Lade dein E-Auto beim Wocheneinkauf! Superladen zeigt dir Ladestationen an unterstützten Supermärkten in Deutschland und hilft dir, schnell den passenden Supermarkt-Parkplatz zu finden. Auf der Karte erkennst du auf einen Blick, ob Ladepunkte verfügbar, belegt oder außer Betrieb sind. Öffne eine Station, um Steckertyp, Ladeleistung, Preisangabe und Öffnungszeiten zu prüfen. Wenn alles passt startest du direkt eine Route in Apple Maps. Deine Stationen kannst du als Favoriten speichern und nach Name, Datum oder Entfernung sortieren. Mit optionalem Standortzugriff zeigt Superladen deine Position auf der Karte und erleichtert das Finden nahegelegener Ladepunkte. Funktionen: • Ladestationen übersichtlich auf einer Karte finden • Aktuelle Verfügbarkeit der Ladepunkte erkennen • Status, Steckertyp, Ladeleistung und Preisangabe prüfen • Öffnungszeiten und Hinweise zum nächsten Öffnen oder Schließen sehen • Fahrzeit anzeigen und die Route in Apple Karten starten • Stationen als Favoriten speichern und flexibel sortieren • Helle und dunkle Darstellung (Dark-Mode) Für die Nutzung ist kein Konto erforderlich. Hinweis: Die angezeigten Stationsdaten stammen vom jeweiligen Betreiber und können sich kurzfristig ändern. Prüfe im Zweifel die Angaben an der Ladestation. Superladen ist ein unabhängiges Projekt, dass Laden und Einkaufen verbinden möchte, und steht in keiner Verbindung zu ALDI SÜD oder anderen Supermarkt-Ketten.

What does charging cost here? ChargeIndex shows the ad-hoc price per kWh at charging stations right on the map before you arrive, and works as an EV route planner that picks charging stops by price, detour and charging time. Charge cheaper across Europe. Account optional. CHARGING PRICES ON THE MAP At every charging station with a published price you see the kWh price for spontaneous charging, with or without a charging card. Colour shows charging power: green for AC, blue for DC, orange for HPC fast chargers. Filter by maximum price and power and compare chargers near you. CHOOSE YOUR CHARGING CARD The common charging cards are built in, any others you add yourself: per country, for AC and DC, by power. You see the cheapest matching price, card or ad-hoc, and what you really pay at the charger. Price comparison made simple. EV ROUTE PLANNER Enter start, destination, car and battery level and ChargeIndex picks the charging stops that fit your budget and your time. A slider sets how many minutes a saved euro is worth to you. The consumption model accounts for elevation, speed and regeneration, and charging time follows your car's charging curve (650+ models). Every stop comes with several alternatives. With an account you also get route variants: faster, cheaper or ad-hoc only. Hand the route to Apple Maps, Google Maps, HERE WeGo or export it as a GPX file. AT THE CHARGING STATION • Live availability where the operator provides it • Free parking bays where known • Scan the QR code and charge ad hoc • Route there in Apple Maps, Google Maps or HERE WeGo • Trip Copilot: live guidance along your route • Tesla Supercharger: estimated price for Tesla drivers, switchable to other brands • Reviews: toilets, food, motorhome access YOUR GARAGE Save your cars and enter your own consumption. Keep stations and routes, and the analysis shows what your planned charging stops cost. With Apple or Google sign-in, garage, charging cards and settings follow you to any device. You can delete your account in the app at any time. DATA FROM OFFICIAL SOURCES Prices come from national access points for charging data (AFIR) and operator feeds. Best covered: Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Poland. In other European countries prices are partly incomplete. Prices and availability may differ from what you find at the charger.
