How it works

How peer-to-peer EV charging works.

Wattly connects EV drivers with neighbours who have a home charger. Drivers book a charger by the hour; hosts list theirs for free and earn from every booking.

FAQ

Peer-to-peer EV charging FAQs

What is peer-to-peer EV charging?

Peer-to-peer EV charging means one person sharing their private EV charger with another. On Wattly, homeowners list their home charger and EV drivers nearby book it by the hour, so a charger that would otherwise sit idle on a driveway gets used.

How do I find home EV chargers near me?

Search the Wattly map by town, postcode or your current location. It shows home chargers listed by Wattly hosts near you.

Who sets the price of a home charging session?

The host. Each host sets a price per hour or per kWh, and drivers see the full price before booking. Wattly takes a platform fee, shown before booking.

Does it cost anything to list my EV charger?

No. Listing a charger on Wattly is free, with no contracts or monthly fees. You can pause or remove your listing whenever you like.
