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.

Rented a charger for 25 mins for a rate of $10/hr, checked my bank to find they had taken $20. Support was no help and ghosted me after a single reply. Do not rent from these scammers.

I scanned the QR code on one of the machines and put in my phone number and the app charged the card I had on my phone for the premium $65 subscription without my consent. I keep going back and forth with a chat bot to get a refund. Don’t get this app just buy a portable charger honestly.
