How to find the most affordable charging stations near you?
It’s a question many electric car drivers are wondering about, especially with rising energy costs. With the Chargemap app, you can locate nearby charging points offering the best rates. Here’s how it works👇
Filter charging stations by pricing
Show only charging points that charge per kWh
To avoid complex and sometimes confusing pricing, we recommend selecting stations with per kWh rates (session fees may apply), which we consider the fairest option for you.
Set a maximum price per kWh
You can set a maximum per kWh rate to show only the charging points within your budget. This filter helps you avoid stations that are too expensive!
Find charging stations offering discounts
You can also use the “Stations on special offer” filter in the app to charge at reduced rates on partner networks compatible with the electric charging card Chargemap Pass. Check the app for the latest offers!
With Chargemap, you have everything you need to seamlessly optimise your electric charging costs.
Why do charging prices vary so much from one station to another?
The cost of a charging session depends on several factors:
- The charging network
- The station’s power rating,
- The type of pricing (per kWh, per minute, or mixed)
- The location (in town, on the motorway, at a shopping centre, etc.)
- Additional fees (roaming charges, operator commission, etc.)
- The payment method (multi-network card, bank card, app, etc.)
It is therefore “normal” for the same vehicle model to cost two to three times more to charge depending on the station used. The challenge is to identify the most affordable charging stations without compromising reliability or convenience.
