The surging number of EV owners suggests that automakers should produce more units in the next few years to keep up with the demand.
With this, even the charging stations should amp their service to attract more customers in the long run.
Bluedot, a fintech firm which rolls out nice perks for EV owners, has another interesting reward for debit card users. Tons of cash backs are waiting for everyone along with a cheaper fee for charging their electric vehicles.
Bluedot Offers Low-Cost EV Charging Fee
According to a report by TechCrunch, Bluedot founders decided to give EV owners some rewards when they opt for EV charging services.
The banking platform says that through its debit card, customers can enjoy $0.30 per kilowatt hour of charging to all EV charging stations included in its promo.
Aside from that, there are a lot of cash backs that are waiting for EV owners. You can receive 20% cash back if you use the service with "nonparticipating" charging partners.
What's best with this is that you won't need to download several apps on your Android phone or iPhone just to pay for the charges. The only thing you need to install is the Bluedot's app for direct payment.
Apart from these perks, you can also snag a 2% cash back for miscellaneous expenses. Meanwhile, there's another 5% cash back that applies to your automotive expenses on the platform.
Outside EV charging, Bluedot also offers rewards if you go to the neighboring dining and shopping spots. For instance, you can get a 15% cash back if you purchase some stuff at Whole Foods. That does not end here since you can get an extra 10% cash back if you buy a coffee at a Starbucks branch.

More Accessibility to its EV Charging Stations
The startup says that around 60% across the United States already partnered with it. The company adds that it wants to collaborate with smaller stores to help them seek more buyers who might be interested in their app platform, CSA reported last week.
According to Bluedot's chief operating officer Filiz Parlak, the company aims to "increase visibility and accessibility for drivers," as well as enhance "utilization rates" for the service, and improve the current payment methods.
"Bluedot is working on integrating financial technology to help these companies make their charging stations more viable and accessible to drivers," Parlak told TechCrunch.
The Bluedot co-founder adds that the startup plans to target fleets and bring a better set of deals for their charging expenses.
The company also allows the customers to see more auto-related data for their charging services. As such, they could check where they usually go for EV charging, power usage, time spent in a charging station, and more.
