Everywhere under power.
Europe-wide e-fuelling with Westfalen.

Charging e-cars on the road almost everywhere: The e-roaming charging network makes it possible.

The expansion of the charging infrastructure is progressing rapidly. Over 100 charging station operators currently share the German market. Similar to mobile phone operators, they join together in so-called roaming networks. In this way, the charging stations are optimally utilised and e-car drivers on the road are reliably supplied with charging power.

The best thing about it: you only need one charging card to be able to fill up with electricity almost anywhere.

Take off with full power: with the Westfalen Service Card + eCharge.

Businesses can already use the Westfalen Service Card + eCharge to charge their commercial e-cars on the road at over 200,000 charging points. More charging stations are being added all the time. Because our goal is to offer entrepreneurs and fleet managers maximum supply security while keeping their administrative workload as minimal as possible.

Westfalen Service Card + eCharge: multifunctional and multifaceted.

The perfect Fleet card for entrepreneurs and fleet managers:

Find an electric charging station near you: It's that easy.

Either use our practical filling station finder to find a Westfalen or Markant filling station with a charging point or use the Westfalen eCharge app. In addition to the charging stations of the Westfalen Group, the app lists the charging points of all eRoaming partners.

Advantages for operators of electric vehicle fleets.

Maximum security ofsupply.

The number of public chargingpoints for electricvehicles is steadily increasing. According to Bundesnetzagentur, there are well over 50,000 normal charging points and around 10,000 fast charging stationsopento the public in Germany (as of 08/2022). The trend is steadily increasing: Bundesnetzagentur - Ladesäulenkarte.

Minimum effort.

The Westfalen Service Card + eCharge bundles all electricity charges - regardless of whether the e-car is charged on the road, at work or at home at your employees' wallbox. It also records all fossil fuel refuellings and car washesand brings themtogether in a clear monthly invoice. This savestime and personnel.

Optimal cost transparency.

Pricedifferences from charging point to chargingpoint are not uncommon. Depending on the operator and and the type of charging station, prices can vary greatly. It is difficult to keep track of them all. That's why we offer commercial operators and fleetmanagers chargingpower at fair standard prices.

Fast charging points at Westfalen Group filling stations.

A fast and reliable charging network is the basis for the success of e-mobility. That is why the Westfalen Group is investing in the expansion of the charging infrastructure and successively equipping more filling stations with fast-charging stations for electric cars.

You can fill up with 100 percent green electricity at our filling stations with charging points.

Enjoy charging times in a relaxed way: At our filling stations with charging station.

Use the charging time for a personal energy kick in one of our bistros. Our petrol station finder shows you which services are offered at which station.

This is how recharging and paying on the road works at our petrol stations.

Authorise yourself at the charging station with the Westfalen eCharge App or the Westfalen Service Card + eCharge.
Connect the e-car to the charging pole using the charging cable.
After a short time, the charging process starts automatically.
To stop the charging process, hold the Westfalen Service Card + eCharge in front of the reader again or end the process in the app.
Disconnect the charging cable.

Private individuals either pay with a credit card by first scanning the QR code on the charging pole. Alternatively, payment is also possible with a non-commercial network card from an eRoaming partner.

How long does it take to charge an e-car?

Whether you charge slowly, quickly or ultra-fast depends primarily on the type of charging station and its charging power. It is also influenced by the following factors.

Plug type: While the Type 2 plug is suitable for normal charging, you can use the CCS plug for fast charging.
Battery capacity: Cars with a larger battery capacity can store more energy, but they also take longer to charge.
Battery charge level: Your car reaches the highest charging speeds when the battery is charged between 20 - 80 %.
Outdoor temperature: The optimal temperature for your battery is around 20 C°. Similar to a mobile phone, the battery will run down faster and charge longer at higher or lower temperatures.

FAQ - Your questions - Our answers.

What is the difference between AC charging and DC charging?

To charge electric vehicles, the public alternating current must be converted into direct current.

With DC charging, the conversion takes place directly in the fast charging station. DC charging is therefore much faster, but is associated with higher costs due to the more sophisticated technology. A special charging cable is required, which is located at the charging station.

AC charging takes longer because the public alternating current must first be converted into direct current by the vehicle. This takes more time, but is also easier on the battery. The charging cable required for this is usually carried in the e-car.

What do the kilowatt indications on the charging points mean?

The charging capacity of a charging station is given in kilowatts (kW). At a fast charging station (DC charging station), you can charge your electric vehicle with up to 350 kilowatts, which is significantly faster than at a normal charging station (22 kilowatts).

How long does it take to charge an electric car at a public fast charging station?

The charging time of an e-car can be calculated quite simply using the following formula:

Charging time = (battery capacity ÷ charging power) x 1.3

This is illustrated with an example:

The VW ID 4 has a battery capacity of 77 kWh. It is charged at a 150 kW charging station.

(77 kW ÷ 150 kW) x 1.3 = 66 minutes

According to this, the VW ID 4 with a battery capacity of 77 kilowatt hours only needs a good hour to fully charge at a 150 kW charging station. But: In winter, the charging time can be longer depending on the outside temperature.
