CUPRA Simplifies Electric Vehicle Charging with In-Car App and Charging Map

(IN BRIEF) CUPRA introduces an innovative in-car system, the CUPRA Charging Map, to streamline the charging experience for CUPRA Born drivers across Europe. Integrated into the vehicle’s infotainment display, the app provides real-time data on 620,000 charging points in 27 European countries, enhancing journey planning by offering information on charging station availability, ratings, and customer feedback. This move aligns with CUPRA’s commitment to electric vehicle ownership, complementing the success of the CUPRA Born while facilitating effortless navigation and promoting community engagement within the electric vehicle ecosystem.

(PRESS RELEASE) MARTORELL, 9-Feb-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — CUPRA has enhanced the way drivers use their all-electric vehicles with the launch of the CUPRA Charging Map.

CUPRA Born drivers can use the in-car system to make finding charging stations simpler and more efficient, with up-to-date information and customer feedback all accessible from the vehicle’s infotainment display.

Downloading the app is easy, done either using a smart device on the MyCUPRA app Store or using the car’s infotainment system. And it’s completely free.

The CUPRA Charging Map opens up charging infrastructure accessibility through the screen of the car, including the 620,000 charging points in 27 European countries that make up the CUPRA Charging Service, provided together with Elli, the Volkswagen Group Charging company.

With the rollout of the In-car app, users can find the public charging stations near where they would like to charge by simply running a map search from inside the vehicle. The CUPRA Charging Map provides data to the embedded navigation system, giving the user the chance to plan their journey; considering the charging stops needed to reach their destination.

And with greater detail, including checking the availability of charging points in advance, as well as the ability to display the nearest or best-rated charging station and be guided to them directly, the entire process is simple and stress-free.

The CUPRA Charging Map also delivers a stronger community where users can view or provide online ratings and feedback on charging stations, making other people’s navigation easier. It means every journey can be planned with complete confidence.

The introduction of the In-car app moves CUPRA’s drive to electrification a step further. Combined with the CUPRA Born, the brand’s first all-electric car, launched in 2021, it helps makes the ownership proposition effortless.

The CUPRA Born was CUPRA’s second most popular model in 2023, with 45,300 units delivered (+44.4% compared to the year before (31,400)). And in 2024, the CUPRA Born will also receive product upgrades as well as a new version, with the debut of the CUPRA Born VZ.

The CUPRA Charging Map can be downloaded free of charge in the MyCUPRA app Store or can be accessed using the vehicle’s infotainment system. Through the In-car Store, users can also download the CUPRA Online Vehicle Maintenance App, designed to help drivers maintain their vehicle and facilitate seamless communication with their preferred service partner.
