What is dynamic pricing?
At StromNow, we intentionally use dynamic pricing instead of fixed flat rates per kWh. This means that charging prices in our app are flexible and can vary depending on the location, the charging station operator (CPO – Charge Point Operator), and current market conditions.
Our prices are based on the actual wholesale costs we receive from the charging infrastructure operators. These tariffs may vary by provider, region, or due to changes in energy prices.
Why does StromNow use dynamic pricing?
1. More transparency
Instead of applying a general average price (as many others do), we show you the actual price for each charging station. That means you can see before charging:
What the session will cost at that exact location
Whether another nearby station might be cheaper
How prices vary between operators
No hidden costs – full transparency.
2. Fair pricing
Other providers often charge a flat rate that averages out expensive and cheap locations — and you, the user, cover the difference. We don’t believe in that.
With StromNow:
You pay the real price for the specific charging point
No cross-subsidization between locations
3. More control for you
You’ll always see all prices directly in the app, so you can make an informed decision on where to charge. Found a cheaper spot? Great. Is one operator more expensive? Maybe there’s a better alternative nearby.
How often do prices change?
Most CPOs update their prices only 1–2 times per year. So even though our pricing is dynamic, it doesn’t change constantly — usually just small monthly adjustments, for example:
New rates from a particular provider
AC or DC price updates
Market-related shifts (like electricity cost changes)
Will I be notified of price changes?
No explicit notifications are sent, because:
Dynamic pricing is covered in our Terms of Use
The subscription agreement (e.g. Gold or Platinum Pass) applies to the benefits of the subscription itself, not fixed charging prices
The current price is always shown in the app before starting a charging session
Summary: Dynamic = fair, transparent, and flexible
We’ve chosen not to use flat-rate pricing because we want to make the market more transparent and user-focused. With StromNow, you’ll always see the exact cost upfront – so you’re in control, with no surprises.
