There are numerous providers, charging cards, and apps required to access the same charging point – often at significantly different prices. Some apps even display charging points from other operators but do not allow users to start a charging session through them.In the new version of its app, Allego has now integrated competitors’ charging networks alongside its own charging points, enabling users to charge at those locations using their Allego account. “With the Allego app, EV owners no longer have to use different charging apps depending on the operator and can efficiently plan their charging stops—even on long-distance trips—using the app’s Smart Route Planner. Another advantage: Allego does not charge any additional fees for using third-party providers. This means the Allego app offers complete price transparency,” the company states. one million charging points across Europe will be available.However: A spot check by electrive in the new app revealed that prices are not uniform; rather, Allego apparently passes on B2B prices to its own customers—but without markups, meaning, as announced, without additional fees. At EnBW charging points, a charging price of €0.79/kWh was displayed without a subscription; at Aral Pulse, it was €0.96/kWh.Allego structures its pricing at its own charging points across three power levels: ‘Ultra-fast’ charging in Germany currently costs €0.76/kWh, while fast chargers with lower power are priced at €0.655/kWh, and AC chargers at €0.60/kWh. Prices may vary in other countries, and these can be viewed on the Allego website. These rates are expected to apply at third-party charging points as well. However, there is one exception: “To make the app more accessible, Allego is automatically offering users a 9% discount at all Allego fast-charging stations in Germany,” the company explains. This reduces the price from €0.76/kWh to €0.69/kWh.With the paid ‘Allego Plus’ subscription, priced at €9.99 per month, users receive a 36 per cent discount, reducing the cost to €0.49/kWh. According to Allego, the Plus subscription pays for itself after just 370 kilometres per month, based on an average consumption of 18 kWh/100 km.The operator provides a calculation example: For a trip from Hamburg to Munich, charging at €0.76/kWh would cost €102.60 in electricity. With the app’s discounted price of €0.69/kWh, the cost would be €93.15, saving €9.45. With the subscription and a rate of €0.49/kWh, the electricity cost drops to €66.15, resulting in total savings of €36.45 for a long-distance journey.According to its own figures, Allego currently operates 525 ultra-fast charging locations in Germany, comprising 2,355 charging points. By 2026, the company plans to add another 100 charging stations.“Until now, drivers have had to use multiple charging apps to charge flexibly anywhere. By consolidating all networks into a single interface within the Allego App, we simplify the charging process, making it as easy as refuelling a conventional vehicle—with transparent pricing and instant savings,” said Christian Zeh, Chief Operating Officer at Allego.Source: Information via email (announcement), allego.eu (pricing overview)
