💡 Why this matters
A public charging site is only valuable if EV drivers choose to use it.
Public charging is a competitive, high-investment market where return on investment is driven by usage. We know that price, speed, location and availability are decisive factors for EV drivers, but when multiple sites meet these criteria, a great user experience becomes the differentiator.
This release is the first step in elevating how your public charging sites are presented to the 800,000+ EV drivers on the Monta platform and showcasing the investments you've made in building attractive sites.
We welcome any feedback or suggestions to improve our site experience in the future.
🌍 Availability Global
👥 Who is this for? All EV drivers using the Monta Charge app or partner white-label apps.
