Anyone who drives an EV knows there is one experience that can turn a calm journey into a full-blown test of patience. Public charging. It can be brilliant when it works and maddening when it does not. New drivers feel it, experienced drivers feel it and if you have ever rolled up to a charger only to find someone already plugged in, you know the feeling too well.
So when one of the UK’s leading online EV voices, Jordan Marsden, better known as The EV Guy, decided to road test the ONEEV charging app, we were curious to see what he would say. Jordan has earned a reputation for honest, no-nonsense reviews and is trusted by tens of thousands of drivers. When he rates something, it matters.
The EV Guy’s First Impression: Brutally Honest
Jordan opened his review with something every EV driver silently agrees with. “Public charging is a PAIN.” Not sometimes. Not occasionally. Often. Between confusing pricing, limited availability and chargers that never quite match what the map promises, the whole experience can be a little too unpredictable.
His point was simple. The UK does not just need more chargers. It needs a charging experience that is easier, clearer and more transparent. According to Jordan, that is exactly what ONEEV delivers.
Finding a Charger Without the Guesswork
Jordan highlighted how ONEEV strips away the frustration. You can search by power, distance and, crucially, availability. No more driving across town to discover the charger is already in use. The app shows which chargers are live, free and ready to go in real time. For anyone who has ever wasted twenty minutes hoping for the best, this feature alone is worth celebrating.
What impressed him further was how simple the process feels. ONEEV shows clear pricing, real-time data and everything you need in one place. Jordan called the experience “transparent”, a word EV drivers do not get to use often enough.
Pay in the App – No More App Juggling
Another thing Jordan emphasised was the ability to pay directly in the app. No jumping between multiple systems. No contactless machines that mysteriously decline at the worst moment. ONEEV keeps everything inside a single interface, making the charging journey almost effortless.
A Lifestyle Layer Designed for Real Drivers
Jordan also pointed out something unique. ONEEV is not just a charging tool. It includes a lifestyle section built around the day-to-day reality of EV owners in the UK. From smarter travel to rewards and EV-friendly places to visit, Jordan described it as “very useful” and a refreshing addition to an EV app.
And Yes – He Filmed the Whole Experience
The best part? Jordan did not just talk about it. He recorded the full journey, demonstrating exactly how the app works. He searched for a charger, navigated to it, plugged in and paid inside the app. No edits, no filters, just a real driver using a real tool in real time. You can watch the full video above.
His closing line said it all: “Check it out for yourself. I am well impressed, as are many others I have introduced this to.”
Coming from The EV Guy, that is a road test worth paying attention to. You can download ONEEV here and experience it for yourself.
