Payment methods
Contactless payment is stated. Pay as you go is described as 'No app or card required' on the United Kingdom price table. App or account named on the page: Allego. The page says the app is not required.
Membership or app deals. Allego Plus is listed at 9.99 €/month and requires the app. Allego Smart is described as a free subscription in the app and also requires the app.
Speed. The pricing page mentions ultrafast charging up to 400kW.
Caveat. These pound-per-kWh figures were copied from the United Kingdom block on Allego's pricing page. The Plus monthly fee is published in euros (9.99 €/month) and has not been converted into pounds.
Idle and overstay fees
21.78p per minute, 45 minute grace period. Allego’s overstay page lists a UK high-power (DC) fee of £0.2178 per minute. It starts after 45 minutes from the start of the session and applies only to minutes when the car is not charging. Worked examples on that page show the grace running from session start, not from the end of the charge, so this fee is not added to the calculator total from idle-after-charge minutes. No cap was published. AC overstay rules on the same page are described for the Netherlands and Brussels only. Source: Allego overstay fee (checked 2026-11-10).
Roaming versus paying the operator
Allego says mobility-service-provider cards can differ because the provider may add subscription fees, roaming charges or mark-ups.
- Zap-Pay: not published — Zapmap’s public help page (modified 23 March 2026) says the price shown when you pay with Zapmap is, wherever possible, the same or similar to the operator’s standard PAYG rate, but that some networks apply higher prices via third-party services such as Zapmap. The public Zap-Pay page does not list a per-network p/kWh table. In-app prices are not copied here.
- Octopus Electroverse: not published — Electroverse says the latest pricing for every network and charging point is displayed in the Electroverse app, and that rates might differ when charging with operators directly. No public per-network p/kWh table was published.
- OVO Charge: not published — OVO says PAYG rates are set by the charging networks and are shown for each charger on Charge Anywhere. No public per-network p/kWh table was published. Light Boost is described as 10% off the PAYG rate set by the networks; that percentage is not turned into a p/kWh figure here.
- Paua: not published — Paua says network prices are live in the Paua app and web map, and that customers pay each network’s standard PAYG or “pump” price. Its help page says it aims for a cost equivalent to or less than the network PAYG price where possible, but that some networks charge a premium and drivers should check the app. No public per-network p/kWh table was published.
