TotalEnergies - Charge: European EV charging map and management app
Experience TotalEnergies - Charge, from TotalEnergies Marketing Services, an Android utility for finding and managing EV charging stations. The app provides an interactive map, real-time availability indicators, and filters by connector type and charging power, plus network provider filters and route-planning tools to plan stops. Features include availability status, connector information, and options for guest browsing or account-based management with expenditure tracking. Aimed at European EV drivers, especially professional drivers and fleet managers, it supports route planning and expense tracking.
How detailed is the app's station technical data?
The app displays per-station technical specifics such as charging curves, connector types (Type 2, CCS), opening hours, and applicable tariffs. These details let drivers match vehicle charging capabilities to station output before departure. In addition, station pages report current operational state and connector-level availability, which helps avoid mismatched plugs and unsuitable power levels on arrival. Information appears inline on the map and within station details to reduce hunting for specs while driving.
How wide is the network and who can access it?
The app links to a broad European roaming grid of charging points, including partner networks such as Ionity, Fastned, and Shell Recharge, and offers access across multiple operators. Business cardholders connect Charge+ Business credentials to activate roaming benefits, while the guest pathway allows non-registered users to locate stations without an account. Device compatibility is managed through the Android distribution channel, with version checks available in the store listing.
Does the app provide account control and operational support?
In-account tools cover expenditure history and card controls, enabling users to register a Charge+ Business card and use the app to report lost or stolen cards and request an immediate card suspension by telephone. The app includes direct links to customer and technical support for fault reporting. User feedback highlights the importance of frequent data synchronization to keep station status accurate across providers.
Practical for fleets, with a data-synchronization caveat
TotalEnergies - Charge is a practical option for professional drivers and fleet managers who need consolidated charging data and corporate card controls. The main limitation is reliance on up-to-date network synchronization across partners, which affects live availability accuracy. Tip: confirm station status in the app shortly before arrival, and use the card suspension feature immediately if a card is lost during trips.
