Rebranded from Mercedes me Charge to MB.CHARGE Public; operated by Digital Charging Solutions GmbH. No start fee of its own in the Dutch price list. 'Flexible prices' differ per operator and can change; some charge points add start fees, blocking fees or other time-based fees. The current price including extra fees is shown for the selected charge point in the app or on the website before you start. All prices include VAT. Billing per kWh, per started minute or per session; free charge points stay free. First card price not stated; replacement card €7.38.
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.
Cannot be worked out up front: this card charges its own price per charger, shown in the app.
