AC charges the electric car in the evening or during the day in the city (15 sessions of 3 hours each, 4 of 5 hours each).

Anyone who has above-average mileage naturally pays more for the energy they need – this is no different with conventional refueling than with electric mobility. Clear difference: Choosing a suitable charging tariff is particularly important for frequent e-drivers. In our model calculations, the cost between the cheapest and the most expensive provider is around 750 euros/year.
By the way, we decided not to take the coverage figures given by the EMPs into account in the evaluation – our selection only includes providers for which this value is in the high six figures. What is more important is how transparent any price differences are depending on the CPO Additional costs how session or blocking fees are communicated transparently, and how high the risk is of paying more than expected for a loading process.

The Swabian premium brand also differentiates itself The charging tariff the steps S, M and L. However, because S provides for variable costs per CPO, we do not use (which tends to be less precise) modeling. By the way: almost all car manufacturers offer buyers of their brand special conditions for a limited time, such as an exemption from basic fees in the first year. We excluded this from our calculations. meCharge L ranks high in the lantern parking category, but is also a very suitable option for frequent drivers. For average drivers, meCharge M is in the middle of the range, but only with a grade of satisfactory.
BMW/Mini
The Munich premium car manufacturer also offers its own charging tariffs. Since the variable “Flex“Tariff is not suitable for modeling, we have the offer with a basic fee “Active“ considered. It scores high marks for streetlight parkers and frequent drivers, both of whom need high charging volumes. For the average driver profile, the offer lands in the middle range.
Porsche
The sports car manufacturer offers its “Charging Servicewith a basic fee of 7.99 euros/month and the “Charging Service Plus”, which is clearly positioned for frequent travelers, with a high monthly fee of 24.99 euros. It is hardly surprising that this brand’s offering is not aimed specifically at street lamp parkers. But drivers with average mileage also charge more cheaply with other EMPs. The conditions of the brand’s own “Charging Lounges“.
Come on
Kia also has variable charging costs behind the “Easy” tariff. That’s why we only consider the “Advanced” variant with a basic fee. It scores good for streetlight parkers and satisfactory for regular and frequent drivers.
Elli
In the background, Elli is the EMP behind the charging solutions of the Volkswagen Group brands, including VW, Audi, Skoda and Cupra. The provider also acts independently. Its tariff levels are called Free, Plus and Hwy. With them, Elli sits in the middle to the back area of the respective profiles.
