In most of Europe, the cheapest fast charge on offer is a Tesla Supercharger off-peak, even at the price Tesla charges drivers of other brands. That is the main finding for Tesla in the second edition of a twice-yearly price comparison by Eleport, a fast-charging operator in central and eastern Europe. The report was published on 27 October 2026, with every price read during October.
Eleport and its research partner EVwire went through more than 550 operator listings in 29 countries and ranked 447 of them. Each operator is ranked by its lowest price without a subscription, paid by card or in a free app, at DC chargers of 50 kW and above, including VAT. The country median uses the middle of each operator's price range.
Tesla starts cheapest in 23 countries
Tesla opens at least some of its Superchargers to other brands in 27 of the 29 countries. In Bulgaria and Latvia they still serve Teslas only. In 23 of the 27, the lowest off-peak price Tesla shows other brands in its app is the cheapest fast-charging price Eleport found. In Italy, Tesla shares that spot with the A22 Brenner motorway network at €0.38.
The four exceptions:
- Austria: Lidl starts at €0.29 in its app.
- Czechia: E.ON Drive starts at CZK 8.00 for registered users, against Tesla's CZK 9.00.
- Netherlands: NXT50Five starts at €0.40, against Tesla's €0.42.
- Estonia: Tesla's three sites start at €0.43.
The cheap end is narrow. Tesla prices by site and by hour, and its peak price is often the highest in the country: 93p in the UK, €0.87 in Luxembourg, €0.85 in Belgium and NOK 9.10 in Norway. Taken at the middle of its range, Tesla is still below the national median in 20 of the 27 countries.

Where the rest of Europe stands
The median across all 29 countries is €0.55 per kWh, up from €0.54 in March. Finland is the cheapest market at €0.35, followed by Estonia (€0.37), Bulgaria (€0.39), Lithuania (€0.40) and Latvia (€0.41). The UK is the most expensive at 73.50p (€0.87), then Italy (€0.74), Ireland (€0.71), the Netherlands and Switzerland (both €0.70).
Supermarkets are among the cheapest options. Lidl is ranked in 20 countries, and its best price is below the national median in 19 of them. Payment matters too: of the 237 listings that publish both a card price and a free-app price, 158 charge more by card, typically about 11% more.
Peak prices are the catch
The off-peak advantage depends on when you charge, and peak prices have been moving up. In Poland, Tesla raised peak prices at 17 of 19 Superchargers in October. In Norway, drivers of other brands marked the Supercharger down on price in this year's satisfaction survey. In Denmark, a separate autumn survey found Tesla's prices unchanged while most other networks rose.
The figures are a snapshot. Eleport read them in October, and Tesla changes Supercharger prices by site and time of day, so the app shows the only current price. Eleport runs its own chargers in six of the countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia and Croatia. It puts its own prices below the national median in three of them, level in one and two cents above in two.
