EnBW mobility+ App 9.0: The map shows price or charging capacity
With version 9.0, the EnBW mobility+ App introduces a new map view that displays either the maximum charging capacity or the current price at a location. There is also a new filter for charging stations that have space for a trailer.

In February 2025, EnBW expanded its app to include filters for supermarkets, restaurants, and toilets near charging stations. For EnBW’s own locations, this information came from the company itself, while for other locations it came from OpenStreetMap. Now, version 9.0 brings a major update that primarily features a redesigned map. According to EnBW, distribution has begun, and the new version should be available to all users in the coming days. Since its launch in 2017, the app has been downloaded more than 4.5 million times, according to the company.
Price or charging speed directly on the map
Users will now be able to choose whether the map displays the maximum charging speed or the price applicable at a location. According to EnBW, this will help find suitable charging stations more quickly and allow users to identify cheaper options before starting to charge. EnBW’s own locations and larger charging parks are intended to be easily recognizable on the map at a glance. Users can find charging stations near their current location or a desired destination using a radius search. Different details are displayed depending on the map view. EnBW has grouped search, favorites, and route planning functions in a central area.
In EnBW’s charging offer, the same prices do not apply at all charging stations. When EnBW reduced the prices of its mobility+ plans in December 2025, charging at EnBW stations, for example, cost 46 cents per kWh under plan M. At charging stations operated by other providers, the range for all plans was then between 56 and 89 cents per kWh. Therefore, the price depends on the plan booked and the operator of the charging station.

New filter for motorhomes
EnBW has also revised the filters, location preview, and detailed view. According to EnBW, information on availability, prices, plug types, hours of operation, and other features of a location is directly accessible. A new filter option displays only charging stations with sufficient space for vehicles and trailers. The announcement does not clarify how EnBW defines sufficient space, such as whether it refers to pass-through bays where a towed vehicle can drive in and out forwardly.
The update also changes the app icon, which will now appear in the company’s blue color to match the EnBW-Energiewelt app. Lars Jacobs, EnBW’s Chief Commercial Officer for E-Mobility, explains that the app was improved so that users can make quick decisions while on the go. Therefore, the most important information should be visible right where it’s needed.
Search, charge, and bill in one app
According to EnBW, the app covers the entire process from finding a charging station, through the charging process itself, to billing. Payment can be made contactlessly directly through the app. After a one-time registration, the vehicle can be connected and charged immediately at most EnBW fast charging stations. In the Stiftung Warentest’s test of charging apps (issue 10/2026), the Android version of the app received a score of 1.7 and became the winner of the test.
According to EnBW, it operates Germany’s largest fast charging network with over 9,000 charging stations, and through its joint venture SMATRICS, it also runs the largest network in Austria. Through the app, customers can access more than 900,000 charging stations provided by hundreds of providers across Europe. When charging at EnBW stations, customers also earn points in the EnBW collect loyalty program, which can be converted into credit in the app. At launch in June 2026, customers received two points per kilowatt hour, with 500 points equating to five euros in credit.
Do you use the EnBW mobility+ app for planning your charging sessions, and what information do you find most lacking in charging apps so far?
