Charges for charging at an Orange Charging charge point in your municipality
Orange Charging won the concession in 2023, to provide the rollout of AC charging stations within the Municipality of Altena. One of the things that is seen as most important by both the Municipality of Altena and also Orange Charging is to charge electric drivers within the Municipalities as fairly as possible. Therefore, once a quarter the charging rates are determined using EPEX market prices (the spot prices of the energy market) of the previous quarter. The basic charging rate stands at €0.23 excluding VAT per kWh (indexed annually) and in addition a runtime rate of €0.02 (situation Q2 2025) per minute is paid. The runtime rate is determined quarterly based on a graduated scale. If the EPEX market prices of the previous quarter have been relatively high then the runtime rate may increase. The graduated scale is shared with the Municipality of Altena and the running time rate will be determined jointly by Orange Charging and the Municipality of Altena on a quarterly basis. During the day (between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.) the runtime tariff will continue to apply even after charging is complete in order to motivate the electric driver to move his or her vehicle immediately after charging. Between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., the running time rate applies only while charging.
The above charging rate is charged to your charging service provider (MSP), this is the party you have a contract with and also received the charging card from. It is important to note that the charging service provider may charge a surcharge for the use of their services based on the agreements you have made with them.
The MSP will handle the billing of your charging sessions. If you have any questions, it is advisable to contact your charging service provider.
