Not everyone who drives an EV needs a charging tariff with a monthly fee. If you only charge in public occasionally, spend a lot of time driving in the city, or get most of your electricity at home, a more flexible model is often the better fit. That is exactly when EV charging without a monthly fee becomes especially attractive. Instead of paying ongoing fixed costs, you only pay when you actually use a charging station. That gives you more freedom in everyday life and makes it easier to keep track of your charging costs.
A tariff with no monthly base fee is especially well suited to drivers with irregular charging needs. If you do not need to charge your vehicle on the go every day, a traditional subscription can quickly become unnecessarily expensive. In some cases, it therefore makes more sense to charge your EV without a monthly fee and simply pay for individual charging sessions. This applies in particular to people who mainly drive short distances, charge at home, or only use public charging points as a supplement. If you want to stay flexible, an open model is often the better choice.
If you want to charge your EV without a contract, you now have far more freedom than you did a few years ago. Many public charging points can be used spontaneously, without having to commit to a long-term tariff. This is particularly useful when your route, charging needs, or daily schedule change at short notice. Instead of relying on a fixed contract, what matters most is that access is simple and costs are clearly visible before you start. That is why it is worth paying attention to transparent billing and straightforward payment options.
With us, you can pay conveniently depending on how you charge: via the JOLT app, by QR code, by credit card at the terminal, or through third-party charging cards and charging apps. Depending on the payment method, mobile payments may also be available. This keeps charging simple, transparent, and practical for everyday use, without necessarily requiring a fixed contract.
If you want to charge without a subscription at JOLT, two of our charging tariffs are available. The Community Tariff is a good option if you want to use our app and prefer a lower price without a monthly fee. At JOLT charging stations, you pay €0.59/kWh from 8 am to 8 pm and €0.55/kWh from 8 pm to 8 am. There is no contract commitment and no minimum term. The Express Tariff is designed above all for particularly spontaneous charging. With this option, you can charge directly at the station without registering and pay €0.79/kWh by credit card or on your smartphone with Apple Pay or Google Pay. This gives you two flexible ways to charge without fixed monthly costs and choose between app-based access and direct payment depending on the situation.
Without fixed monthly costs, charging stays as flexible as your everyday life requires. You decide whether you want to pay spontaneously at the station or use a lower-priced tariff via the app. That way, you stay in full control of both usage and costs. That is exactly what makes ultra-fast charging without a monthly fee a practical solution for many drivers.
