DRIVECO announces a new advancement to facilitate electric vehicle charging planning. Users of the DRIVECO application can now book their charging point up to a week in advance, a first in the French market. This new feature transforms the way electric vehicle journeys are managed, offering a completely worry-free charging experience. This service is currently available at 200 DRIVECO charging stations located in Carrefour Market car parks.
“As a leader in charging infrastructure, our responsibility is multifaceted: making electric mobility accessible to the widest possible audience, being educational, and providing a smooth user experience. With advance booking, DRIVECO facilitates journey planning by allowing users to reserve their charging point up to a week in advance, thus guaranteeing a hassle-free charging experience,” states Ion Leahu-Aluas, CEO of DRIVECO
An innovation that meets drivers’ expectations
According to a recent study by DRIVECO and Toluna Harris Interactive, 79% of French people report having waited at a charging point, and 52% state that this waiting occurs frequently. Indeed, drivers increasingly express the need to ensure the availability of a charging point, particularly during long journeys. This is why DRIVECO’s advance booking feature directly addresses these concerns by offering drivers a practical and free solution.
An advancement for electric mobility
With advance booking, DRIVECO offers its users numerous advantages:
- Save time: no more last-minute searches for an available charging point.
- Travel with peace of mind: guaranteed availability of a charging point upon arrival.
- Plan journeys precisely: optimised routes with guaranteed charging at each stop.
- Free service: advance booking is integrated at no additional cost in the DRIVECO application.
Starting your reserved charging session: simple and practical
Users can start their reserved session by scanning the QR code located on their allocated charging point. The reserved charging session can be activated up to 15 minutes before the selected time and will be automatically cancelled 10 minutes after the time slot in case of no-show.
