PowerGo App

  • The App aims to make electric (car) driving easier. The App provides insight into, among other things, where the nearest charging point is, what the consumption is and how ‘Smart Charge’ can be used. In addition, the App enables the user to pay at a charging point.

PowerGo is not responsible for third-party services and privacy/cookie policies. In the event of any contradiction, these Terms of Use and Privacy Statement will prevail.
  • Additional terms and conditions may apply if goods and/or services are purchased from third parties or from PowerGo through use. To the extent that those additional terms conflict with the Terms of Use, the Terms of Use will prevail.
