Lidl Plus offers lower prices for charging electric cars, at 1.14 PLN/kWh for DC charging (!). Of course, in GERMANY

In June 2026, Lidl’s store network in Germany is offering its customers additional benefits. Those who are part of the Lidl Plus program will pay only 0.27 euros, equivalent to 1.14 or about 1.18 złoty per kWh when charging with direct current. The standard rate is 0.44 euros/kWh, which is about 1.93 zł/kWh. This rate does not depend on the charger’s speed and applies even to devices with capacities of 350-400 kW.

Inexpensive charging through Lidl Plus. Prediction: in Poland in two to three years

Lidl Plus is a mobile app that allows us to authenticate further during our purchases, enabling Lidl to create or tailor promotional offers based on our interests and needs — because it knows we buy bread every day, pizza dough once every two weeks, and diapers only once in a lifetime for a specific period. And if we pay using self-service kiosks, the cameras in them can provide additional profiling data, for example, linking male faces and dirty work clothes with plaster on them to a particular interest in beer.

In Germany, Lidl Plus loyalty program has finally been used for the purpose that Elektrowoz readers have long suggested. After downloading the app, registering in it, and activating Lidl Pay, an electric vehicle owner can top up energy at a cost of 1.18 zlotys per kWh, which in Poland would result in an average cost of 23.6 zlotys per 100 km for weekdays, winter, and summer. Importantly, our western neighbors do not need to meet any additional conditions, at least for now.

The offer is time-limited and valid only until the end of June, though we won’t be surprised if it is intelligently extended. Once the promotion for recharging at German Lidl stores ends, electric vehicle owners will have to pay around 1.93 zloty per kWh. The fee does not depend on the charger’s speed and applies to both 100 kW and 400 kW chargers. The store chain promises to use entirely renewable energy, so there is no issue with “coal-powered electricity.” In Poland, only Ekoen seems to adopt a similar smart strategy; Lidl focuses on expanding its charging station network, with further moves possibly coming later.
