Indicative averages, reference month augustus 2026, based on our periodic sampling of the largest operators' public tariffs.
Practical: charging without surprises
- Any major European charge card works at virtually every public charger; at new fast chargers (≥50 kW) contactless bank-card payment is increasingly standard (EU AFIR rules).
- Check the status colours here plus the live tariff in your card app before you drive to a charger.
- For long trips, plan stops at ultra-fast locations with the route planner and charge from 10 to 80%, above 80% every EV slows down considerably.
- Cold batteries charge slowly: precondition by setting the charger as your navigation destination.
- Prefer large charging plazas (8+ points): virtually no queues and more stable power.
