Charging around Europe in an Electric Vehicle

Finding and using electric vehicle charge points around mainland Europe

A road trip into Europe can be a pleasure compared with driving at home, not least because of the quieter and pothole-free roads.  But if you’re thinking about a European trip in an electric car, you’ll need to do a bit more planning:

Are there suitable charge points within range on your route? and

Do you have the means to pay for charging?

Like the UK there are different companies providing chargers – but the market is much more fragmented and there is a bewildering number of providers.

In most cases, you need to log-in using a network RFID card, a key-fob or an App, some of which need to be pre-loaded with funds.  Chargers that accept a contactless debit or credit card are few and far between.
