Owning an electric vehicle (EV) involves various costs, especially related to charging. This article explains the two main types of charging-related costs:
Costs of an E-Flux by Road charge card
Costs per charging session (set by individual charge point operators)
Costs of an E-Flux by Road charge card
E-Flux by Road offers two charge card options, each with its own pricing structure.

No monthly subscription
Pay per session instead:
€0.31 per charging session (starting fee)
€0.024 per kWh surcharge at non-E-Flux charge stations

Costs per charging session
Each charge point operator (CPO) sets their own pricing. These costs are passed directly to you through your E-Flux by Road invoice, without any markups.
Common pricing elements you may encounter:
Rate per kWh – The cost for the electricity used
Rate per hour – Additional costs based on how long your car is connected
Starting fee – A fixed cost applied at the start of the session
Example:
If a station charges:
€0.45 per kWh
€0.05 per minute
€0.50 starting fee
And you charge for 40 minutes and use 10 kWh, the session cost would be:
(10 × €0.45) + (40 × €0.05) + €0.50 = €4.50 + €2.00 + €0.50 = €7.00 (plus VAT)
Note: E-Flux by Road does not influence or modify these charging session prices.
