Fulli electric charging does much more than recharge your batteries!
Fulli makes electric recharging easy, recharging at over 440,000 stations, so you can drive with a clear head wherever you go.
How do I charge my electric car at a public charging station?
-
Have a means of payment adapted to the terminal
Have a recharge card that gives access to the charging station. The majority of charging stations still don't have a credit card reader, so you'll need to bring a recharge card with you. However, some kiosks allow you to pay by credit card or QR CODE.
-
Have a car and a cable compatible with the terminal
The “Type 2” plug standard is in the majority in Europe, although some terminals still have Type 3C plugs. For fast recharging, check the standard available between COMBO 2 and CHAdeMO. In doubt? Check the cables on our charging station map.

Have you completed the first 2 steps? Follow the guide!
If the signal is good, the terminal is unlocked. First connect the cable to the terminal, then open the hatch and connect the same cable to your vehicle. When you leave, remember to pass your card over the terminal again to unlock the cable.
Everything you need to know
of electric charging stations
The recharge card and its conditions
Don't be fooled: if an operator indicates that no subscription or commission is taken from the top-up, it's because the commission is included in the price per kWh (on average 10% commission). With the Fulli Elec offer, there are no surprises. You pay €2.50/month, regardless of the number of top-ups you make.
The charging station operator
Public charging stations have become increasingly common in recent years, whether at freeway stations, on the road or in hypermarket parking lots... But beware of operator prices! Charging prices vary from one operator to another. They can be as much as double. You can check the rates of the different operators on the Fulli app.
At home, in town, in a supermarket or on the freeway?
Over 80% of electric car owners charge at home. However, if you charge outside, the price will depend on where you charge. On public land, charging may be free, but it can also cost up to €0.30/kWh. On average, public charging stations charge €0.25/kWh. On freeways, the rate is higher, at just over €0.50 per kWh.
Peak, off-peak and parking times...
You're probably familiar with it at home, but energy prices also vary according to the time of day you charge. It's not uncommon for operators to charge different rates for peak and off-peak hours. Off-peak hours (night hours) are times when there is less demand for electricity, which generally translates into a lower cost per kWh. By charging during off-peak hours, you can save up to 50% on the total cost of the charge. Be careful, too, with parking times: you'll avoid having to park your car for too long. Operators sometimes apply a charge beyond a certain number of minutes.
The cost of recharging will also depend on the power of the terminal.
