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 [email protected] and we’ll be happy to assist you.

We are partnering with the best hardware manufacturers to offer you fast and rapid charge points.

Fast chargers (7 – 22 kW) also called, destination charging, suitable for when drivers will stay for a few hours or more – such as close to home, at work, or whilst running errands.

Rapid chargers (43 – 350 kW) are often found on motorways and other areas where dwell time is low, such as service stations. It is useful for drivers who need to charge and go, and therefore will usually command a premium over regular fast charging.

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.
