300+ Chargers.
UK. Gibraltar. Guernsey.
Plus 800,000+ across Europe.
What charge-point roaming actually is
“Roaming” sounds like a phone-network thing. In EV charging, it means almost the same: your Plug-n-Go account works on other operators’ chargers, without you having to create a new account, download another app or carry another RFID card.
Behind the scenes, the major European networks talk to each other through two roaming hubs — Hubject and Gireve. Plug-n-Go is connected to both. So when you tap your Plug-n-Go fob or your app at a Shell Recharge, IONITY or Fastned charger, the systems handshake quietly, the session starts, and the bill ends up on your Plug-n-Go account.
Where it works
On our own network: every Plug-n-Go charger in the UK, Guernsey and Gibraltar. Live availability, live pricing, live session monitoring.
On roaming partner networks: 800,000+ chargers across 60 countries. The networks you’ll recognise — Shell Recharge, bp Pulse, IONITY, Osprey, Fastned, E.ON, Mer, InstaVolt, TotalEnergies, Be.EV, Wenea, Zunder, Place to Plug — and many more through the Hubject and Gireve roaming hubs and the Octopus Electroverse aggregator.
Countries covered include: all 27 EU member states, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, the UK and Channel Islands, and a growing list beyond.
How to use a roaming charger
- Open the Plug-n-Go app. Tap “All filters” and turn on “Roaming stations”. Partner chargers now appear on the map alongside ours.
- Pick the charger you want. The app shows live availability, connector types, the partner’s pricing and any local rules.
- Tap to start charging in the app — or use your Plug-n-Go RFID fob at the charger.
- Pay on your Plug-n-Go account. Everything appears on one monthly invoice — no juggling apps, no juggling receipts.
What roaming costs
On Plug-n-Go chargers, you pay our standard tariff (see Pricing).
On partner networks, the network operator sets the price — and we show you that price in the app before you start. No surprises, no markup hidden in the fine print. Any roaming fees are included in the displayed price.
Real journeys — from the UK
Whether it’s a weekend in Brittany, a ski trip to the Alps, a French motorway run or a longer European tour, your Plug-n-Go account works the same as it does at home — at Shell Recharge in Calais, IONITY across Germany, Fastned in the Netherlands, Plugsurfing in Italy, Iberdrola in Spain.
