To discover how much it will cost to charge an EV from a LiFe 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.
LiFe network access
Access to the LiFe network is made via smartphone app or RFID card, both of which are free to download/acquire. Payment is either taken from a credit or debit card linked to the customer’s account after the charge, or credit can be added to the account beforehand.
Finding LiFe points on Zapmap
All LiFe 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 LiFe.
Charging types and speeds can be filtered too, showing only those points that are compatible with users’ cars.
