A recharge at 0.19 €/kWh at a fast charger? It’s possible at Allego, but under certain conditions...
What if ultra-fast charging became cheaper than charging at home? Until December 31, 2026, Allego is offering a discount of 0.20 €/kWh at 250 charging stations in France and Germany. With its paid subscription, the actual cost can even drop to 0.19 €/kWh. But there are a few details to keep in mind.
Charging operators are launching numerous initiatives to attract electric vehicle owners. We recall the recent competition between Lidl and Leclerc with highly attractive rates. But that was for slow charging at 22 kW. Allego is now entering the fast charging market! The Dutch company has introduced a promotion covering 250 DC charging stations, including 55 in France. This offer started on October 15 and will remain valid until the end of the year.
Ultra-fast charging at 0.19 €/kWh
The principle is quite simple. For each kWh charged at an eligible station, Allego refunds 0.20 € to the electric vehicle user. This amount is automatically credited to their mobile app wallet, without requiring any promo code or additional steps. Additionally, this discount applies to both users of the free Allego Smart plan and Allego Plus subscribers.

For the first group, the cost per kWh drops from 0.59 to 0.39 €. For the others, it falls from 0.39 to 0.19 €/kWh. This makes ultra-fast charging highly competitive. Let’s take a concrete example. With an average consumption of 20 kWh per 100 km, driving 1,000 km costs only 38 € in electricity at the most favorable promotional rate. At 0.59 €/kWh, the bill rises to 118 €, which is still very reasonable.
An interesting offer, but with conditions
A few clarifications are necessary. This rate of 0.19 €/kWh is not available for free. One must subscribe to the Allego Plus plan, which costs 9.99 € per month. Another important point is that the discount comes in the form of cashback, rather than an immediate reduction. Therefore, one must pay the usual charging amount first before receiving a credit that can be used later. Lastly, only 55 stations in France are participating in this initiative.
The majority of the relevant Allego chargers are located in parking lots for shops or restaurants, with only seven on highway rest areas. Electric vehicle users can find the exact locations directly in the app. In short, this promotion once again shows that operators are trying to differentiate themselves through pricing, not just through the power of their chargers.
