On AC it takes hours, depending on your car and the station’s power. Use the cost calculator to estimate energy and price.
What if the charger does not start?
Check that the cable is fully plugged in and that the connector shows free in the app, then try again. If it still fails, write to info@ev-armenia.net with the station name; a payment for a session that did not start will be sorted out.
What happens to prepaid money I did not use?
You are billed only for the energy you used. If you paid by bank card, the rest is refunded to the card; if you paid with Idram, Fastshift or the wallet, it stays as credit (for guests, under your e-mail).
Can I withdraw my ELECTRO balance, and does it expire?
ELECTRO balance is spent only on charging, cannot be withdrawn and does not expire. Questions about your balance: info@ev-armenia.net.
