UTA Edenred, the European mobility service provider is soon to provide an automatic mileage recording (odometer) capability when charging vehicles via its UTA eCharge electric charging service.

The new capability will be available to UTA eCharge users in the coming weeks.

With each charging process in the UTA eCharge network, the current mileage of the vehicle at the time of charging is automatically recorded and displayed on the next invoice. No manual entry is required. To use the mileage recording, the vehicle must be linked to the UTA eCharge app once. The charging processes can then be carried out via the app or with a UTA eCard.

The service allows fleet managers to track the mileage of their vehicles at all times; and to record charging cycles and mileage to help monitor the service life of the battery and assess the residual value of the vehicle.

As a first step, the automatic mileage recording capability will be available for Volkswagen vehicles, with other brands to be added over the coming months.
