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 | Regulated electricity sale tariff (base option, incl. tax). CRE, decision of 14/01/2026, in force on 01/02/2026 |
| Observed public charging (CLCV, ad hoc → via e-mobility provider) | 0.36 to 1.033 | CLCV survey “Public charging: the pricing lottery”. From the lowest ad hoc AC tariff to the highest price observed through an e-mobility provider |

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
- Charging 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 24.6% of charging points and a €/kWh price can be extracted from only 10.7%, 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 charging 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.
