Frequently asked questions
How do I get a RFID Tapkey?
We’ll send you a Tapkey in the mail when you sign up to a Tap subscription plan that comes with a free RFID Tapkey.
Is the RFID Tapkey safe?
Our Tapkey is the world’s first charging key to come with built-in security against theft, copying or emulating. You can add extra security to your Tapkey by enabling two-factor authentication. This means if you start session with your Tapkey at a location you have not charged at before, you must authenticate in the app before charging.
How much can I save with a subscription?
Your savings will depend on the plan you choose, subscribers can save up to 10% on every charge session.
Does my invoicing change when I subscribe to a plan?
When you subscribe, you automatically switch from “pay-as-you-go” to monthly invoicing. Pay-as-you-go means you pay per transaction as soon as your session is finished. Monthly invoicing means you pay for all of your transactions from the last month in a single monthly payment. New or high volume users may be billed more frequently, see terms and conditions for more details.
Can I change my subscription?
You can change your subscription plan once per invoice period. This change takes effect immediately.
Example
- You sign up for a free Tap subscription on September 4th. Your invoice period is September 4th – October 4th.
- On September 19th, you upgrade to a paid subscription of £5/month.
- All charging sessions from September 19th onwards will benefit from the discounted pricing associated to the paid subscription.
- On your September invoice, we will charge you £2.50 for your subscription (we pro-rata the £5/month paid subscription cost for 15 days), plus all session costs.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your subscription at any time in the Tap app. The cancellation will take effect at the end of the current invoicing cycle.
Do you need a charge card to charge your car?
Providers often have an app that you can use to find available chargers and start a charge session. You do not need a charge card to charge your car with most providers, but it can make starting a charge session easier. You can simply tap it against a charger’s reader to start a charge and tap it once more to stop the session.
When should I consider subscribing?
If you charge more than 100kWh/month, you could save on transaction and additional charging costs with a subscription like Tap Premium.
I'm interested in using Tap for my business charging. Can I sign up for a Tapkey subscription?
Yes. When you sign up for a Tapkey subscription, you can easily add your business name and VAT number to your billing information. Once you’ve entered this information, all future invoices will reflect these details.
