Allego has started a cashback promotion at 250 of its fast-charging sites, 200 in Germany and 50 in France. From 15 October to 31 December 2026, every kilowatt-hour started and paid through the Allego app at a participating site earns 20 cents back. The money is not taken off the session; it lands afterwards as credit in the app's wallet, with no code and no claim form.
What the effective prices are
Allego's German app tariffs are unchanged since the summer cut: 59 ct/kWh on the free Smart tariff and 39 ct/kWh on Allego Plus, which costs €9.99 a month. The cashback sits on top of both.
| Allego tariff, Germany | List price | After 20 ct cashback |
|---|---|---|
| Allego Smart (free) | 59 ct/kWh | 39 ct/kWh |
| Allego Plus (€9.99 a month) | 39 ct/kWh | 19 ct/kWh |
| Ad hoc, card at the charger | 76 ct/kWh | not eligible |
Allego's worked example assumes 20 kWh per 100 km: a Plus subscriber pays €3.80 per 100 km in energy, against €11.80 at the Smart list price. That sum leaves out the €9.99 monthly fee, and the credit is worth something only when it is spent on later Allego sessions. The announcement does not say whether a wallet balance can be paid out, and it gives effective prices for Germany only.
Where it applies
- 250 sites with, by Allego's count, more than 1,000 ultra-fast charge points, flagged in the app.
- Only sessions started and paid in the Allego app count. Charging cards and roaming tariffs are excluded.
- The credit is posted after the session; the processing runs with Deftpower.
Allego operates more than 35,000 AC and DC charge points in 16 European countries, so 250 sites is a selected slice, not the network.
Against the Supercharger
The comparison a Tesla owner will make is with Tesla's own German tariffs. When Tesla cut German Supercharger prices in September, peak rates fell to 36 to 39 ct/kWh at many sites and the cheapest off-peak window reached 20 ct/kWh, with no subscription needed for Tesla drivers.
| Cheapest German DC rates on offer | Rate | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Allego Plus with cashback | 19 ct/kWh | €9.99 a month, app payment, credit paid afterwards, until 31 December |
| Tesla Supercharger, Magdeburg-Rothensee off-peak | 20 ct/kWh | 23:00 to 09:00, that site only |
| Tesla Supercharger, typical peak after the September cut | 36 to 39 ct/kWh | many sites, no subscription for Tesla drivers |
| Allego Smart with cashback | 39 ct/kWh | app payment, credit paid afterwards, until 31 December |
Allego's 19 cents is the first mainstream German fast-charging rate under Tesla's 20-cent floor, with three caveats: it is a promotional rate for eleven weeks, it needs the paid plan, and it arrives as store credit rather than a lower bill. On the free tariff, Allego's 39 cents matches the top of Tesla's peak band. Allego's chargers are CCS and open to every car, so a Model 3 or Model Y needs only the app. For context, EnBW's YOY plan charges 43 ct/kWh for €5.99 a month and Ionity's subscription floor moved to 41 ct/kWh in July.
What to check before you rely on it
Jean Gadrat, Allego's chief marketing officer, argues that at an effective 19 cents, fast charging can be cheaper than charging at home in many markets. That is true of the number and misleading as a rule. By TeslAnt's arithmetic, a Plus subscriber who charges 100 kWh a month at participating sites pays €9.99 plus €19 in energy, just under 29 ct/kWh all in. At 50 kWh a month the same driver pays close to 39 ct/kWh, which is what the free tariff with cashback already costs. Below that volume the paid plan buys nothing. So 19 cents is the rate for someone who drives a lot, charges mostly at Allego, and keeps the app open until the credit is used.
