The Porsche Charging Service

The price of public charging can vary significantly, depending on charge point operator, time of day and current demand. With the Porsche Charging Service, you can enjoy easy access to over 900,000 chargers across Europe, with consistent pricing across hundreds of different charge point operators.

The Porsche Charging Service (Plus) provides an extensive network with more than 900,000 charging points across Europe and offers a simplified pricing model. This means that AC and DC charging prices are set at a national level across all affiliated charging points. As a Porsche Charging Service customer, you won’t be affected by price changes based on peak times or different charge point operators.

Once that expires, you can choose between two subscription models, with an easy-to-manage, monthly rolling subscription:

Porsche Charging Service (ideal for occasional public charging) Porsche Charging Service Plus (ideal for regular public charging and roadtrips)
