Public charging prices
Free charging, payment options and displayed per-kWh prices, as declared by operators in the national IRVE database, with their coverage limits, while waiting for AFIR tariff data.
Publicly accessible charge points declared under the static IRVE schema (Etalab). Declarative price and payment fields, excluding tariffs billed through e-mobility provider badges or subscriptions.

Price benchmarks
The distribution of displayed IRVE prices, set against home electricity (regulated tariff) and the extremes observed for public charging by the June 2026 CLCV survey.
View data
| Benchmark | Price (€/kWh) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Home - regulated tariff (base, incl. tax) | 0.194 | Tarif réglementé de vente d'électricité (option base, TTC) — CRE, délibération du 14/01/2026, en vigueur au 01/02/2026 |
| Observed public charging (CLCV, ad hoc → via e-mobility provider) | 0.36 to 1.033 | Enquête CLCV « Recharge publique : la loterie des tarifs » — du tarif ad hoc AC le plus bas au prix le plus élevé constaté via un opérateur de mobilité |

External reference points entered manually (CRE regulated electricity tariff for the home price, CLCV survey 06/2026 for the ad hoc and mobility-operator extremes), each cited with its source and date.

Displayed price by operator
Only operators whose tarification field is filled enough for a median to be meaningful (≥ 100 extracted prices and ≥ 20% coverage). Each network's coverage is shown. Major absentees (Electra, Tesla, ENGIE Vianeo…) leave the field empty.

Methodology & license
- Scope
- Charge points open to the public, declared under the IRVE schema and consolidated by Etalab. Price fields (pricing, free charging) and payment-method fields declared by operators.
- Payment options and free charging
- Boolean fields of the IRVE schema declared by operators: pay-as-you-go (no identification or subscription; a mandatory field, filled in on 100% of points), presence of a card terminal, other payment method, unconditional free charging. Missing values in optional fields are counted as "not specified", never inferred.
- €/kWh price extraction
- The IRVE schema's pricing field is an optional free-text field. A €/kWh price is extracted when the text contains an amount explicitly tied to the kWh ("€0.29/kWh", "36 cts/kWh", "€0.33 per kWh"…). Plausibility guard: only values between €0.05 and €2/kWh are kept. Any €/min and €/session components are counted but not converted to €/kWh (they depend on the session's duration and energy).
- Representativeness
- ⚠️ The distribution describes the prices DISPLAYED in the IRVE database, not the average market price: pricing is filled in on only ~24% of charge points and a €/kWh price can be extracted from only ~9%, with major networks entirely absent (Electra, Tesla, ENGIE Vianeo, Freshmile… do not fill in the field). Prices actually billed via mobility-operator badges or subscriptions may also differ from the price displayed at the charger (gaps of up to +190% according to CLCV, 06/2026).
- Operator view
- Per-operator view limited to operators with at least 100 charge points that have an extracted price AND whose coverage (share of points with an extracted price) reaches 20%. Below that, a median would generalise from a fringe that isn't representative of the network. Coverage is shown next to each operator.
- External benchmarks
- External reference points entered manually (CRE regulated electricity tariff for the home price, CLCV survey 06/2026 for the ad hoc and mobility-operator extremes), each cited with its source and date.
