Tesla Supercharging Prices in Europe: Our 483-Location Database Reveals Where It's Cheapest (and Where It's No

How We Built the Data

We track Supercharger pricing for Tesla members (the rate you pay if you own a Tesla or have a membership subscription) across 483 locations in Europe. Prices are converted to EUR/kWh for comparability. We only include countries where we have 3 or more sites in our database to avoid single-point outliers. The full, sortable list lives on our cheapest Supercharger map, and you can explore all locations on our Supercharger database page.

This is raw, real-world pricing — not promotional rates, not "free charging" offers. It's what you actually pay when you plug in on a road trip.

The Big Picture: Country Averages

The cheapest country to Supercharge in Europe is Norway, at an average of €0.228/kWh. France follows closely at €0.281/kWh, then Denmark at €0.303/kWh. At the other end, the United Kingdom averages €0.576/kWh, with Switzerland at €0.470/kWh and Italy at €0.436/kWh.

Germany — the country with the most Superchargers in our database (133 sites) — sits at €0.432/kWh, right in the middle of the pack. That's roughly 90% more expensive than Norway.

Here's the full table of country averages:

The Cheapest Individual Sites: France and Norway Dominate

Look at the top 10 cheapest Supercharger locations in our database, and a clear pattern emerges: France owns the list. Seven of the ten cheapest sites are in France, with the remaining three in Norway.

The absolute cheapest is Cherbourg, France at €0.180/kWh. That's less than half the German average. Close behind is Oslo – Sentrum P-hus, Norway at €0.183/kWh, then Verniolle, France at €0.200/kWh.

What do these locations have in common? They're in regions with relatively low electricity costs — France benefits from its nuclear-heavy grid, and Norway from its hydroelectric dominance. Tesla passes those savings on to drivers.

The Most Expensive: UK Sites Hit €0.84/kWh

The most expensive five Supercharger locations in our database are all in the United Kingdom, specifically at "EV OTM" (off-trade-mark) sites — likely third-party locations where Tesla has partnered with existing charge point operators. The worst: Knowsley Earlsfield in Liverpool at €0.842/kWh.

That's 4.7 times more expensive than Cherbourg. For a 60 kWh charge (roughly a Model 3 Long Range from 10% to 80%), you'd pay €50.50 in Liverpool versus €10.80 in Cherbourg. Same battery, same charging speed, wildly different cost.

It's worth noting that the UK average of €0.576/kWh is pulled up by these extreme outliers — some UK sites are as low as €0.421/kWh. But even the cheapest UK site is more expensive than the average in 10 of the 13 countries we track.

What This Means for Your Road Trip Budget

Let's put this in practical terms. Say you're driving a Tesla Model 3 Long Range from Prague to the French Atlantic coast — roughly 1,500 km. Using Bjørn Nyland's real-world consumption data (about 180 Wh/km in mixed conditions), you'd need roughly 270 kWh for the trip.

• If you charge exclusively in Germany (€0.432/kWh average): €116.64
• If you charge in France (€0.281/kWh average): €75.87
• If you could charge at Cherbourg rates (€0.180/kWh): €48.60

That's a €68 difference between the German and Cherbourg scenarios — enough for a nice dinner for the family. Use our charging cost calculator to run your own route.

Why the Gap Matters for EV Adoption

These price differences aren't just trivia — they affect the total cost of ownership equation. In Norway, where Supercharging is cheap and home electricity is even cheaper, the running cost advantage over petrol is enormous. In the UK, where Supercharger rates can hit €0.84/kWh, the gap narrows significantly — especially if you can't charge at home.

For European buyers comparing EVs, it's worth checking not just the car's efficiency (WLTP vs real-world range in Bjørn Nyland's tests), but also the local charging rates. A Model 3 might cost €10/100 km to Supercharge in France, but €20/100 km in the UK. Compare that to a diesel at €1.60/litre and 6 l/100 km — that's €9.60/100 km. Suddenly the UK Supercharger is more expensive than diesel.

Practical Takeaways

• Plan your route around cheap countries: If you're driving through France to Spain, charge in France. The Spanish average (€0.368/kWh) is 31% higher than France's.
• Avoid UK "EV OTM" sites: The standard Tesla-branded Superchargers in the UK are cheaper (around €0.42–0.50/kWh). The expensive ones are third-party partnerships.
• Norway is the cheapest, but limited: Only 6 sites in our database — Norway's EV adoption is high, but the Supercharger network is less dense than the home charging culture.
• Check our database before you go: Our cheapest Supercharger map is updated regularly. Bookmark it for road trip planning.
