Chargeprice

What is the Chargeprice App?

Chargeprice is a tool for calculating the time and cost of recharging your electric vehicle at public charging stations, based on the recharging offers available. 

Chargeprice will enable you to compare the different charging prices for a specific session and choose the one that suits you best, based on the different mobility operators. 

Please note that Chargeprice is for information purposes only. We are in no way the managers of the charging stations, or in charge of the mobility operators’ tariffs. We provide you with all available public information to enable you to anticipate the cost of your recharge. 

We accept no responsibility for any invoicing that differs from the advertised price, should the mobility operator make a billing error. However, we can assist you with the mobility operator via our “User feedback” option.

Glossary of EV charging mobility

The electric vehicle charging market has many acronyms. Chargeprice helps you understand them

EV: Electric vehicle (BEV, PHEV, Motorcycle, etc.)

CPO: Charging infrastructure operator, in charge of a network of charging stations

EMP: eMobility Operator, in charge of offering charging services on one or more charging station networks

Interoperability: the ability of charging stations to be accessed by all mobility operators.

Station: location grouping together one or more charging stations. 

Charging station: unit grouping several charging outlets

Connector: unitary recharging socket, e.g. type 2, CCS, Chademo

Power: recharge capacity delivered by a charging point, expressed in kWh and ranging from 3 kW to 350 kW

Charging card: physical or digital badge used to activate recharging at the charging station

Charging offer: subscription taken out with a mobility operator to access a recharging service.

Charging time: time required to recharge an EV’s battery for a given percentage of battery capacity (e.g. recharging to 80% of the EV’s battery capacity).

Charging curve: speed at which an EV battery is recharged as a function of the capacity delivered by the charging socket and the battery’s current state of charge. The charge curve is a decreasing function as the battery is increasingly recharged. 

Charging price: refers to the cost that electric vehicle (EV) owners must pay to charge their vehicles at public or private charging stations. It can vary based on several factors, including electricity rates, charging speed, location, network provider, and subscription plans. Charging prices are typically calculated per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity consumed, per charging session, or based on time spent at the station. Some networks offer flat rates, while others use dynamic pricing models influenced by demand and energy availability.

Price components: kWh, Min, session, the price of a recharge can be made up of one or more of these components.

Parking charge: additional charge invoiced after recharging for occupying the recharging space.
