Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a charger showing as offline when I know it's working?
Status data comes from operator feeds and may have delays. Try pulling down to refresh, or check the charger directly.
The price shown doesn't match what I paid. Why?
Operators can change rates without notice. Some chargers may have time-of-use pricing or membership discounts. We show the base rate from our last data update. Always confirm the final price on the physical charger display or app.
Do I need to create an account to use the app?
No. EV Charge Buddy works fully without registration.
Can I use the app without location permission?
Yes. You can search by address or postal code. Location permission only enables the "nearby" feature and distance calculations—you're in control and can change this anytime in Settings.
How accurate are the availability numbers?
We aggregate from multiple sources with update frequencies ranging from real-time to 10 minutes. During busy periods, a charger may become occupied between updates.
