In other cases, your personal card on the designated spot of your card company should work perfectly fine. When in Amsterdam, if you park in a private parking load, you can also charge your electric car. These are the charging points for electric vehicles at all P+R locations in Amsterdam.
Now Amsterdam has one too; a public mobile charge point. In case you’re visiting Amsterdam for a short break and are running out of juice, simply head to the Museumplein, where the brand new Street Charge station is located. You will be able to charge your phone just like you do at home or in your Amsterdam Apartments accommodation.
In order to charge an electric car at a public charging point, you need a pass. You can ask for it online or you can also use your personal charging card. There is no time limit on charging at the charging point and there are many charging companies in the Netherlands. Expect to pay at least 30 cent per kWh.
Same as gas changes depending on the country but also depending on the gas station you choose, electricity depends also on the same factors. The average electricity fee is about €0.22 – €0.23 per kWh in The Netherlands. If you compare this price to the regular private electricity prices at home, it ends up feeling expensive.
The Dutch infrastructure for the supply of electric energy is of high quality and superior performance. You are going to be paying a lot but for a good-quality, high-speed charging spot. The infrastructure for charging electric vehicles (EV’s) is well organized.
Each city has many charging points, some of them also belong to the city. For instance, in the city of AMSTERDAM has its own charging points. The City Hall of Amsterdam recommends Amsterdam citizens (and visitors or locals with cars from Germany, Belgium, France and Sweden) to get a membership card to activate the charging spot.
