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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A live price, every time

Free card, offline backup

A free RFID key tag means you can still start a charge in an underground car park or anywhere mobile signal drops.

No subscription

Pay only when you charge. No monthly fee, no commitment — ideal whether you charge daily or only now and then.

Questions about EV charging and driving in Germany?

Answers to the most common questions about charging, payments, the Autobahn and driving an electric car in Germany.

Charging

Yes. easyCharging shows charging points in cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne and Stuttgart, and at high-power hubs along the major Autobahn corridors including the A1, A2, A7 and A9.

Germany offers slow, fast and ultra-fast chargers. Many Autobahn hubs provide high-power DC charging of 300 kW or more. Actual speed depends on your vehicle and battery state.

No. easyCharging has no subscription. You pay only for the charging sessions you actually use — in Germany and across Europe.

No. That’s the main reason drivers use easyCharging in Germany — one app and one RFID card work across networks, so you don’t need a separate app and account for every operator.

Payment is taken automatically right after each charging session, and you receive a receipt in the app. There are no monthly invoices.

Yes. Tap the free easyCharging RFID key tag on the charger’s reader to start a session without the app — useful in underground car parks and areas with weak signal.

easyCharging supports all major EV brands and the connector types used in Germany — CCS for DC fast charging and Type 2 for AC charging.

Yes. easyCharging shows live charger status, the current price, connector types and power output, so you can plan before arriving.

Travel & legal

No. Passenger cars — including electric cars — do not pay tolls on the German Autobahn. Note that if you drive across the border into Austria or Switzerland, those countries require a motorway vignette.

Many German cities have an Umweltzone (low-emission zone) that requires a green Umweltplakette (emissions sticker) to enter. Electric vehicles qualify for the green sticker.

Some German cities grant electric cars with an E-Kennzeichen local benefits such as free or reduced parking, or use of certain bus lanes. Exact privileges vary by city.

Yes. One easyCharging app and card work across borders, so you can charge in Germany and on trips into neighbouring countries without a second app. Remember that Austria and Switzerland require a motorway vignette for the road.

Many Autobahn hubs offer high-power DC charging of 300 kW or more, ideal for short breaks on long drives. The speed you actually reach depends on your vehicle and battery state.

Yes. German-language phone support is available from 06:00 to 22:00 CET, and English-language support is available 24/7.

No. One easyCharging account works in Germany — there’s no need for a German-specific charging app, and you pay with the card you already use.

German public chargers use Type 2 for AC charging and CCS for DC fast charging — the standard across the European Union.
