Charging at home

Charging at home from 20 to 80%

On the residential tariff, the time makes no difference: the same price at any hour. With an EV meter, charge in its off-peak hours (0h00 to 6h00, also noon to 4pm and all day on Sunday).

Residential tariff
€0.1450/kWh, typical band for a home with an electric car		7.03 €
EV meter, off-peak
€0.1298/kWh, 0h00 to 6h00, noon to 4pm and Sundays		6.30 €
EV meter, other hours
€0.1450/kWh: added to the home’s consumption		7.03 €
Residential tariff

With 10,000 km a year, always charging at home costs about €255 on the residential tariff and €228 with an EV meter: you save 27 € a year. The EV meter has its own monthly charge (€4 single-phase, €6 three-phase), and it also stops the car pushing the whole home into a dearer band.

Prices including 5% VAT, Enemalta residential bands and EV meter tariff, checked on 2026-10. Service charge not included. Includes 10% charging losses.
