How to charge your electric vehicle in Gothenburg

EV charging in Gothenburg

Our app for charging, Ladda Din Elbil, isn't always available for some who are visiting from abroad. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try via our web version instead. To change language from Swedish, click on the +4U button in the upper right corner.

Transition to Parkering Göteborg

During the winter and spring months of 2023, our normal chargers (up to 22kW) are migrating from our app Ladda Din Elbil to Parkering Göteborg. During this period, you'll have to pay careful attention to the signs in the parking spot to determine which app to use.

The stations for fast charging will remain with Göteborg Energi, and you'll continue to use Ladda Din Elbil for charging.

Downloading Ladda Din Elbil

With our app Ladda Din Elbil you can locate available chargers, start/stop charging and pay for charging in Gothenburg.

About public charging

There are more than 1 000 public charging points in Gothenburg, which makes us one of the most accessible cities in Scandinavia when it comes to public charging. 

How the app works

1. Locate charging station

Select a charging station by either tapping and dragging the map, scanning the QR code or searching for a charging station by selecting the magnifying glass.

2 Create an account

When you charge via the app, there are advantages if you choose to register an account. There are several less steps when paying next time, you don't have to state your email adress more than once and we will not reserve an amount on your payment card.

You register an account when you are in the process of charging at one of our stations. When you're making the payment, make sure you tick the box ”Save card for next charging session”, then verify and name your chosen payment card. The payment card needs to be open for international payment.

3. At the charging station

Once you've found an available charging spot, in the app, click Start charging, choose an amount limit and click Proceed to payment.

You'll find the current charging price in the app or on goteborgenergi.se/laddpriser.

A charging spot marked as green is available, if it's marked pink the charging spot is temporarily unavailable.

4. Stop charging

Make sure you also stop charging via the app, and not the car's own system. Some chargers can't interpret the command from the car's system and you might not be able to disconnect the charging cable.
