How do I use Autocharge?

Learn how to set up and use Autocharge so you can start charging your electric vehicle by simply plugging in — no app or RFID card needed.

For: Electric vehicle (EV) drivers using Monta Charge at supported charge points

Autocharge lets you start charging by plugging in your car — no app interaction or RFID card needed. It requires a supported charge point and a compatible car. Not all cars and charging stations support Autocharge; it requires digital communication support (ISO 15118) on both ends.

Step 1: Add your car to your Monta account

All you need is the brand, model, and plug type. Car integration is not required for Autocharge.

  1. Go to Me and tap + Add car.
  2. Select the brand and model of your car.
  3. At the integration step, tap Maybe later — integration is not needed for Autocharge.
  4. Select the connector type of your car.
  5. Set the battery charge limit.
  6. Name your car and tap Save.

Step 2: Find charge points that support Autocharge

Use the Monta map filters to find charge points with Autocharge support.

  1. Open the Map tab and tap the filter icon.
  2. At the top, select the car with a CCS cable.
  3. Scroll to the bottom and toggle on the Autocharge filter.
  4. Tap an available charge point — those with Autocharge show an Autocharge label.

Step 3: Enable Autocharge

Autocharge is enabled by starting a session on a supported charge point. You must plug in your cable first — if you pay through Monta Charge without plugging in first, the system cannot detect your car's compatibility.

  1. Plug your car cable into the charge point.
    • You will immediately see on screen whether your car supports Autocharge.
  2. Tap Tell me more.
  3. Read how Autocharge works, then tap Activate Autocharge.
  4. Review the confirmation details:
    • Confirm your payment method — only a bank card is accepted.
    • If you have a card saved in your Monta Wallet, it will be suggested.
    • If not, follow the on-screen steps to add a card.
  5. Tap Activate Autocharge.
  6. Autocharge is now enabled for this car.
    • Autocharge is enabled per car. If you have more than one car, enable it separately for each.

Step 4: Charge with Autocharge

  1. Confirm Autocharge is enabled for your car.
  2. Find a charge point with an Autocharge label.
  3. Plug in your car — charging starts automatically.

Step 5: Manage Autocharge

  1. Go to Me and tap your car to open its settings.
  2. Select Autocharge.
  3. You can switch the bank card used for Autocharge payments.
  4. You can temporarily disable Autocharge using the toggle.
    • If you lend your car to someone else, disable Autocharge to prevent the other driver from using your card.
  5. If needed, you can remove Autocharge entirely.
