EuroCharge: EV Charging in Telegram

You pull up to a charger with 8 percent left, and the operator wants a fresh app, a signup and a card. EuroCharge offers another route: start your EV charging straight from a Telegram chat ⚡

The bot appears as Greenway Charging PL, calls itself EuroCharge inside and targets Poland and other European countries. The user base is still small, around six hundred people.

What it looks like for a driver

The scheme in the bot's description is short. Three steps, no separate app:

1. Plug the cable into your electric vehicle.
2. Send the bot a photo of the station and the connector number.
3. Start charging: according to the description, with no limit on kWh or session time.

You top up the balance in the chat and the remaining amount shows there too. Questions go to an operator in the same bot.

Commands worth knowing

• /topup. Add money to your balance.
• /price. The service's rates.
• /balance. Your current balance.
• /instruction. How to use the bot.
• /language. Change the interface language.
• /help. Reach support.

Free or not?

Some catalogs present this app as a finder of free chargers. The bot's own description, though, talks about a balance and prices, not a map of free stations. Before your first session open /price and check the cost per session or per kWh.

"Unlimited kWh" should be read together with the tariff: no cap on volume does not mean you pay nothing.

Check this before you pay

A payment in the chat goes to a specific service, not directly to the charging network operator. So a few habits make sense 🔍

• Top up the minimum. Make the first payment small and confirm that charging actually starts.
• Keep photos and receipts. They help if there is a dispute.
• Find out who runs it. Ask support directly about the company and about refunding any leftover balance.
• Have a fallback. Keep the station operator's official app or card within reach.

Charging in Poland: good to know

The country's fast-charging network keeps growing, and payment differs between operators: some want a card, some a separate app, some a fob. Before a long trip, find out in advance what you can pay with along your route.

Plan stops with a charge margin, especially in winter: charging gets slower in the cold. And pick stations where a different payment method can back you up 🚗

When charging will not start

There are usually three causes: the cable did not click in, the connector number is wrong, or the station is occupied and waiting on another user. Check the physical connection first, then resend a photo with the label clearly visible.

If that fails, write to /help and attach the station photo. On the road it is better to have a second way to pay than to rely on a single one.
