We only buy the best.A bit more about TapTap was founded in late 2020 by two charging software veterans, Nico and Dan, who saw that the charging UX for EV drivers was broken. They bootstrapped their way to building 2 key products: a driver app that enables really simple payments on a huge network of chargers; and a platform for charger owners and installers to manage their chargers and collect payments. Tap is live in The Netherlands, Belgium and the UK with thousands of satisfied users. At Tap, we believe that the intersection of energy and mobility has unlocked the next great wave of technological innovation, and we are here for it. Join us!
