What does a full charge cost?
The maths is simple: energy taken in kWh multiplied by the station tariff. For a 60 kWh battery, charging from 20% to 80% takes roughly 36 kWh.
At a DC station priced at €0.45 per kWh, that session costs about €16. On an AC charger overnight at €0.19 per kWh, the same energy costs about €7.
Why is AC charging cheaper?
DC charging needs a far heavier grid connection and more complex hardware, so the tariff is higher. AC charging up to 22 kW is cheaper but slower — it is the right choice whenever the car sits parked for a few hours.
The cheapest pattern is simple: AC while you sleep or work, DC only when you are on the road and need energy fast.
When is a monthly package worth it?
ECHARGE offers three monthly packages with included energy at a better rate:
- Basic — €29.99 per month, 100 kW included
- Active — €59.99 per month, 200 kW included
- Pro — €99.99 per month, 350 kW included
How do you pay?
Everything runs through the ECHARGE app, by card. The app shows the station tariff before you start, the energy delivered live during the session, and the receipt once you unplug — no physical cards, no payment at the station.
