In Luxembourg, there are mainly four different charging scenarios, each with its own cost, duration and characteristics. Two scenarios are universal (at home and on the motorway) and two scenarios are specific to Luxembourg (CHARGY and SUPERCHARGY).
Home charging: the most economical price for an electric vehicle
The cost of home charging is most advantageous in Luxembourg. With an 11 kW charging station and an average rate of 0.191 GBP/kWh, you can charge your vehicle for approximately 6,84€ to 11,40€ depending on your battery capacity. It is three to four times cheaper than at CHARGY (or other) public charging stations.
The charging time is certainly longer (3 to 6 hours on average), but this is not usually a problem since you generally charge overnight. On a monthly basis of 8 top-ups, the cost at home varies between 55€ and 91€., compared to 1,44€ to 2,40€ at public charging stations. The annual savings can exceed 1,000TP1T.
To benefit from the best home charging price, it is recommended that you subscribe to a specific electricity contract for electric vehicles with off-peak hours. This means you can pay up to 30% less per kWh during the night and at weekends.
CHARGY: the Luxembourg public network
The network CHARGY is the network of public charging stations managed by Creos (the Luxembourg electricity network operator). With over 800 charging points spread across the country, it is the ideal solution for charging in town or at work. However, with the development of electric mobility in Luxembourg, the charging stations are often very busy (it can be difficult to find one that is free, especially during the week!).
The charging price on CHARGY is set at 0.501 GBP/kWh., or approximately 18€ for a recharge of 20% to 80% on a 60 kWh battery. CHARGY charging stations offer up to 22 kW of power, allowing for a recharge in approximately 2 hours. This is a good compromise between cost and charging speed.
The monthly cost with 8 top-ups on CHARGY is approximately £144€, or £1,728€ per year. Compared to a petrol vehicle, you still save around £700 per year., while taking advantage of the flexibility of the public network.
Unlike the price per kWh at home, the price per kWh via CHARGY charging stations tends to follow an upward trend.
Please note that Tesla Superchargers are also available to all electric vehicles. However, the price varies depending on your subscription (0.20-0.301 GBP/kWh without a subscription, and up to 0.801 GBP/kWh without a subscription).
SUPERCHARGY and motorway charging stations: ultra-fast charging
For rapid recharging, Luxembourg has the network SUPERCHARGY (0.641 TP1T/kWh) and motorway charging stations managed by private operators such as Fastned, IONITY or Total (0.611 GBP/kWh on average). These high-power charging stations (150 to 350 kW) allow charging in 20 to 30 minutes.
The charging price at these fast charging stations is significantly higher. Expect between 22€ and 23€ for a recharge of 20% to 80%, or approximately 175€ to 184€ per month for 8 recharges. This type of recharge should therefore be reserved for long-distance journeys or emergency situations.
The simulator's calculation shows that with exclusive use of these fast charging stations, your savings compared to petrol are significantly reduced. You still save around £350 to £400 per year, but that's four times less than charging at home.
Why are there such differences in price between the different types of top-ups in Luxembourg?
The price differences can be explained by several economic and technical factors:
- The cost of infrastructure: A 350 kW fast charging station costs between £150,000 and £300,000 to install, compared to £2,000 to £3,000 for an 11 kW domestic charging station. These investments must be recouped through the price per kWh, hence the huge difference.
- Maintenance and operating costs: Public terminals require regular maintenance, round-the-clock monitoring, and generate operating costs (land rental, insurance, customer support).
- Available power: Providing 350 kW of power requires a very costly high-voltage grid connection, with proportionally higher grid costs.
- Demand and availability: Motorway terminals are located in strategic locations where demand is high, justifying premium rates.
The price of your home electricity is therefore naturally the lowest. because you only pay for the cost of energy and standard network charges, without the additional infrastructure and operating costs of public charging points.

Understanding the results of your recharging simulation
Our simulator presents you with four different charging scenarios, each with its own cost, duration and characteristics. Here is how to interpret these results to optimise your charging expenses in Luxembourg.
Home charging: the most economical price
The cost of home charging is most advantageous in Luxembourg. With an 11 kW charging station and an average rate of 0.191 GBP/kWh, you can charge your vehicle for approximately 6,84€ to 11,40€ depending on your battery capacity. It is three to four times cheaper than at public charging stations.
The charging time is longer (3 to 6 hours on average), but this is not usually a problem as you charge it overnight. On a monthly basis of 8 top-ups, the cost at home varies between 55€ and 91€., compared to 1,44€ to 2,40€ at public charging stations. The annual savings can exceed 1,000TP1T.
To benefit from the best home charging price, it is recommended that you subscribe to a specific electricity contract for electric vehicles with off-peak hours. This means you can pay up to 30% less per kWh during the night and at weekends.
CHARGY: the Luxembourg public network
The CHARGY network is the network of public charging stations managed by the Luxembourg government. With over 800 charging points spread across the country, it is the ideal solution for charging in town or at work.
The charging price on CHARGY is set at 0.501 GBP/kWh., or approximately 18€ for a recharge of 20% to 80% on a 60 kWh battery. CHARGY charging stations offer up to 22 kW of power, allowing for a recharge in approximately 2 hours. This is a good compromise between cost and charging speed.
The monthly cost with 8 top-ups on CHARGY is approximately £144€, or £1,728€ per year. Compared to a petrol vehicle, you still save around £700 per year., while taking advantage of the flexibility of the public network.
SUPERCHARGY and motorway charging stations: ultra-fast charging
For rapid recharging, Luxembourg has the network SUPERCHARGE (0.64€/kWh) and motorway charging stations managed by private operators such as Fastned, IONITY or Total (0.611 GBP/kWh on average). These high-power charging stations (150 to 350 kW) allow charging in 20 to 30 minutes.
The charging price at these fast charging stations is significantly higher. Expect between 22€ and 23€ for a recharge of 20% to 80%, or approximately 175€ to 184€ per month for 8 recharges. This type of recharge should therefore be reserved for long-distance journeys or emergency situations.
The simulator's calculation shows that with exclusive use of these fast charging stations, your savings compared to petrol are significantly reduced. You still save around £350 to £400 per year, but that's four times less than charging at home.
Why are there price differences between the different types of refills?
The price differences can be explained by several economic and technical factors:
- The cost of infrastructure: A 350 kW fast charging station costs between £150,000 and £300,000 to install, compared to £2,000 to £3,000 for an 11 kW domestic charging station. These investments must be recouped through the price per kWh.
- Maintenance and operating costs: Public terminals require regular maintenance, round-the-clock monitoring, and generate operating costs (land rental, insurance, customer support).
- Available power: Providing 350 kW of power requires a very costly high-voltage grid connection, with proportionally higher grid costs.
- Demand and availability: Motorway terminals are located in strategic locations where demand is high, justifying premium rates.
The price of your home electricity is therefore naturally the lowest. because you only pay for the cost of energy and standard network charges, without the additional infrastructure and operating costs of public charging points.
How can the cost of charging electric cars in Luxembourg be reduced?
In general, electric vehicle owners spend between £650 and £2,200 per year on charging. While this is still two to three times less than for a combustion engine vehicle, it is still possible to optimise further and save a few hundred pounds more.
Charge your electric car during off-peak hours
It is even the most effective strategy for reducing your costs. Opt for a suitable electricity contract for electric vehicles (which offers reduced-rate kWh during off-peak hours), and programme your charging station to start charging automatically at midnight.
In concrete terms, if you normally pay 0.191 GBP/kWh, you can pay only 0.13€/kWh during off-peak hours. Based on a 36 kWh recharge, this represents a saving of 2.16€ per recharge, or 207€ per year for 8 monthly recharges.
You can also take advantage of weekend charging: generally, certain time slots on Saturdays and Sundays are included in the off-peak hours programme (only on contracts dedicated to electric vehicles).
Adjust the charging power to suit your needs
The higher the charging power on your home charging station, the more you will pay in network charges. Especially if you run your washing machine, oven and water heater at the same time. You can then reach peaks of 15-18kW, which will put you in a higher tariff category.
A word of advice: do not opt for an ultra-powerful charging station at any cost. An 11kW charging station at home is more than enough. Charge your vehicle once everyone is in bed and there is no other intensive use at the same time.
There are now also dynamic charging stations that dynamically adjust the power supplied to the power available or to a pre-set limit.
Charge to a maximum of 80%
The fastest (and healthiest for your battery life) charging occurs between 20% and 80% charge. Between 80% and 100% charge, charging will be much slower, increasing charging time and cost at some public charging stations that charge by the minute (especially on motorways).
Finally, a few tips to help you save even more money
Here they are:
- Try to recharge as much as possible at work, if you have a charging station available.
- When travelling long distances, plan your stops well in advance (using apps such as Chargemap) – this way, you can find stations that are cheaper than those on the motorway.
- Finally, consider taking out a subscription to a charging network (if you often use motorways equipped with IONITY or Fastned stations, for example, taking out a subscription could save you money on your charging costs).
Of course, it's up to you to decide based on your priorities, your finances and your desire to optimise!
In any case, you can start by doing a simulation at the top of the page to calculate the cost of charging your electric vehicle based on different scenarios.
How much does it cost to charge different car models in Luxembourg?

How does our electric car charging cost simulator work in Luxembourg?
Our charging cost simulator is designed to provide you with a accurate and personalised estimate of your charging costs in Luxembourg. It incorporates the exact tariffs applied in Luxembourg in 2026 (with the official price per kWh in Luxembourg) and takes into account local specificities such as the CHARGY and SUPERCHARGY networks.
Calculating the price of a top-up
The Switchr simulator performs its calculations in real time based on two main settings that you can adjust : your battery capacity (in kWh) and the type of charging you want (optimal 20-80% or full 0-100%). These two variables determine the energy required for each charge and, consequently, the associated cost.
The basic formula used by the simulator is simple:
Recharging cost = Energy consumed (kWh) × Price per kWh (€/kWh)
- For optimal charging from 20% to 80%, the energy required represents 60% of your battery's total capacity. For example, for a 60 kWh battery: 60 kWh × 0.60 = 36 kWh of energy required.
- For a full recharge from 0% to 100%, 100% of capacity is used, i.e. 60 kWh.
The simulator then applies the actual rates charged in Luxembourg for each type of terminal:
- 0.191 GBP/kWh for domestic use (average residential tariff)
- 0.50€/kWh for CHARGY
- 0.64€/kWh for SUPERCHARGY
- 0.61€/kWh (on average) for private motorway charging stations. These rates are updated regularly to reflect changes in the Luxembourg market.
Calculating the recharge time
Beyond the cost, the simulator automatically calculates the time required for each type of recharge. This estimate is crucial for planning your top-ups and understanding the trade-offs between speed and cost.
The formula used is: Recharging time (hours) = Energy to be recharged (kWh) ÷ Charging station power (kW)
Concrete example for a 60 kWh battery (20-80% recharge, i.e. 36 kWh):
- With an 11 kW home charging station: 36 kWh ÷ 11 kW = 3.27 hours, or approximately 3 hours and 16 minutes
- With a CHARGY 22 kW charging station: 36 kWh ÷ 22 kW = 1.64 hours, or approximately 1 hour 38 minutes
- With a SUPERCHARGE station or a 350 kW motorway charging point: 36 kWh ÷ 350 kW = 0.10 hours, or approximately 6 minutes
These calculations are theoretical and represent the optimal time under ideal conditions. In reality, several factors can influence the charging time: the outside temperature (a cold battery charges more slowly), the initial state of charge of the battery (charging slows down beyond 80% charge), the maximum power accepted by your vehicle (some models cannot accept 350 kW), and the number of vehicles simultaneously charging at a station (power is sometimes shared).
Calculation of monthly and annual costs
To assist you in budget your charging expenses, The simulator automatically projects your costs on a monthly and annual basis. These projections are based on an assumption of eight recharges per month, which corresponds to the average usage of a Luxembourg driver travelling between 12,000 and 15,000 kilometres per year.
Here is how these calculations are performed:
Monthly cost = Cost per top-up × 8 top-ups
Annual cost = Monthly cost × 12 months
Let us take the example of a 60 kWh battery with optimal charging (20-80%, or 36 kWh) at home at a rate of 0.19€/kWh. The cost per charge is 6.84€.
- Over one month: 6,84€ × 8 = 54,72€.
- Over one year: 54,72€ × 12 = 656,64€ (rounded to 657€).
This methodology enables you to instantly compare the financial impact of each type of top-up on your annual budget.
For example, you can see that by switching from a 100% home charger (657€/year) to a 100% CHARGY charger (1,728€/year), you increase your expenditure by 1,071€ per year. This clear visualisation helps you optimise your charging strategy.
Calculating savings compared to a combustion engine car
Some Switchr users consult this simulator to find out whether it is financially worthwhile to buy an electric car. The answer is yes. The simulator automatically calculates your annual savings compared to an equivalent petrol vehicle. This comparison allows you to measure the financial advantage of driving an electric vehicle in Luxembourg.
The calculation methodology used is as follows:
- The simulator begins by calculating your average annual mileage based on your 8 monthly recharges (96 annual recharges). Each recharge from 20% to 80% represents approximately 60% of your total range. For a 60 kWh battery with an average consumption of 17 kWh/100km, the total range is approximately 353 km (60 kWh ÷ 17 kWh/100km × 100). A 20-80% recharge therefore provides 212 km of range (353 km × 0.60). With 96 recharges per year: 212 km × 96 = 20,352 km travelled per year.
- The simulator then calculates the annual fuel cost of a petrol vehicle travelling the same distance. It uses an average consumption of 7 litres/100km (representative of an average car in Luxembourg) and the current price of petrol at 1.70€/litre. For 20,352 km: (20,352 ÷ 100) × 7L × £1.701 = £2,419 in annual fuel costs.
The annual saving is simply the difference between the cost of petrol and the cost of electricity. In our example with home charging: 2,419€ – 6,57€ = 1,762€ in savings per year. The simulator displays this amount clearly and visually in the «Your annual savings vs petrol» section.
The simulator presents three savings scenarios to reflect different actual usage profiles in Luxembourg.
- The «At home» scenario assumes a 100% domestic charging point (maximum savings).
- The «CHARGY» scenario assumes 100% charging at public charging stations (reduced savings, but still significant).
- The «Mixed Use» scenario combines 50% of home charging, 30% CHARGY, 15% SUPERCHARGY and 5% motorway charging, representing the typical usage of a Luxembourg driver who mainly charges at home but occasionally uses public charging stations. This is the most common and realistic scenario.
The simulator's customisable settings
The simulator offers two levels of customisation to obtain results that are perfectly tailored to your situation. These settings are easily accessible and can be modified in real time.
1. Your battery capacity
This is the most important parameter because it directly determines your charging costs. The simulator accepts all battery capacities from 10 kWh to 200 kWh, covering all electric vehicles on the market, from small city cars (Fiat 500e with 42 kWh) to premium SUVs (Mercedes EQS with 107 kWh). By default, the simulator is set to 60 kWh, which corresponds to the Tesla Model Y, the best-selling electric vehicle in Luxembourg.
To change this value, use the slider or enter the number directly in the field. You can find the exact capacity of your battery in your vehicle's manual, on the manufacturer's website, or in our comparison table of popular models. As soon as you change this value, all the simulator's results are instantly recalculated to reflect your new setting.
2. The type of recharge: optimal (20-80%) or complete (0-100%)
The second parameter allows you to choose between two recharging strategies. By default, the simulator displays results for optimal recharging from 20% to 80%, which is the practice recommended by all car manufacturers. This range offers the best compromise between charging speed, battery preservation, and cost (at public charging stations that charge by the minute).
If you prefer to calculate the cost of a full recharge from 0% to 100%, simply click on the «Full (0-100%)» button. All calculations are adjusted automatically: the energy required increases from 60% to 100% of battery capacity, costs increase proportionally, and charging times are extended (particularly at fast charging stations, where the speed drops dramatically above 80%).
Here is an example of the difference between a recharge of 20% at 80°% and a recharge of 0% at 100% for a 60 kWh battery:
- Refill 20-80%: 36 kWh required, 6.84€ at home, 18€ on CHARGY, time 3h16 (home 11kW)
- Recharge 0-100%: 60 kWh required, 11.40€ at home, 30€ on CHARGY, time 5h27 (home 11kW).
Therefore, charging from 0 to 100% logically costs more (+4.56€ at home and +12€ at CHARGY) and takes longer (+2 hours 11 minutes at home and +20-25 minutes at a fast charging station, due to a noticeable slowdown in charging beyond 80%).
It should be noted that manufacturers advise against charging beyond 80% in order to preserve battery life.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How much does it cost to charge an electric car at home in Luxembourg?
Charging at home costs between £5.701 and £9.121 depending on your battery capacity, with an average rate of £0.191/kWh. For a standard 60 kWh battery (20-80% charge), expect to pay around £6.84 per charge, or £65 per year for eight charges per month. This is three to four times cheaper than CHARGY public charging stations.
How much does it cost to recharge at CHARGY charging stations in Luxembourg?
The CHARGY network charges 0.501 GBP/kWh., or approximately £181 for a recharge of £201 to £801 on a 60 kWh battery. With eight recharges per month, the monthly cost is £1,441 and the annual cost is £1,728. This is 2.6 times more expensive than charging at home but remains very competitive compared to motorway charging stations.
How much does a quick recharge on the motorway cost?
At motorway fast charging stations (IONITY, Fastned, Total), the average price is 0.611 GBP/kWh, or approximately 221 GBP per charge from 201 GBP to 801 GBP.. SUPERCHARGY terminals are slightly more expensive at 0.641 GBP/kWh (231 GBP per charge). These rates are reserved for long-distance journeys where speed takes precedence over cost.
How does the charging simulator work?
Our simulator automatically calculates the cost of your recharge based on your battery capacity and the type of recharge selected. (optimal 20-80% or full 0-100%). It presents four scenarios (home, CHARGY, motorway, SUPERCHARGY) with the price per charge, monthly cost, time required and your annual savings compared to a petrol vehicle. Simply change your battery capacity to get personalised results.
Why recharge from 20% to 80% rather than fully?
Charging between 20% and 80% is faster, less expensive at pay-per-minute charging stations, and preserves the life of your battery. Beyond 80%, the charging speed slows down considerably, which can add an extra 20 minutes and 6€ on a fast charger for only 20% of additional battery. Our simulator uses this optimal range by default, but you can choose 0-100% if necessary.
How much can you save by driving an electric car instead of a petrol car in Luxembourg?
By charging mainly at home, you save approximately £1,771 per year compared to a petrol vehicle (£657 of electricity vs £2,428 of petrol for 15,000 km). With 100% CHARGY usage, the saving drops to £700 per year. Mixed usage (home + public charging stations) saves you approximately £1,295 per year.
Should you install a charging station at home? in Luxembourg?
Yes, it is the most profitable investment for an electric vehicle owner. An 11 kW charging station costs between £2,000 and £3,000 to install and can charge a vehicle in 3-6 hours for £6-12 per charge, compared to £18-25 on public charging stations. The annual savings of over £1,000 amortise the installation in 2-3 years.
Which charging station power should you choose: 7 kW, 11 kW or 22 kW?
The 11 kW charging station is the best compromise for 99% users, with a charging time of 5-6 hours (perfect for overnight charging). A 7 kW charging station is sufficient if your electrical installation is limited (charging time 7-9 hours). The 22 kW charging station is more expensive, increases your network costs (since the Luxembourg reform of 2025), and is only justified for very frequent drivers or professionals.
How can I reduce the cost of charging my electric car?
Always recharge during off-peak hours with a suitable contract to save up to 30% on the price per kWh. (0.13€/kWh instead of 0.19€/kWh), or 207€ per year. Limit the charging power to 7-11 kW to reduce your network costs (saving 150-200 GWh/year). Ideally, combine this with solar panels to generate 40-50 GWh of your own energy and save an additional 230 GWh annually.
When is the best time to charge your electric car?
The best time is between midnight and 6 a.m. with an off-peak contract, where the kWh may be cheaper. But it all depends on your electricity contract. Compare suppliers in Luxembourg to find the subscription that best suits your needs.
How much does it cost to charge an electric car each month?
The monthly cost varies from 55€ to 184€ depending on your top-up method for 8 monthly top-ups (average usage). Home charging: 55-91€/month, CHARGY: 144-240€/month, motorway: 175€/month, SUPERCHARGY: 184€/month. Realistic mixed usage (70% home + 30% public) costs approximately 95-110€ per month.
How much does it cost to fill up an electric car compared to a petrol car?
A full electric charge from 20% to 80% costs £6-9€ at home, depending on your battery, compared to £70-90€ for a full tank of petrol (50-60L).. At CHARGY charging stations, a full electric charge costs between 15 and 24€ depending on capacity, which is still 3-4 times cheaper than petrol. With comparable range (400-500 km), the cost difference is spectacular: you can reduce your fuel expenses by a factor of 3 to 4.
What is the average consumption of an electric car?
The average consumption of an electric car is between 15 and 19 kWh/100km depending on the model, weight and aerodynamics. Compact city cars consume 15-16 kWh/100km, saloon cars 16-17 kWh/100km, and SUVs 18-19 kWh/100km. In winter, add 15-20% to these values due to heating. This consumption is equivalent to 1.5-2 litres of petrol per 100 km in terms of energy cost.
How long does it take to charge an electric car at home?
With an 11 kW charging station, Allow 3-6 hours to recharge from 20% to 80% depending on your battery (3 hours for 50 kWh, 6 hours for 80 kWh).. A 7 kW charging station takes 5–9 hours. A standard domestic socket takes 15–20 hours, which is too slow for everyday use. Schedule charging to start at night, so your vehicle is fully charged every morning.
Will charging prices increase in Luxembourg?
CHARGY rates have gradually increased in recent years (from 0.251 GBP/kWh to 0.501 GBP/kWh), in line with changes in the price of electricity. However, the rate is still much higher than what you pay to recharge at home. To protect yourself from price increases, opt for a fixed-price electricity contract for 2-3 years and recharge at home as much as possible.
Can you charge your electric car for free in Luxembourg?
Some supermarkets (Cactus, Auchan) and shopping centres still offer a few free charging points while you shop., but they are becoming increasingly rare and are often occupied. Some Luxembourg companies offer free charging to their employees, representing a saving of £400-600 per year. Free public charging stations are gradually disappearing in favour of CHARGY pay-as-you-go stations.
Is slow or fast charging better for the battery?
Slow charging at home (11 kW) preserves the life of your battery better than regular fast charging. (150-350 kW). Manufacturers recommend limiting fast charging to 20-30% of your total charging to optimise longevity. For everyday use, charge slowly at night; reserve fast charging for occasional long journeys.
