How to Pay at Ionity in Sweden

Ionity in Sweden accepts the Ionity app, contactless bank cards, and Plug & Charge. Since Sweden uses SEK, contactless card payment is the simplest approach, as your bank converts from EUR automatically. Swedish charging cards with roaming access also work at Ionity.

Ionity charges about 0.75 EUR per kWh at ad-hoc rates. The Swedish DC average is around 0.50 EUR per kWh, making Ionity about 60% more expensive. Home electricity in Sweden averages roughly 0.15 EUR per kWh, so Ionity fast charging is roughly five times the home rate.

Tips for Charging with Ionity in Sweden

• Sweden uses SEK. Ionity prices in EUR, so your bank handles the conversion when paying by card.
