Owning a Jaguar I-PACE, Range Rover PHEV or Range Rover Sport PHEV has just become easier thanks to a partnership between Plugsurfing and Jaguar Land Rover.

The agreement will give owners access to more than 70,000 charging points across Europe and a simple payment method. Customers can opt into the service, either by paying as they go or with a fixed monthly fee, which entitles them to a universal charging card and an introduction to the Jaguar or Land Rover Public Charging app. The mobile phone application allows users to check where the nearest charging points are, which locations are available, and choose the speed of charge they require.

Mick Cameron, Head of e-Mobility at Jaguar Land Rover, said: “We are aiming to simplify the charging process through simple accessibility, usability and payment in one solution.

“With the number of accessible charging points rapidly growing as new operators work with Plugsurfing network in major markets throughout Europe, it helps our customers to be working with the leading provider.”

Available to customers at their retailer, the app is initially being launched in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland and the Czech Republic.

Plugsurfing CEO Jacob van Zonneveld, said that the question on most electric vehicle owners lips is ‘where do I charge my car?’ He adds: “Thanks to this partnership with Jaguar Land Rover, we are able to remove one of the largest barriers to switching to an electric vehicle.

“Plugsurfing is working to influence and drive infrastructure policy to expand the number of charging points available across Europe for Jaguar Land Rover users.”
