Pay by bank card on Lidl's web page, with no app or account. Tap Webpay, then "Tap here to pay" on Lidl's page, and enter the charger ID shown on the charger. Lidl holds a pre-authorisation on your card and releases it after the charge. Lidl says selected chargers also take contactless debit cards (Visa or Mastercard).
EvEcho shows live availability at Lidl and every other network near you, and tells you the moment a bay opens up — so you know the cost before you set off and the charger is there when you arrive.
