Your rights
What the rules guarantee you
The EU AFIR regulation and the Dutch alternative fuels infrastructure decree set how you must be able to pay and what price information you get.
Charging without a contract must be possible everywhere (AFIR Art. 5(1))Applies from April 13, 2024AFIR art. 2AFIR art. 5(1) eerste alineaAFIR art. 26
Operators must offer ad hoc charging at every publicly accessible charging point. Under AFIR Art. 2, ad hoc means without registering, without a written agreement and without a commercial relationship beyond buying the charging session. According to the European Commission (Q&A 5.9), an operator or mobility service provider app that requires an account therefore does not count as an ad hoc payment option. Cash-only payment is not sufficient either (Q&A 5.7). Does not apply to charging points where charging is free.
Verordening (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), EUR-LexEuropese Commissie, Q&A over AFIR (EU) 2023/1804
New chargers: pay with a widely used payment card (AFIR Art. 5(1))Applies from April 13, 2024AFIR art. 5(1) tweede tot en met vijfde alinea
At publicly accessible charging points deployed from 13 April 2024, ad hoc charging must be possible with a payment instrument widely used in the EU. The operator must offer at least one of: (a) a payment card reader, (b) a contactless device that can at least read payment cards, or (c) only for points below 50 kW: a secure online payment option, for example via a QR code. The Commission confirms that a static QR code (sticker) can comply if the payment is secure (Q&A 5.10), and that a contactless reader may accept payment cards in a mobile wallet (Q&A 5.9). One terminal may serve several points in a charging pool.
Verordening (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), EUR-LexEuropese Commissie, Q&A over AFIR (EU) 2023/1804
Fast chargers on the TEN-T network: card reader or contactless required from 2027 (AFIR Art. 5(1))Applies from January 1, 2027AFIR art. 5(1) derde alinea
From 1 January 2027, all publicly accessible charging points of 50 kW or more along the TEN-T road network or in a safe and secure parking area must have a payment card reader or contactless reader (option a or b), including points deployed before 13 April 2024. A QR code alone is then no longer sufficient for these points. This retrofit duty does not apply to existing points outside the TEN-T network or to points below 50 kW.
Right to opt out of automatic authentication (AFIR Art. 5(2))Applies from April 13, 2024AFIR art. 5(2)
If an operator offers automatic authentication (for example plug and charge or autocharge), you always have the right not to use it and to charge ad hoc or use another contract-based option offered at that point instead. The operator must show this option clearly and conveniently at each point that offers automatic authentication.
Operator prices: reasonable, comparable, transparent, non-discriminatory (AFIR Art. 5(3))Applies from April 13, 2024AFIR art. 5(3)
Prices charged by operators of publicly accessible charging points must be reasonable, easily and clearly comparable, transparent and non-discriminatory. An operator may not use prices to discriminate between end users and mobility service providers, or between mobility service providers. Price differences are only allowed if proportionate and objectively justified.
Chargers of 50 kW or more: price per kWh, visible before starting (AFIR Art. 5(4))Applies from April 13, 2024AFIR art. 5(4) eerste, tweede en vierde alinea
At charging points of 50 kW or more, the ad hoc price must be based on the price per kWh delivered. In addition, only an occupancy fee per minute may be charged to discourage long occupancy. The operator must show the ad hoc price per kWh and any occupancy fee per minute at the station so you know them before starting. According to the Commission, show means visibly present at the station, for example on a screen or sticker; a mere reference to a website is not enough (Q&A 5.19). An occupancy fee from the start of the session does not prima facie appear proportionate (Q&A 5.18), and per-transaction fees are excluded at these points (Q&A 5.21). These rules apply to points deployed from 13 April 2024.
Verordening (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), EUR-LexEuropese Commissie, Q&A over AFIR (EU) 2023/1804
Chargers below 50 kW: all price components available beforehand, in a fixed order (AFIR Art. 5(4))Applies from April 13, 2024AFIR art. 5(4) derde alinea
At charging points below 50 kW, the operator must make the ad hoc price with all its components clearly and easily available at the station so you know it before starting. The order is fixed: price per kWh, price per minute, price per session, then any other component. This may be digital, for example via a QR code or link at the charger (Q&A 5.19). According to the Commission, this duty applies since 13 April 2024 to all publicly accessible points below 50 kW, including existing ones (Q&A 5.20).
Verordening (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), EUR-LexEuropese Commissie, Q&A over AFIR (EU) 2023/1804
Charge card providers: full price beforehand, no surcharge for charging abroad (AFIR Art. 5(5))Applies from April 13, 2024AFIR art. 5(5)
Prices charged by mobility service providers (charge card and app providers) must be reasonable, transparent and non-discriminatory. Before a session starts, they must make all price information for that session available through freely available, widely supported electronic means, listing all price components separately, including e-roaming costs and their own fees. According to the Commission, the aim is that you can compare the ad hoc price with your card price beforehand (Q&A 5.27). Providers may not add extra charges for cross-border e-roaming.

Ad hoc price as open data (AFIR Art. 20)Applies from April 14, 2025AFIR art. 20(2) en 20(3)Gedelegeerde Verordening (EU) 2025/671 art. 1
Since 14 April 2025, operators must make static and dynamic data on their publicly accessible charging points available free of charge, including the current ad hoc price, availability and operational status, and (since the amendment by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/671) which payment options exist, such as a card reader or contactless reader. Member States publish these data through a national access point; in the Netherlands this is DOT-NL, run by NDW for the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

All publicly accessible charging points had to be digitally connected by 14 October 2024. Points built after 13 April 2024 or renovated after 14 October 2024 must be capable of smart charging. All publicly accessible DC points had to have a fixed charging cable by 14 April 2025.
AFIR review by the end of 2026 (AFIR Art. 24(2))Applies from December 31, 2026AFIR art. 24(2)
The European Commission must review AFIR by 31 December 2026, assessing among other things whether the electronic payment means in Art. 5(1) are still appropriate and whether the price components in Art. 5(4) give consumers clear and sufficient information. It may follow up with an amendment proposal. As of 27-09-2026, Art. 5 has not been amended; the two amendments so far (Delegated Regulations 2025/656 and 2025/671) concern standards in Annex II and data types in Art. 20.

Dutch rule: ad hoc charging without a contract (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Decree Art. 4)Applies from June 24, 2017Besluit infrastructuur alternatieve brandstoffen art. 4
Article 4 of the Dutch Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Decree (2017, version in force from 1 January 2026) requires that a publicly accessible charging point offers an ad hoc charging service without a contract with an electricity supplier or operator. This decree remains in force until the Dutch AFIR implementation act replaces it.

General Dutch pricing rules also apply to chargingBesluit prijsaanduiding producten art. 3 en 4BW art. 6:193d
Besides AFIR, general consumer rules apply. According to the NAL price transparency action plan, these are the Dutch Price Indication Decree (Arts. 3 and 4: a service may only be offered with a price indication on or near the product) and Book 6 of the Dutch Civil Code on unfair commercial practices (Art. 6:193d: omitting or unclearly giving essential information is misleading). The ACM states that the charger or charge card provider must tell you beforehand what you pay per kWh, including taxes and all mandatory costs, and that after charging you must be able to see how many kWh you used and what you paid.

When something goes wrong
Where to go
ACM: supervision of clear charging prices for consumers
The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) supervises consumer law, including for charging. Since 1 December 2020 the ACM checks whether charger and charge card providers make the price elements of a session clear beforehand; in 2021 it gave lagging providers a deadline to improve. Steps for consumers according to ACM ConsuWijzer: 1) complain by email or letter to the charge card provider, for example if the bill is higher than the price given beforehand; 2) if you cannot resolve it together, you can seek redress another way; 3) report the problem to ACM ConsuWijzer so the ACM can see which companies break the rules.

NVWA: supervision of the Dutch ad hoc charging rule (2017)
According to the explanatory memorandum to the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Decree (Bulletin of Acts 2017, 204), the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) supervises Article 4 (ad hoc charging without a contract). The same memorandum assigns the metering requirement (Art. 3) to the ACM and refers to the ACM and consumer law for transparent prices. Whether this division is unchanged since the Energy Act took effect is not stated in the sources consulted.

Dutch enforcement of AFIR: bill still in preparation
AFIR applies directly, but Member States must organise supervision themselves (Art. 5(6): regularly monitor the market and compliance with paragraphs 3 and 5). The Netherlands is preparing the Act implementing EU rules on alternative fuels infrastructure. The draft (public consultation 24 July to 12 October 2025) designates, besides officials appointed by ministers, the ACM, provinces and municipalities as supervisors, with powers to impose an order subject to penalty, an administrative fine and (for the ACM) a binding instruction. The Dutch Data Protection Authority reviewed the draft on 10 June 2026. According to the ministry's consultation summary, the plan is for the act to take effect in early 2028. As of 27-09-2026 no specific Dutch AFIR supervisor has been designated by law. The European Commission can assess Member State compliance, for example on the basis of a complaint (Q&A 5.30).

DOT-NL: open data on charging points and ad hoc prices
DOT-NL is the Dutch national access point required by AFIR. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management commissions it and NDW runs it. Operators supply location, availability and price information; the data are free for anyone to retrieve. According to the NAL, DOT-NL became operational in 2025 and several operators supply current tariff information; coverage and quality are being improved in 2026.

NAL: agreements on price transparency
In the National Charging Infrastructure Agenda (NAL), governments, grid operators and market parties work together. The Price Transparency Action Plan (May 2024) sets as required level full price information beforehand for ad hoc charging (operator's responsibility) and for card-based charging (mobility service provider's responsibility). In November 2025 the NAL working group adopted a definition of price transparency (the trade associations NVDE and DOET could not endorse the document). The NAL further reports ministry recommendations for price display at charging plazas, and the adopted Veltman and Bamenga motion (autumn 2024) to make charge card tariffs digitally and publicly available, which is being worked out in 2026.

Municipalities and provinces set tariffs in concessions
For chargers in public space, municipalities and provinces often award multi-year concessions to an operator. According to the NAL, public clients can set conditions on the (maximum) tariff, the number and type of price components and, for example, a display. As a result prices differ between regions and sometimes within a region. The NAL reports that price transparency scores demonstrably better in concession areas than in the open market or at semi-public chargers.

How these prices are gathered
- We only take prices from the tariff pages of networks, municipalities and official sources (NAL, RVO, NDW). Every price has a source and date.
- Where a network publishes a range, we show the range. If a price is not public we show “Not public”; we estimate nothing.
- There is no official national average public charging price, so we show no average.
Charging at home earns you ERE
Do you also charge at home? Every kWh your charger measures earns ERE. Compare the providers on net earnings and trust.
