LadestationGuru is the German-language comparison portal for public charging stations and charging providers for electric cars, with an English-language sister site at chargemap24.com for the international market. While the topic of a private wallbox is mainly about buying and installing a charger at home, ladestationguru.de focuses on the other side of everyday EV charging: charging on the go, at public charging points, motorway service stations, car parks and supermarket parking lots.
The portal compares the major charging network operators and roaming providers using criteria that matter to EV drivers in daily life: price per kilowatt-hour, idle fees for staying connected too long after charging finishes, billing models via app or charging card, and the availability of high-power fast chargers along major long-distance routes. On longer journeys in particular, choosing the right charging provider and tariff is crucial, since the cost per kilowatt-hour can vary considerably between different providers and roaming networks. LadestationGuru helps users find the charging tariff that fits their own driving profile - whether a frequent motorway driver, a commuter topping up regularly in the city, or an occasional user who rarely charges in public.
Beyond the pure provider comparison, the site reports on the density of charging locations from different networks in specific regions, the compatibility of charging cards and roaming alliances, and new fast-charging hubs being built along motorways. The portal is aimed at all electric car drivers who need to charge outside their own home regularly or occasionally, as well as at people considering buying an electric car who want to know how well developed the public charging infrastructure actually is in their region.
For international comparisons, LadestationGuru points to its English sister site chargemap24.com, so users outside German-speaking countries can also find relevant information on charging providers. With LadestationGuru, the often confusing market of charging providers becomes easy to navigate, without having to research every single charging station individually.
ChargeMap24 brings order to the fragmented EV charging landscape of Tesla, Ionity, EnBW and dozens of other networks by combining stations worldwide on one continuously updated map. Drivers can filter by location, power output and network instead of checking multiple apps.
