This is how our rate works
The charging rate has two distinct components:
- Rate per kWh: You pay for the electricity you charge.
Peak rate: Between 16:00 and 22:00 we charge a higher rate. In this way, together we relieve the power grid at the busiest times and keep charging affordable for everyone.
- Connection rate per hour: You pay for the time you are connected. That’s how we keep charging spots available for everyone.
Note: Do you charge with a charge card? Your provider may charge extra fees, such as a starting rate or a surcharge per kWh. So always check the terms and conditions of your own charge card provider.

Why does the amount on my bill differ?
The rate you see at an Opcharge charging station is what we charge for the power and the spot. Do you charge with a charge card? Then your own provider determines the final price. This is because some providers add their own costs, such as a starting rate, a small surcharge per kWh or monthly subscription fees. As a result, the total amount on your bill may be higher than our base rate.
Our tip for worry-free charging: Check the terms and conditions of your charge card in advance. That way you’ll know exactly what agreements you have with your provider and you’ll always charge at the most competitive price.
Why a connection fee?
At Opcharge, we believe in social charging stations. By charging a small fee per hour, together we ensure that charging stations do not remain unnecessarily occupied after a car is fully charged. This way there is always a free spot for the next driver. Very social, very carefree.
Why can the charging rate be higher than it says on your website?
Some charge card or charge app providers charge an additional fee on top of our rate. As a result, the final amount may be higher than the base rate we communicate. We have researched which charge cards are the most economical at Opcharge charging stations. View the results on our load passes advisory page.
