Which charging network is best?
The right network depends on your driving profile. For long-distance drivers, Ionity with 350 kW on motorways is often the top choice – but expensive without a subscription. Tesla Superchargers are unmatched for Tesla owners and also open to other brands. EnBW mobility+ offers the largest network in Germany and suits everyday use. For city drivers and occasional chargers, Allego and Shell Recharge offer competitive AC rates.
For the best price, compare charge cards: providers like ADAC, Maingau or network-own subscriptions can halve the per-kWh cost. Read our guide on fast vs. slow charging.
