Arrow downDo I need a charging card and app to use charging points? What do I use the app for?

Charging processes can be initiated with the charging card or the CHARGE NOW for Business app. There are now some charging points that can only be started with the app. The app not only has a charging function, it also provides information about charging point locations and prices. Since the charging price models differ considerably, we recommend that you check the prices in the app before charging to prevent high costs being incurred.

Arrow downWhat do I do if I experience technical problems when charging my vehicle?

If you experience a technical problem, please call the charging station operator’s hotline. In the CHARGE NOW for Business app, select the public charging station where you want to charge your vehicle. You can call the charging station operator from the app if there’s a technical problem. LeasePlan assumes no responsibility for the operation of a charging station. The operator has sole responsibility for this.

If the charging station operator determines that the charging station is free of technical defects, please call the LeasePlan driver service hotline: +49 211 91358221. You can also find this phone number in the app under ‘Account/Customer Service’. You’ll be able to resolve problems with your charging card via the hotline. If possible, try the charging card at another charging station to see whether it works there.

Arrow downCan I charge my car abroad?

The LeasePlan CHARGE NOW for Business charging card allows you to charge your vehicle abroad. As long as a charging station is listed in the app, you can charge your vehicle there as usual. However, your employer may have certain rules for charging abroad that we’re not aware of, so you should check with your fleet manager before you travel to a another country. Prices abroad can vary greatly as there are no common pricing guidelines for charging electricity tariffs. So please make sure you check the price before every charge.
