One of the most common questions new EV drivers have is whether they can have a charging card without a monthly subscription. The good news is that many providers, like E-Flux by Road, offer a “pay as you charge” model, whereby you’re not locked into a contract of any length. This is usually the preferred model for drivers who don’t need to charge frequently at public stations, or newer drivers who are still getting familiar with charging and payments.

The benefits of a no-subscription charge card

No commitment

With a “pay as you charge” model, drivers don’t need to be tied down to subscription costs for a set period of time, or feel under pressure to maximise their subscription. This allows flexibility for drivers, especially those who don’t need to charge often.

Easier entry for new EV drivers

New drivers might not be sure about their charging needs yet, or want to commit to monthly fees in the early stages. This makes EV adoption and integration easier.

No monthly fees

Those who don’t charge frequently don’t need to pay fees if they’re not using their charge cards frequently.
