A price per kWh is only half the story. LaadLens adds up everything a session costs and shows what the total is made of, even when a line is €0.00.
LaadLens itself has no subscription and no account. The app is free with ads; LaadLens Plus (one-time €3.99) removes them.

Worked examples with a passed-through energy price of €0.45/kWh (street) and €0.72/kWh (IONITY), prices incl. VAT, as of 9 November 2026. Card prices from our own table; check the current price with the provider. No paid placement, no commission.
Three questions almost every EV driver asks, with the answers we use ourselves.
At a regular public AC charger you usually pay about €0.33 to €0.64 per kWh ad hoc, all fees included. At a fast charger it is about €0.40 to €0.85 per kWh. That comes from our snapshot of the tariffs operators publish through NDW DOT-NL (November 2026).
The price per kWh is not the whole story. A €0.89 start fee makes a short 10 kWh session about €0.09 per kWh dearer, and a time or idle fee adds up when you stay at the charger for long. So always compare the total price of your session.
The charger around the corner is not always the cheapest. Tariffs differ per operator and per charge card, sometimes between two chargers on the same street. Walking a few minutes further often saves a few euros per session.
LaadLens ranks the public chargers near you by the total price of your session, taking walking time and availability into account. Chargers with a fault or an unknown status are never ranked first. The data comes from NDW DOT-NL, the open dataset of public charge points across the whole Netherlands, from Groningen to Maastricht.
Comparing charge cards on the price per kWh alone does not work. What counts is the sum: the monthly fee, the start fee per session, the mark-up on energy and the chargers you actually use. If you charge three times a month, a subscription rarely pays; if you charge on the street every week, it sometimes does.
So work it out with your own number of sessions. One card is often enough, or you pay ad hoc without a card. LaadLens does the sums for you and only suggests another card when it really saves money. We take no commission from charge-card providers.

It differs per charger, even on the same street. In our snapshot of all of the Netherlands (NDW DOT-NL, November 2026), a 20 kWh session over 3 hours at a regular AC charger usually costs about €6.50 to €12.40, all fees included and paid without a charge card. A 40 kWh fast-charging session usually costs about €15 to €34. With a charge card the result can differ.
Total = kWh × price per kWh + start fee + charging time × time fee + time plugged in after charging × idle fee. Example: 20 kWh × €0.43 = €8.60, with no start, time or idle fees. LaadLens does that sum per charger for your session. The results are estimates based on the tariffs operators publish through NDW DOT-NL.
It depends on how and where you charge. In our worked examples, at 8 street sessions a month the ANWB subscription was €3.13 a month cheaper than the free ANWB card, and at 3 sessions it was the other way round. Our table of 51 charge cards from 24 providers is curated by hand (as of 9 November 2026); always check the current price with the provider.
A subscription only pays off if you charge often enough. ANWB charges €3.99 a month with a subscription, or a €0.89 start fee per session without one, so the subscription pays off from 5 sessions a month. LaadLens works this out from your own charging.
Usually one. A general charge card works at almost every public charger. A second one, such as a subscription with a fast-charging network, pays off if you charge there often: in our IONITY example it saved €71.65 a month. We only suggest an extra provider when it saves at least €2 a month.
Increasingly, yes. The EU AFIR rules require ad-hoc payment without a subscription at new public charge points, and fast chargers from 50 kW get a payment terminal or contactless reader. Many older street chargers still only work with a card or app. Where an operator publishes an ad-hoc tariff, LaadLens shows it; whether a charger takes contactless payment is not always in the data.
A fast charger costs far more to build and connect to the grid, and you pay for time: in 20 to 30 minutes you get what takes hours at a regular charger. That is why the price per kWh is higher. A subscription with a fast-charging network can bring it down a lot.
A start fee is a fixed amount per charging session, for example €0.89 on the ANWB card without a subscription. An idle fee (blokkeertarief) is charged when your car stays at the charger after charging, often per hour after a free period. LaadLens includes both in the total and shows €0.00 when they do not apply.
LaadLens shows the availability operators share through NDW. It is not always current or complete, so we show how old the data is and never rank chargers with an unknown status or a fault first. The web radar uses a snapshot; the app fetches status live.
