Five steps — and you're on your way

  1. Park and plug in

    Park and plug the charging cable into your car.

  2. Choose how to start

    Payment card, RFID card or key fob, Spirii Go, or another provider's app through roaming.

  3. Follow the screen

    Follow the instructions on the charger's screen or in the app. Charging starts.

  4. Stop charging

    On the screen, in the app or in the car — when you have the range you need.

  5. Put the plug back

    Put the plug back in its holder on the charger, ready for the next driver.

Charge from 20 to 80 %. It's fastest and gentlest on the battery. A nearly full battery charges slowly. Keep an eye on your charge and let others have a turn — don't charge for more than 30 minutes.

No app? No problem.

You can pay at the charger — or start with whatever you have in your pocket.

  • Payment card — Visa and Mastercard at the charger. You pay in Danish kroner, and the card issuer may add a fee.

  • RFID card or key fob — hold the card or fob against the charger; it identifies you and charging starts.

  • Spirii Go or QR code — scan the QR code on the screen and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or MobilePay.

  • Roaming — start with another provider's app. The price and terms are shown in the app you use.

Everything on your phone

With Spirii Go you can find the charger, see the current price, check availability, start and stop charging and get the receipt in the app. The app takes Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, among others.

EV-EL uses Spirii, a Danish company that makes software for EV charging. With the app you can charge with any operator, in Denmark and abroad. You register as a user with Spirii — EV-EL has no access to that information.

Get the most out of fast charging

Your car largely decides how fast it can charge. Charging speed depends on, among other things:

  • the car's maximum charging power

  • the battery's temperature

  • the battery's current charge level

  • whether another car is using the same charger

  • the car's own charging curve

Most cars charge fastest when the battery isn't nearly full. So consider stopping once you have the range you need, freeing the charger for the next driver. No CHAdeMO: the Nissan Leaf and other cars with CHAdeMO cannot charge at EV-EL.

What people ask most

How do I start charging?

Park, plug in, and start with a payment card at the charger, your RFID card or key fob, Spirii Go, or another provider's app through roaming. Follow the instructions on the screen — charging starts, and you stop it on the screen, in the app or in the car.

How fast will I charge?

The chargers deliver up to 240 kW on one plug, both in Struer and at Hans Knudsens Plads. The actual speed depends on the car's maximum charging power, the battery's temperature and charge level, the car's charging curve, and whether another car is using the same charger. 120 kW for 15 minutes gives about 30 kWh — around 150 km for most cars.

Why do you recommend charging from 20 to 80 %?

It's fastest and gentlest on the battery. A nearly full battery charges slowly, so the charger is busy for a long time for little power. Keep an eye on your charge, let others have a turn, and don't charge for more than 30 minutes.

Can two cars charge at once?

Yes, the chargers have two plugs. Power is shared automatically by how much each battery can take. A car that connects while another is charging at high power gets the spare capacity, which grows as more becomes free.
