On July 15, SEAT S.A. unveiled its new "My CUPRA App" which centralizes all charging services in a single application with an updated design for a seamless and user-friendly experience. It provides access to a network of over 700,000 public charging stations across Europe. Users can subscribe to a tariff, manage their plan, view charging history, find nearby stations, get charger availability, and navigate with the fastest route.
Charging stations can be unlocked and charging started via RFID card or the app. The Plug and Charge function allows for charging without using an RFID card or phone. The app also includes functionality for locating charging stations, sending routes to vehicles, checking station details, and others. Users can remotely control chargers, create charging routines, monitor real-time charging status, and view home charging history.
The updated My CUPRA app coincides with the launch of the CUPRA Charger 2, designed to make vehicle charging cost-effective. The CUPRA Charger 2 uses smart charging technology to optimize charging profiles based on electricity prices and home solar energy, potentially reducing costs by up to 40%. Developed for 28 European markets and will be available starting in autumn 2024.
