Compare EV Charging Providers in Europe
The cost of charging an EV in Europe varies by provider by up to 200 %. Home charging is always the cheapest — at a tariff of €0.25–0.35/kWh and consumption of 16 kWh/100 km you pay only €0.04–0.06/km on the motorway. Public rapid charging without subscription (Ionity Direct) can be up to €0.79/kWh, i.e. over €0.12/km.
🏠 Home Charging
The cheapest option. At a tariff of €0.30/kWh and consumption of 16 kWh/100 km you pay only €0.05/km. Ideal to combine with a night tariff for even lower prices.
⚡ Fastned

Frequently Asked Questions about EV Charging
How much does a full charge of an EV cost at home?
Depends on battery capacity and electricity price. At a home tariff of €0.30/kWh and a 70 kWh battery, a full charge costs approximately €21. That covers typically 400–500 km, i.e. approximately €0.04–0.05/km.
Is a home charging station worth it?
With an annual mileage of 15,000 km you save approximately €1,500–€2,500 per year with home charging vs. public DC stations (€0.69/kWh). A wallbox (€500–1,500) pays for itself within 1–2 years.
How long does it take to charge an EV?
Home wallbox (11 kW): a 70 kWh battery charges in 6–7 hours — ideal overnight. Public DC station (50–150 kW): 20–80 % in 30–45 minutes. Ionity/Tesla (250–350 kW): 10–80 % in 15–25 minutes.
What is the difference between AC and DC charging?
AC (alternating current) is slower — typically 7–22 kW. Conversion is done by the car's onboard charger. DC (direct current) is fast — 50–350 kW, energy goes directly to the battery. For daily charging AC is sufficient, on long trips you will appreciate DC stations.
