
Nothing for you to pay
No monthly fee and no cut of your charging money. The driver pays a service fee of up to 15% instead — and that drops if you take out a Tap membership, so there's a way to pay less.
No contract
Stay because it works. Your charger can move platform any time.
Built for small sites
Ideal for holiday lets, B&Bs and small businesses with 1 to 10 chargers.
