We’ve launched Price Drop in the Go App, making it clearer when you can save on public charging. Look out for limited-time discounts and see where you could pay less when charging away from home.
Finding a public chargepoint is one thing. Finding a good price is another.
At certain times, participating chargepoints lower their prices when there’s extra energy available on the grid. Price Drop makes these limited-time offers easy to spot in the Go App, helping you find opportunities to charge for less.

Price Drop is a new way to find limited-time public charging discounts in the Go App.
Sometimes there’s more energy available on the grid than people are using. When this happens, participating chargepoint operators can lower their charging prices for a limited time.
Price Drop brings these offers together in the Go App. You can see where discounts are available on a single map before you plug in.
Offers will change, so the discount, times and participating chargepoints might be different each time. When a Price Drop is available, check the Go App to see where you could charge for less.
You’ll see a banner in the Go App when a Price Drop event is live or coming soon. Select the banner to view participating chargepoints, discounted prices, and how long the offer is available.
Switch on notifications if you’d like to be alerted when a new Price Drop event becomes available.
When you charge at a participating chargepoint during the Price Drop, we’ll automatically apply the discounted price, so you do not need to do anything else.
Price Drop is available to Motability Scheme customers with an electric vehicle and the Go App installed.
You’ll need an electric vehicle on the Motability Scheme and a smartphone or tablet. Download the Go App from the Apple or Google Play Store, then sign in using your Motability Scheme online account details.
You’ll get access to features including Price Drop, charging information, accessibility, and journey planning tools.
Yes. We’ll work with chargepoint operators to bring more public charging discounts into the Go App when we can.
Our aim is to show you the offers available through participating chargepoint operators in one place, so it’s easier to spot opportunities to charge for less.
Public charging is not covered by a single pricing system. Different charging networks set their own prices, and costs can vary depending on the location and charging speed.
Top tip
Check the Go App before you charge, as available offers can change.
Frequently asked questions
How long do Price Drop discounts last?
Price Drop discounts are available for a limited time. The offer details shown in the Go App include information about the discounted price and how long the offer is available.
Do all chargepoints offer Price Drop discounts?
No. Price Drop applies to participating chargepoints offering temporary discounted charging prices.
Where can I find public chargepoints near me?
Search for a postcode, town, city, or location in the Go App to view nearby chargepoints. The map shows available charging locations in the area, including participating chargepoints offering Price Drop discounts.
Can charging at home be cheaper?
Yes. Charging at home is often one of the most cost-effective ways to charge an electric car, particularly if you’re on an EV or off-peak energy tariff. When you need to charge on the go, Price Drop can help you find selected limited-time discounts at participating public chargepoints. If you’d like to learn more about charging at home and choosing an energy tariff, read more on energy tariffs and charging your EV.
