User Reviews

Recharge City offers strong value for on‑the‑go charging with a clean UI, broad station access, reliable performance, and helpful reminders. However, recurring billing and cancellation problems, poor support (often AI-driven), and charger availability issues are frequent pain points. Overall, the app is convenient and well-designed, but significant billing and support concerns repeatedly detract from the experience.
Pros
  • Convenient access to a wide network of charging locations, making it easy to grab a charger on the go (especially in NYC).
  • Clean, intuitive UI with fast performance and easy setup.
  • Responsive customer support that helps quickly.
  • Regular updates that improve performance and add useful features, with a polished user experience.
  • Reminders help you stay on track and the app runs reliably for daily use.
Cons
  • Automatic, recurring charges (often $19.99–$25/month) tied to renting a charger, frequently without clear consent, and with difficulty canceling.
  • In-app cancellation and account-management issues (blocked cancellation, inaccessible account pages).
  • Poor or non-existent customer support, heavy reliance on AI chatbots, and slow/refund-unresolved responses.
  • Perceived deceptive practices and recurring charges after attempting to stop (scam-like sentiment from users).
  • Charger availability issues at stations (often full) and occasional problems exchanging for a charged unit or handling lost chargers.

I purchased this app subscription because I was low on a battery in the city. There were multiple errors. First with the payment method for absolutely no reason. I tried a different card and then it finally worked. Then, the next error message appeared when I scanned the QR code. I could not access the services nor could I successfully rent the charger. I tried MULTIPLE times! I reached out to their support team probably over a dozen times now (which is crazy) and the employee John refused to refund me saying that I “used their services according to their data.” HOW? WHAT DATA??? THE DATA IS CLEARLY INCORRECT. I had to actually take the subway out of the way to purchase a new cord for my friend’s old portable charger she had on her because of this. MIND YOU IT WAS HER FREAKING BIRTHDAY!! THEY TOOK MY MONEY AND I WANT A REFUND!

SCAMMERS!!! Absolutely horrible costumer service and just overall as a company. When I went to purchase a one time use, it only allowed me to pick a subscription. I accidentally clicked okay and now I have a charge of $67 for a subscription I never wanted. Costumer service is rude and refuses to issue me a refund, even after I said I would pay for my usage.
