- Plug & Charge Needs ID. Software 3.1 or newer. From Octopus Electroverse's list, which covers the UK networks it roams: MFG, IONITY, Porsche, Allego and E.ON Drive.
- Yes
- Autocharge Volkswagen Group cars send a different identifier every time they plug in, so no network can tie the session to an account, and it is not something a driver can switch off. Plug & Charge is the group's answer to this instead. Fastned's published list stops at the cars of December 2022 and does not name this one, so treating it as the same software is our call.
