Quickly expanding, Alfa Power is setting up a nationwide public charging network focused on rapid and fast charge points for EV drivers to access.
Access to Alfa Power points is available for users that have set up an account and received an RFID card, or on a pay-as-you-go basis by using the network’s app or a smartphone’s QR reader.

To discover how much it will cost to charge an EV from an Alfa Power charge point, head to Zapmap’s Public Charging Calculator. This allows you to select any new or used plug-in vehicle, and tailor elements – such as electricity cost and charge required – for personalised results.
Alfa Power network access
Access to the Alfa Power network is made via the network’s smartphone app, RFID card, or generic QR reader – which then opens up a payment portal. Payment is then taken from a credit or debit card linked to the customer’s account after the charging session is complete.
Finding Alfa Power points on Zapmap
All Alfa Power points can be found on Zapmap by using the network filter. This can be used on the desktop and mobile apps, and displays only those points operated by Alfa Power.
Charging types and speeds can be filtered too, showing only those points that are compatible with users’ cars.
