Everything You Need to Know About Electric Car Charging with Mer

Mer reserves a pre-authorisation fee of £45.00 for each charging session, this is to verify that the card is working and that sufficient funds are available to cover the payment. This does not cost you anything and the charge never leaves your bank account and may temporarily show as a pending payment. This charge is held by your bank, not Mer and therefore how long it is held depends on your bank provider. If you have any questions or concerns about billing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at hello.uk@mer.eco and we’ll be happy to assist you.

We take care of everything from site survey to charge point(s) installation and grid connection. We can also set you up on our operator portal so you can manage your charge points and provide you with charge cards (if applicable). We work with OZEV-approved installers all over the UK.

With a wide choice of service packages and funding options available, we can tailor your solution to fit your needs and give you maximum value.

Your actual charge speed is based on several factors including battery size, vehicle charge rate, charger speed, the weather, and more. For example, a charge point may advertise speeds of 22 kWh – but this doesn’t necessarily mean this is what you’ll receive. Find out more in our blog here.
