Milence —the joint venture formed by Daimler Truck, Traton Group and Volvo Group— is moving into a new phase in the development of its public charging network for heavy-duty electric vehicles across Europe.
The company currently operates 30 public truck charging stations in eight countries, with France as its strongest market, where ten hubs are already active.
Until now, all eurozone customers paid a uniform tariff of 0.399 €/kWh for high-power charging, mirrored by a similar structure in the United Kingdom (0.399 £/kWh).
That strategy, Milence explains, was designed to accelerate early adoption by offering simple and predictable pricing to first-mover fleets.
However, as the market matures and regional energy costs continue to diverge, the company will transition to country-specific tariffs starting next year.
“Since the start of operations, Milence has offered competitive pan-European prices to support early market uptake. The next logical step is to introduce market-based, country-specific pricing,” the company stated.
This shift, they argue, reflects the real cost of energy, local taxes, and network fees in each market and aligns with EU policy and industry best practices.
New tariffs across Europe (VAT excluded), effective 1 January 2026:
| Country | Price |
|---|---|
| Netherlands | 0.399 €/kWh |
| Germany | 0.399 €/kWh |
| Belgium | 0.379 €/kWh |
| Italy | 0.399 €/kWh |
| Spain | 0.339 €/kWh |
| France | 0.339 €/kWh |
| United Kingdom | 0.399 £/kWh |
| Denmark | 2.799 DKK/kWh |
| Sweden | 3.699 SEK/kWh |
Germany, the Netherlands and Italy will keep their current pricing.
Belgium will see a slight reduction, while Spain and France will offer the lowest tariffs in the entire network.
Milence also clarifies that these rates do not apply to contract-based partners, and that final pricing may vary depending on the eMSP used by each operator.
A pricing model aligned with fleet needs
For the company, the new tariff structure is a key element in supporting the transition of long-haul transport towards electrification.
Roel Vissers, Chief Commercial Officer at Milence, highlighted:
“Decarbonising road freight requires more than isolated charging points. It demands availability on strategic corridors, reliability, and economic viability. With our growing network in France and other key European markets, Milence is enabling fleets to adopt electric transport with confidence.”
“Our competitive pricing model reflects real-world conditions and creates the right environment for operators.”
The company will continue expanding its presence in core freight corridors, with a focus on high-capacity charging, cross-border interoperability, and predictable operational costs for logistics operators.
