How much does charging an e-bike cost?

E-bikes are not only environmentally friendly but also extremely cheap to maintain. But how much electricity does a charge actually consume, and what does the electricity bill look like in the end?

The Calculation at a Glance

Let's assume a standard battery with 500 Wh (0.5 kWh) and an electricity price of 40 cents per kWh.

0,5 kWh × 0,40 € = 0,20 €

So a complete full charge costs you just 20 cents!

Costs per 100 Kilometers

With an average range of 80 km per charge, the following costs result:

  • Costs for 80 km: €0.20
  • Costs for 100 km: approx. €0.25

Costs at Public Charging Stations

Charging is even free at many of our listed stations. Some providers (especially in gastronomy) offer electricity as a service for guests. With paid systems, you often pay a flat rate or a time-based fee, usually between €0.50 and €2.00.

Tip: Look for the green "Free" label in the BikeCharge App to find stations without fees.
