How Wevolt works: charger operators, the app, and where to get help

This guide explains how the Wevolt Network works, who runs the chargers you use, and where to go when something needs attention. Read this once and you'll know exactly who to contact for any issue — fast.

Two parties make charging happen

The Wevolt Network is a marketplace. Wevolt provides the app, the network, and the payment system. The chargers themselves are owned and run by independent charger operators — businesses, councils, property owners, or workplaces — who choose to list their chargers in the Wevolt App.

The charger operatorWevolt
Owns and maintains the charger hardware. Sets the price. Handles physical and on-site issues — faulty equipment, stuck cables, site access, parking.Runs the app and network. Processes payments. Handles app and account issues — sessions that won't start due to a software issue, payment errors, login problems.

This is why your problem might be best answered by one of two different people. The good news: the app tells you exactly which one, every time.

The Help button — your fast track to the right person

Every charging station screen in the Wevolt App has a Help button at the top, next to More Info and Direction. Tap it and you'll see two clear options:

  • Need assistance with charging? — the operator's name, phone, and email for that specific station. Use this for anything happening at the charger.
  • Need assistance with the Wevolt app or a past charging session? — goes to the Wevolt Support team. Use this for anything happening in the app or with your payment.

✓ Why this matters

The charger operator is physically closest to the charger and has the keys, access codes, and equipment knowledge. For hardware or site issues, they can usually help you in minutes. Going through Wevolt for the same issue takes much longer because we then have to relay the same information to the operator.

When to contact the charger operator

Tap Help on the station screen and use the operator contact for:

  • The charger is faulty, frozen, or showing an error code on its screen.
  • The QR code on the charger will not scan or is not recognised by the app.
  • The charging cable is stuck in the charger or your car.
  • You can't find the charger, can't get into the car park, or the bay is blocked.
  • An ICE vehicle is parked in the charging bay.
  • The site is closed when the app says it's open.
  • Anything physical at the location.

When to contact Wevolt

Tap Help on the station screen and use the Wevolt Support option, or email contact@wevolt.com.au for:

  • You can't start a session and there's no charger fault — the app shows an error.
  • A past session was charged incorrectly or twice.
  • The $25 pre-authorisation hold hasn't been released.
  • You didn't receive a sign-in verification code.
  • You're stuck on a Wevolt App screen.
  • Account, login, or payment-method questions.

Why we work this way

Wevolt is a network operator, not a charger owner. We connect drivers to chargers, list prices, and handle payments — while the businesses and people who installed each charger continue to own and run them. This keeps the network growing fast (any operator can list a charger) and keeps your costs low (operators set competitive prices). It also means that for charger-side issues, the person closest to the hardware is just a tap away.

Still need help?

If you're not sure which option applies, use the Help button anyway — the routing will be clear on screen. For anything app-related, email us directly.
