Your guide to ultra fast electric vehicle charging stations.
How to charge your electric car at our ultra-fast charging stations across the UK and Europe.
What are ultra-fast charging stations?
Ultra-fast, or ultra-rapid charging stations are public chargers for electric cars that have speeds of between 100kW to 350kW. This means that you can charge your electric car up to a 100 mile range in as little as 10 minutes.
Ultra-rapid chargers boast the fastest electric vehicle charging times, but it's important to check whether your electric car is compatible with these chargers.
There are ultra-fast charging stations for electric cars across the UK and EU, with the number growing all the time.
How do I use an ultra-fast charging station?
Our EV charging points are plug in and go. All you need to do is:
Lift the charging cable from the holder.
Connect it to the charging socket on your vehicle.
Select the socket type from the selection shown on the charge point screen.
Pay using one of the methods available.
When you're using an ultra-fast rapid charger make sure you're using it safely:
Always follow your vehicle's charging instructions.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, don't use the EV charge point if the cable or charge point appears damaged.
How do I pay for an ultra-fast charge?
There are four easy ways you can pay at an E.ON charging station:
Paying with contactless or a smartphone.
Follow the instructions on the charge point touch screen and hold your contactless credit or debit card or smartphone against the payment terminal at the top of the reader.
We also support payment by Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Paying with an E.ON RFID card or tag.
Place your E.ON RFID card or tag against the reader to start. You must ensure your card is placed at the bottom of the reader and not on the contactless card reader at the top.
Paying with Pay As You Go.
Go to eonevpay.co.uk and enter the unique location code shown on the charge point (this is also shown on the map in the E.ON Drive App). Enter your credit card details and follow the online instructions.
Don't close the web page as you'll need it to stop charging.
How to end charging with an ultra-rapid charger?
That depends on the payment method you use to start the charge:
Stop charging with contactless or smartphone.
To stop charging, push the stop button on the touch screen. This will release the cable and allow you to disconnect it from your vehicle.
Stop charging with an E.ON RFID card or tag.
Hold your E.ON RFID card against the reader again to release the charging cable.
Stop charging with Pay As You Go.
Select stop charging on the webpage. This will also release the charging cable and allow you to disconnect it from your vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
What type of connectors can be used, and will there be one supplied with the charge points?
Our UFC stations support CHAdeMO and CCS connectors and tethered cables are provided.
If you have a Type 2 connector, please visit eondrive.co.uk/map to find the nearest Type 2 charger.
If you're unsure which connector is suitable for the vehicle you're charging, please refer to your vehicle manufacturer's user guide.
Can charge points be reserved through the E.ON Home App?
No, this feature isn't currently available, but we'll let you know when it is.
How fast are your Ultra-Fast Charging (UFC) stations and how long does it take to charge a vehicle?
The power of our charge point supply will depend on the type of vehicle and the current demand on the electricity grid, however our UFC stations can deliver up to 175 kW of power.
How long it takes to charge your electric vehicle will vary depending on the speed of the charge point, the charging unit on the vehicle and how much energy there's left in the battery.
How can I find out how much it costs to charge a vehicle?
The price per kWh will be displayed on the charge point touch screen. If you want to plan your stop, you'll find the price in kWh by each charge point location on the charge point map in the E.ON Drive App.
When you've finished charging, we'll send an email to your registered email address to confirm how much we've charged to your account.
If you've chosen to pay using Pay As You Go using the website eonevpay.co.uk, the cost per kWh will be shown before you enter your payment details and you'll get an email to confirm how much we've charged to your account when you finish charging.
When you pay using a contactless debit or credit card, the cost per kWh will be shown on the charge point. When you finish charging the total amount to be charged to your card will be on the charge point display screen.
What should I do if a UFC station doesn't work?
If you're a registered E.ON Drive customer, check that you have enough funds in your account to cover the cost of charging your vehicle.
