Popular EV routes across Austria — and on to Italy
From the German border to Vienna, and over the Alps towards Italy, these are the routes UK EV drivers travel most when driving in Austria — and where easyCharging helps keep journeys simple and predictable.
Germany → Austria via Salzburg (A8 / A1)
The main entry for drivers who have crossed Germany on the A8 from Munich. easyCharging shows fast DC chargers around Salzburg and along the A1 towards the Salzkammergut lakes, so the first charging stop after the border is planned before you reach it.
Salzburg → Linz → Vienna (A1)
Austria’s east–west spine, the West Autobahn. Reliable fast charging is available at the large service areas along the A1, with live availability shown in the app all the way into Vienna.
Germany → Innsbruck via Kufstein (A93 / A12)
The gateway to Tyrol for drivers coming from Munich. easyCharging helps you check real-time availability in the Inn valley before the ski resorts, and shows the fast chargers around Innsbruck before the climb to the Brenner.
Innsbruck → Brenner → Italy (A13)
The classic Alpine crossing into Italy, over the Europabrücke. The Brenner motorway carries its own toll on top of the vignette, so easyCharging shows charging points before and after the pass, letting you charge comfortably either side of the border.
Vienna → Graz → Klagenfurt (A2)
The Süd Autobahn, linking the capital with Styria and Carinthia over the Semmering and the Pack. easyCharging shows fast chargers along the A2 and around Graz, with the Slovenian and Italian borders within reach beyond Klagenfurt.
Salzburg → Tauern → Villach (A10)
The route south through the Tauern and Katschberg tunnels — both special-toll sections — towards Villach, Italy and Slovenia. easyCharging supports cross-border planning, showing compatible stations on both sides of the Tarvisio and Karawanken crossings.
