In Europe, Jaguar Land Rover has partnered with Plugsurfing to supply a premium charging service for its electric vehicles in selected markets.

Drivers that choose the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE performance SUV will be given free access to the Jaguar Public Charging app, while Range Rover or Range Rover Sport plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid (PHEV) customers can download the Land Rover Public Charging app for free.

Both apps are able to locate 70,000 charging points and pay for the charging session.  Customers will also receive a universal charging card that allows them to use most charging points across Europe.

Through the apps, Jaguar and Land Rover electric vehicle drivers can see whether a charging station is available or occupied. Drivers can choose to rapid charge before reaching their destination or charge at normal speed upon arrival.
