You can now automatically charge your EV via EVC’s AutoCharge feature

EV Connection (EVC), via their JomCharge app, has officially rolled out a new AutoCharge feature for its DC fast charging network.

Whilst previously some Chery Omoda E5 users were already able to utilise the function, the registration was manual and involved the user having to come to the EVC office. It was also limited to a few test chargers.

But with the official launch, users can now activate AutoCharge at over 200 supported charging points. With the new feature, EV users simply need to plug the charger into their vehicle. The charger will then automatically recognise the vehicle ID, subsequently triggering the charging.

One more advantage of AutoCharge is that the payment will be automatically billed to the payment card on the JomCharge app after charging.

Chargers that support the new feature can be identified by an AutoCharge sticker. As of now, AutoCharge is open only to Omoda E5 and GAC Aion Y Plus users but according to EVC, it is actively pursuing partnerships with other car brands to allow more EV users to benefit from the feature.

EV users who are interested in activating the AutoCharge feature can simply head to the latest AutoCharge enabled charger which can be located via the AutoCharge filter on the JomCharge app.

Once there, they can activate AutoCharge on the Accounts section in the app and follow the on screen instructions. A more detailed step-by-step guide can be found on EVC’s official YouTube page.
