Tap Electric has evolved from a payment solution for charging stations into a broader energy and charging management platform offering tools such as Tap Radar (fraud prevention for shared mobility), Prijs Intel (upfront insight into charging costs) and Power Intel (incentivizing grid-friendly charging).
