How do I add more balance to my prepaid account?
Your account balance is automatically topped up when your account balance is less than 1000 RSD. When starting a charging session with less than 1000 RSD of balance left, a 3000 RSD top-up is transferred from your payment card to your charging account balance. Please note that for the top-up to work there must be a valid payment card linked to the account.

What is the difference between AC and DC?
AC and DC are referring to current types Alternating Current and Direct Current, respectively. Batteries, also in EVs, store energy in DC format.
What are different plugs for?
Schuko is meant for using small appliances and is suitable for temporary charging of EVs. It is not recommended for longer time use. The charging power with Schuko outlet is very limited.
Type2 is an EU standard in charging and the most common plug out there. Type2 is used for AC charging and is most used in cases where your car is parked for a few hours such as shopping malls, workplaces or residential buildings. Charging power with Type2 plug is higher than with a traditional wall plug but the power output depends on your car charging abilities.
CCS is an European standard for quick charging. CCS plug gives power out as direct current (DC) which means the charging power is significantly higher. CCS plugs are usually found along highways where the stop for charging is kept in minimum to allow smooth journey.
CHAdeMO is a Japanese standard for quick charging. Usually quick chargers are equipped with both CHAdeMO and CCS plugs to allow maximum compatibility.
What is RFID and what is it used for?
RFID or radio frequency identification is a technology which can be utilized for authenticating yourself at a charging station. Unique RFID is linked to your account and when used at a charging station you can start or stop a charging event without mobile or web application.
Where can I get myself RFID card?
RFID card can be ordered by the registration process itself, where you only need to check the box for ordering a tag, or later when you access your account and select the Order RFID card box.
How to charge without registration?

What does the prepaid account mean?
Charge&GO customer account works with prepaid model where during registration an initial balance of 3000 RSD is added from your payment card to your charging account. All the charging events are billed from this account balance, meaning that no separate payments are made from the payment card for every charging session.

Urgent help at charging station
When you need help urgently on a charging station, please check first if our How-to and Help section can provide you the needed answers. If you can’t find a remedy, please don’t hesitate to contact our support (contact information below).
The most common working solutions to the most common issues:
- Can’t start charging? – If you are sure you have the right to use a station and your payment information is correct, checking the cable connection or waiting for a bit and trying again helps in most cases. This gives the charger a new chance to communicate with our platform.
- Can’t stop charging? – As above, trying again is the best help here. Try, both, with your RFID and app. Give the charging station a chance to reconnect with our platform.
- Can’t release the cable? – You should always be able to release the cable from the car. Depending on the car model, there is a release or open socket button. Also toggling the central locking system of the car often releases the cable. This often releases the cable also from the charger. If the cable is yours and still attached to the charger, please contact our support.
- Can’t get to the charger? – If you want to charge your vehicle and access the charger outside of the opening hours of the facility where the charger is located, inform the security or maintenance worker on site that you want to use the charger so they will allow you access.

Why is my car charging slower than the maximum speed?
When charging, the EV and the charger are in constant discussion with each other in regards to how much power can be delivered. The speed of charging depends on many factors and in many cases the maximum power of the charging device is not reached constantly.
The following things affect the charging power:
- State and condition of the battery
- Onboard charger of the vehicle
- Electric grid state
- Load balancing of the location
- Temperature
What should I do if the cable is stuck?
In rare occasions charging cable may end up stuck inside charger’s socket. This may happen due to charger malfunction or connection time out. If this happens don’t panic and firstly try stopping charger event via mobile app, RFID or one-time-payment website. If this doesn’t help, try to unlock and lock cable from your car’s side. Gently try to remove the cable from the socket; some charger manufactures have rather tight sockets on their devices.
If none of the solutions above helps please contact our customer support and we’ll take it from there.
Another car is blocking the charging station. Where can I report this?
Charging stations are reserved for charging electric vehicles, using charging station as a parking spot is prohibited. Please contact the local parking administration for wrongly parked vehicle. Local parking administrations have instructions on how to proceed with the process.
The charge event cannot be started. What can I do?
There are few reasons that charge event cannot be started. Please consider these before reporting customer service via hotline:
Make sure that cable is properly connected to the charging station and vehicle. Sometimes re-plugging solves the issue.
If you’re using RFID, try to authenticate again to the charging station.
If you’re using mobile app, try to close the app and re-start the charging event.
Check your customer account balance.
Some chargers are only for private use and require a separate permission from charge-point-owner. If you think you should have access to use the charger, please contact owner or manager of the charger. Charger is often related to workplace or facility where the charger is located in.
Some chargers may be temporarily offline and require maintenance, please try again at a later time when charger is brought back online.
The charger (e.g. display) is broken. Where can I report this?
If you find out that a charger is broken in any way which may or may not cause harm to other people. Please contact our customer service via phone or by filling in a form. Try to be very specific when reporting about an incident and our customer service can alert local maintenance personnel.
I’ve forgotten my password
Worry not – you can at any time reset your password from the login screen of the application. After filling in your email address, click on the option Forgot password. If the email for restarting the password does not arrive within few minutes, please check your spam folder.
If you encounter problems with the password reset, please contact our customer support.
Where can I see the price of charging?
Up to date pricing information of charging points is always available through the charge&GO mobile application for each location. Price shown on the moment the charge is started will be used for the charging session, so even though the price would change during the charging session the price you see is applied.
Please note that prices may differ if you’re using one-time payment option. Prices are always shown before you start the charging event.
Ordering an RFID
You can order RFID charging card and tag either when signing up or later through the customer portal. If you are a new customer, just tick the „I want to order RFID tag“ on registration and those will be ordered for you when the account is created.

Delivery of RFIDs takes up to 2 weeks, depending on the time you’ve ordered them. RFIDs will arrive to the given address by courier service.
I cannot find the charger as shown in the app
If you cannot find a charger as it’s shown in the app, please contact our customer service. Charger’s coordinates could be wrong or the charger might be for only private use.
Network error when selecting charger
If you encounter a prompt about possible network error when selecting the charger you are likely viewing a location that has been recently changed from public to private. The app updates the data frequently but there might be cases in which old location information is left cached to the device.
If network error persists please let us know, by contacting us.
The location of a charging point is wrong
If you find a station that has been marked inaccurately to the map you can report this to our support team.
Why price of charging differs per location?
The charge&GO network consists of dozens of charging point owners (CPO) that are acting independently. This means that the price of each charging point is set independently.
Is there a way to charge without creating a prepaid account?
Yes – you can use all public charge&GO charging points also as one-time customer and pay charging directly with your payment card.
There are two ways of charging with one-time payment. You can either go to directly to our website at: charge.chargego.rs and find the charging station with its label number. After selecting the charging station, you are prompted to give your payment card details after which the charging process will be started. Please note that in order to stop the charging session you must use the same device that was used for starting the session.
One-time payment can also be accessed by scanning the QR code located on the charger itself. Scanning the code will take you to the payment card entry page, after which you will be able to start your session.

I need a receipt of my payment, where do I find one?

I can’t verify my email address, what to do?

I was charged too much. How can I get a refund?
It is possible, yet rare, that price for charging event is calculated wrong. This usually is because of some inaccurate data received from the charging point due to malfunction.
