Frequently asked questions
General questions about charging electric cars
No.
Spirii’s charging network is open to everyone. This means that you do not need a charging subscription with Spirii to be able to charge your car at our public charging stations. You can use our Spirii Go app to easily charge your electric car and pay directly via the app. We charge a fixed rate of DKK 3/kWh unless otherwise indicated in our app or at the charging point.
If you buy a charging point, however, you will also need to buy one of our operation and service packages: Spirii Connect, which includes servicing and maintenance, reimbursement of the electricity tax and a warranty on the charging point.
You can read more about Spirii Connect here.
If you are standing by a Spirii charging point or charging box and want to start charging your car, you can either use your Spirii Key or the Spirii Go app.
We only charge you for the number of kWh that your car is capable of charging. If your car is fully charged and still connected, you will not be charged any additional amount.
However, we encourage all electric car owners to remove their car as soon as possible after charging so as to avoid unnecessarily blocking others from using the charging point.
Public charging
We collaborate with many different partners in order to expand and improve our public network. The price of charging in Spirii’s public network therefore varies, but we always try to keep it as low as possible. You can view the current electricity price in the Spirii Go app.
Employee charging
If your workplace has a Spirii Connect Business or Connect Pro service package, you can charge your car for a lower rate at your workplace’s charging points compared to public charging points.
Home charging
If you are charging your car from home with a charging box from Spirii, you will pay the rate charged by your electricity supplier. (The average electricity rate in Denmark is DKK 2.2/kWh). With a Spirii Connect Private solution for DKK 79/month, you also receive a reimbursement of the electricity tax you pay for the power you use for charging. The reimbursement rate is DKK 1.12/kWh as of 1 January 2021. We pay out your reimbursement every quarter.
*You can only receive a reimbursement of electricity taxes if you charge your electric car with a charging box with a built-in and approved meter and do not own solar panels or other forms of home-generated electricity that you do not pay electricity taxes on.
Follow the steps below to charge your car with your Spirii Key.
- To open the charging port, place the charging tag on the indicated area on the lid of the charging point
- The charging begins once the charging cables have been inserted into the car and charging point
- Place the charging tag back on the indicated area to stop charging
The charging point will recognise you as being a Spirii customer, and you will receive an invoice for your total monthly consumption at the end of the month.
eRoaming network
Each charging point operator sets their own rates for charging via roaming. You can always view the current rates for roaming in the app. Spirii charges a fixed administration fee of DKK 5 per charge.
Hubject offers roaming with over 200,000 public charging points. Eventually, you will be able to charge your car with all public charging point operators that are on the Hubject platform. We continuously enter into roaming agreements with these charging point operators and add them to our app and network as soon as the agreement is in place.
Not all charging point operators are on the Hubject platform. Even if a charging point operator is on Hubject, we still need to enter into a roaming agreement with the operator before we can enable access to the operator’s charging points.
Each operator is able to set their own rates for charging via roaming. Some operators do not differentiate between their roaming rates and ‘normal’ rates, while others add additional fees to roaming. We try to keep the roaming rates as low as possible through bilateral agreements
When using the Spirii Go app, you pay directly and as soon as you are done charging your car. If you use your Spirii Key charging tag, you will receive an invoice from us
Not yet, but very soon. At the moment, you cannot charge with Spirii when using charging cards from other operators. We are working on allowing our charging points to accept other charging tags/cards and expect to be ready to do so very soon.
