Electra has expanded its app into a Europe-wide roaming platform, giving users access to around 800,000 public charging points across the continent.
In addition to Electra’s own fast-charging hubs and ChargeLeague partner networks, the app now supports charging infrastructure from several third-party operators. Charging prices, however, vary depending on the provider.
The company first expanded its network in December 2025 by adding ChargeLeague partners Ionity, Fastned and Atlante. Following a tariff update in May, the Electra+ Smart subscription is available for €4.99 per month, offering charging at Electra’s own fast chargers from €0.34/kWh. The Electra+ Essential plan costs €1.99 per month and starts at €0.44/kWh, while discounted rates at ChargeLeague partner networks remain exclusive to Smart subscribers. Standard charging prices remain unchanged at €0.54/kWh through the app and €0.69/kWh for ad-hoc credit card payments.
As part of its expansion, Electra is evolving into an eMobility Service Provider (eMSP). Users can now locate, navigate to and activate charging sessions across hundreds of thousands of public chargers through a single app. Pricing for third-party networks is displayed before each charging session, with no hidden fees. Current rates shown in the app include €0.71/kWh for Mer, €0.79/kWh for Shell and EnBW, €0.84/kWh for EWE Go and €0.96/kWh for Aral.
Electra has also introduced its own RFID charging card, available free for subscribers or for a one-time fee of €4.99 for non-subscribers. In addition, the company is rolling out Autocharge across its fast-charging network, allowing compatible EVs to begin charging automatically after a one-time activation in the app.
The updated app also includes an intelligent recommendation engine that evaluates charging stations based on charging speed, real-time availability, technical reliability, location and price. It can recommend alternative chargers, prioritise user preferences and integrate charging stops directly into route planning.
Electra will officially open its largest urban fast-charging hub in Germany on July 1 at Herschelstraße 9, Hanover. The site features 14 charging points across 7 charging stations, each delivering up to 400 kW. The company currently operates nearly 700 charging hubs with around 4,000 charging points across 10 countries and aims to expand to 15,000 fast-charging points by 2030.
