The Porsche Charging Service app arrives to revolutionise the world of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles

The world of electric and hybrid vehicles is starting to become tangible in today’s market, as the most prestigious brands are putting all their efforts into bringing this type of technology closer to us. However, companies such as Porsche want to go further in this respect, aiming to improve and simplify all the needs of an electric or plug-in hybrid car, two types of powertrain that the German brand works with. Porsche Charging Service is presented as an app that seeks to improve every aspect of using one of these cars, and today we tell you how it works.

Adapting the automotive world to electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is not simple since, although the range of these is quite usable, charging points are still generally scarce. To make things easier, Porsche has decided to develop this mobile application, which will not only tell us where we can charge our electric or hybrid sports car, but will also provide us with a lot more data.

Porsche aims to ensure that its customers most committed to the environment receive the same good treatment as anyone who buys any other model from the firm, and that is why it has devised all kinds of solutions so that they need not worry about anything. Thanks to this new digital platform, users of an electric or hybrid Porsche will be able to avoid tedious situations and resolve all their dilemmas quickly and efficiently.

The German firm has set up a series of services designed to help manage day-to-day life with one of its electric or hybrid vehicles productively. The Porsche Charging Service will allow us to see in real time which charging stations are nearest and how much it will cost to charge our Porsche at each and every service point. Once the desired destination has been selected, the sports car’s own navigation system will be the one that takes us to that station.

This app is completely free and it will be as simple as going up to the charging post, showing the app’s QR code or the Porsche I.D. card provided by the brand itself and starting to recharge our electric or hybrid vehicle. For the time being this service will be exclusive to a few countries, among them Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Finland, but it will gradually extend to the rest of the world.

Porsche is characterised by offering a very exclusive range of vehicles, but on this occasion it has wanted to help every user of an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle, and that is why this app will be compatible with any other car with this powertrain. In this way, the German firm aims to revolutionise the electric world a little further, where it will soon introduce its first 100% electric model.
