Start for Expanded E-Charging Station Directory
"Many will soon be going on vacation. To quickly find the right charging station along the way, the new services now help e-mobilists. The charging station directory provides real-time information on where the next charging station is, whether it is available, and what it costs. Austria is a European leader with this information offering and thus a true pioneer," said State Secretary Elisabeth Zehetner at the presentation of the e-charging station directory.
Extended Information Obligations Improve E-Charging Station Directory
"With these updates, e-car drivers in Austria now have independent and objective access to all the information online that they have always urgently wanted: Transparent information about contract tariffs, information on the status of all publicly accessible charging points, and the charging prices payable with their own charging card or via ad-hoc," says E-Control board member Wolfgang Urbantschitsch. Operators of charging stations previously only had to report their locations. Additional details such as plug types or charging power were voluntary. With the Austrian charging point data regulation and the European AFIR, the obligations have been expanded. In the e-charging station directory, e-mobilists now find information about the availability of charging points, plug types, charging power, ad-hoc prices, and additional offers such as gastronomy or roofing.

Charging Tariff Calculator Synchronized with E-Charging Station Directory
The data available since 2023 from the charging tariff calculator is now linked with the directory of charging stations. Users of electric vehicles can compare the various offers of charging contracts and charging cards in the charging tariff calculator and save their own charging card. Those who now log in to www.ladestellen.at with the same login data can see which of the publicly accessible charging stations are compatible with their own card and check the prices of the charging process with their card's tariff compared to the ad-hoc price.
