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

The MFG integration means more than 3,000 charging devices across the UK are now Zap-Pay enabled.

MFG’s EV Power ultra-rapid charging network has become the latest to go live on Zap- Pay, the simple way to pay for EV charging across networks from within the Zap-Map app.

Zap-Pay is a single-app payment system that uses a credit or debit card to pay for charging. It enables users to avoid the hassle of using different payment methods across all the various networks.

The MFG integration means that more than 3,000 charging devices across the UK are Zap-Pay enabled. As a result, Zap-Map users can now pay quickly and easily for their EV charging, as well as being able to search for charge points, plan longer journeys, and share updates with other EV drivers.

MFG’s network currently has more than 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 ultrarapid 150kW and 350kW EV charging devices across its network.

Alex Earl, Commercial Director at Zap-Map, said: “I’m delighted to see the MFG’s 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’s EV Power is live on Zap-Pay.”

Ed Chadwick, director, EV at MFG, said: “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.”
