Charging your EV in Germany — step by step
Open the app and find a charger
Open the easyCharging app to find charging points across Germany — from Autobahn service areas to city-centre and supermarket car parks. Check power, the current price and live availability before you set off.
Park and start your session
Park at the charging bay and plug in. Follow the prompt in the easyCharging app to start the session — or tap your RFID key tag on the reader if mobile signal is weak.

On the Autobahn, fast and ultra-fast DC chargers are ideal for short breaks on long drives. In cities, charging often fits around shopping, meals or overnight stays. You can monitor progress live in the app.
Unplug and continue your journey
Stop charging in the app, unplug and continue your journey. Payment is taken automatically right after the session and you’ll get a receipt instantly — no subscription, no monthly invoices.

Popular EV routes in Germany
From Autobahn long-distance drives to cross-border trips into Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands, these are the routes German EV drivers travel most — and where easyCharging keeps journeys simple and predictable.
Berlin → Munich (A9)
One of Germany’s busiest long-distance routes. easyCharging shows high-power DC chargers at Autobahn hubs along the A9, helping drivers plan reliable stops with live availability.
Hamburg → Frankfurt (A7)
A key north–south corridor along the A7. Ultra-fast charging is available at major service areas, and easyCharging helps you check real-time availability before stopping.
Rhine-Ruhr → Berlin (A2)
Connecting western Germany’s cities to the capital along the A2. easyCharging shows compatible chargers and live status so you can drive with confidence on a busy commercial corridor.
Munich → Salzburg (Austria)
A popular cross-border route into Austria. The same app and card work on both sides of the border — just remember Austria requires a motorway vignette for the road itself.
Frankfurt → Basel (Switzerland)
A frequent route south towards Switzerland. easyCharging supports charging on both sides of the border — note that Switzerland requires a motorway vignette to use its motorways.
Cologne → Amsterdam (Netherlands)
A common cross-border trip into the Netherlands. easyCharging shows compatible chargers along the route, so one app and one card cover the whole journey.
