According to its Ford page, Octopus Electroverse adds no markup, recurring fees or transaction fees on top of the charge point operator's price. ford.nl only lists IONITY prices (€0.78/kWh without subscription, €0.47/kWh with IONITY Premium at €11.99 per month); no VAT basis is given. Other prices are shown per charge point in the app.

* Amount as the provider publishes it; the provider does not say whether it includes VAT.

Worked example

Extra cost per month on top of the charge point’s price at 100 kWh in 8 sessions at public chargers of €0.44 per kWh.

Good to know: Since the move to Octopus Electroverse the old BlueOval cards and key fobs no longer work; an Electrocard (RFID) is free. Sources disagree on Plug&Charge: ford.nl says it is available for all Ford EVs, the Electroverse page for Ford says it will not be available in the near future.
