The Porsche Charging Service
Depending on the charge point operator, you might notice price differences when charging your EV (charge point providers vary according by region). Most charging point operators charge different prices for AC and DC charging stations. Additionally, some public charging stations apply dynamic pricing, meaning the cost per kilowatt rises during peak hours when demand is high.
The Porsche Charging Service (Plus) provides an extensive network with more than 750,000 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.
