Electric vehicle owners will soon have to set up an account in order to use Manx Utilities public charging facilities.
MU will shortly be replacing the existing Pod-Point units with Evolt Charging.
Drivers will then be required to set up an account at www.evoltnetwork.co.uk.
During registration drivers can order an RFID card, which will enable a tap to start a charge and tap to stop a charge.
Other payment methods are via the App or by using Web-pay, details can be found here.
