Charging network operator Allego is launching a cashback campaign for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles on October 15, running until December 31. Drivers at 250 participating locations in Germany and France will receive 20 cents back for each kilowatt hour (kWh) charged, provided they pay for the charging process through the Allego app. Of these participating locations, 200 are in Germany.

This offer is available to all users of the Allego app, including customers of the free Allego Smart Tariff and Allego Plus subscribers. In Germany, the effective charging price drops from 59 to 39 cents per kWh under the Smart Tariff thanks to cashback, and from 39 to 19 cents per kWh under the Plus Tariff. The credit is automatically added to the app’s wallet after charging, without the need for a promo code or separate request. Participating charging stations are clearly marked in the app.

With an assumed consumption of 20 kWh per 100 kilometers, Allego-Plus subscribers would theoretically pay 3.80 euros for this distance during the promotion, according to the company. Under Allego’s regular rate of 59 cents per kWh, the cost would be 11.80 euros, representing a savings of 8 euros per 100 kilometers or 80 euros per 1,000 kilometers. The actual costs depend on factors such as vehicle efficiency, driving style, route, weather conditions, and the charging stations used.

"With an effective price of 0.19 euros per kWh, Allego makes ultra-fast public charging particularly attractive," says Jean Gadrat, Allego’s Chief Marketing Officer. "In many markets, it can be cheaper than charging at home. This makes electric vehicles even more cost-effective compared to gasoline-powered cars."

Allego is implementing the cashback campaign in partnership with Deftpower, a provider specializing in technology solutions for charging electric vehicles.
