HOW IT WORKS

‍

📱 Bluedot Driver App

• Find Stations and Pay Directly via Bluedot's app - charge up your EV anytime, anywhere.
• Offers EV drivers access to 60% of available charging stations, enabling them to pay for charges directly with the app and avoid the hassle of downloading multiple apps.
• Customers benefit from a flat fee of $0.30 per kilowatt hour of charging with participating EV charging stations and receive a 20% cashback on charges at out-of-network charging stations.
• Bluedot users can also enjoy savings on auto-related expenses as well as many other eligible spending categories, making it a comprehensive solution for EV drivers.

Bluedot's debit card is designed for individual owners and fleet managers, who'll use it for all auto-related purchases, primarily for EV charging.

Users receive 5% cash back on automotive-related expenses and at least 2% cash back for all other expenses, as the card provides access to cash back rewards benefits in many eligible spending categories (grocery, travel, fashion etc.) as well as exclusive partnerships with a number of merchants & retailers.
