electricfelix: live Ionity pricing updates
Welcome to electricfelix! Here you will find advice on traveling around Europe with an electric vehicle. Take a look at the electricfelix travel guides, they will help you find the best chargers and lowest pricing available in the EU.
I published a long read about Ionity and fast charging in Europe to share all that I learned during 50.000km+ of EV kilometers when life was still cheap! The blog will shine some light on tactics to handle the new pricing model by Ionity.
You can also read my response (obviously outdated now, in August 2020) after Ionity announced the kWh based pricing model back in January, 2020.
Ionity pricing overview
(last updated: Tue 28/6/’22 08:00 CET) [changes: Old uninteresting prices deleted, only keeping “affordable” options listed]
[I will update this page soon, for now check out my latest June 2022 summer update with a pretty good “heavy traveler deal” for everybody!]
I also heard rumours about EWE Go, in their app Ionity is not to be found. The charging card could be your cheapest option, but I don’t see any options ordering the card outside of Germany. Update: the card works at Ionity. €0,49/kWh.
Since there is more to life than Ionity, I published an overview of cheap fast charging.
Cheap first!
Bonnet charges a “PAYG” (Pay as you go) rate for about €0,41/kWh. (Not valid everywhere in Europe).
EWE Go charges €0,49/kWh (you have to use the card, can only be delivered in DE).
Only in France!
Iberdrola charges €0,30/kWh at the 50kW triple chargers, interesting with new ZOE, i3, MINI, electric motorbikes by Energica and so on! Source.
Maingau charges €0,75/kWh. Source.
Chargemap charges €0,86/kWh. Source.
Chargepoint.com charges around €0,77/kWh.
JuicePass charges €0,79/kWh. Source. Even though they sell monthly kWh-packs I’ve had some feedback of it not functioning so I’m not recommending this.
Freshmile charges €0,19/kWh + €0,71/min. Source.
InCharge (Vattenfall) charges €0,79/kWh. Source.
NEXTCHARGE charges €0,69/kWh + €0,12/min. Source.
Plugsurfing charges €1,09/kWh. Source.
NewMotion (Shell Recharge) charges €0,79/kWh in France. (€0,70/kWh in UK, - €0,78/kWh in Germany).
Reading (&video) material
My long read about 50.000 kilometers EV driving with many Ionity stops in between..
Interesting video by Car Maniac at Ionity HQ last year.
Last year I wrote about the importance of infrastructure when driving an EV.
