Charging questions
The most common questions about prices, time and compatibility.
How much does charging cost?
You only pay for the energy you charge, at the station's rate. You see the current price in the app before every charge.
How long does it take?
It depends on the station type and the battery. AC stations deliver up to 22 kW, and on a DC fast charger the battery reaches 80% in about 20 minutes.
Can my electric car charge here?
Any electric car that can connect with a Type 2 or CCS connector can charge with us.
What is the idle fee?
After a 20-minute grace period with a fully charged car, a fee of €0.51 per minute applies, so the station stays free for other drivers.
How do I know my car is charged?
You'll get a notification from the app, or you'll see the end of the session on the station's screen.
How do I pay?
Quickly and easily in the app, with a built-in balance or a bank card.
