By charging type
Where you charge decides what 100 km costs
For the 12 most registered models. The difference between cars is small next to the difference between smart home charging and fast charging without a card.
Charging cost per 100 km, incl. VAT
Per model: four ways of charging on one axis. Hover a row for the amounts.

How we calculate
Four prices, one consumption, no assumptions
Cost per 100 km = consumption in kWh per 100 km × the price per kWh. All prices include VAT and come from data we show elsewhere on the site with its source. Fixed costs per connection (standing charge, grid fees, the tax reduction) do not depend on how much you charge and are left out.
At home, smart charging
€0.186/kWh
The same build-up, but with the average market price in the 4 cheapest hours of each day (€0.043). For a charger or car that picks those hours itself.
Smart charging in the trendsAt home, dynamic contract
€0.259/kWh
Average market price October 2025 to September 2026 (€0.103 per kWh), plus energy tax and 21% VAT per month, plus the median markup of 17 dynamic contracts (€0.0200).
Compare dynamic contractsPublic charging (AC)
€0.570/kWh
Median price without a charging card (ad hoc) across the 3 charging networks that publish one, checked on October 21, 2026. Municipal concession prices are often lower.
Charging prices per network and cityFast charging (DC)
€0.805/kWh
Median price without a charging card (ad hoc) across the 4 fast-charging networks that publish one, checked on October 21, 2026. A subscription or own app can be cheaper.
Compare charging cards
Consumption: type approval, not a real-world figure
Consumption is the WLTP value from type approval: a laboratory test, measured at the socket and so including charging losses. Real consumption is often higher, especially in winter and at motorway speeds. We count every new registration in 2024 and 2025 and take the median per model; versions (battery, wheels, drive) and renames are grouped. Values more than 50% away from the model’s median are left out as reporting errors. Included: models with at least 1,000 registrations.
ERE: only for kWh charged at home
Every kWh you charge at home is worth 0.33269 ERE (statutory conversion). At the current market price of €0.460 per ERE and after the median commission of 20% that is €0.122 per kWh. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter; a separate meter in the meter cupboard does not count.
Questions
Questions about charging costs
Which electric car uses the least energy?
Of the 62 most registered models, the Mercedes-Benz CLA (13.1 kWh), the Tesla Model 3 (13.2 kWh) and the Dacia Spring (13.3 kWh) have the lowest consumption per 100 km according to type approval (WLTP). The highest is the Audi Q8 e-tron at 22.1 kWh. It is the median across all versions registered in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025, source EEA.
What does 100 km of electric driving cost?
For a car with the median consumption of 16.2 kWh per 100 km: €4.17 at home on a dynamic contract, €3.00 when you charge smart in the cheapest hours, €9.21 at a public charger without a card and €13.00 at a fast charger without a card. Home charging uses the average price of October 2025 to September 2026.
How much ERE does home charging earn per year?
At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, after the median commission of 20%: from about €240 (Mercedes-Benz CLA) to €405 (Audi Q8 e-tron); a car with the median consumption comes to €295. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter for this.
Is the WLTP consumption realistic?
WLTP is the European test procedure for type approval: a laboratory measurement, including charging losses. Real consumption is often higher, especially in winter (heating, a cold battery) and at motorway speeds. We apply no correction of our own, so every figure traces back to its source; use the calculator on each model page for your own situation.
Where do the consumption figures come from?
From the EU monitoring of CO2 emissions from new passenger cars (Regulation (EU) 2019/631) by the European Environment Agency (EEA): the electric energy consumption field (Wh/km) of every new electric car registered in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025 (2025 provisional).
