Open the mapEssent EV Charging Network Overview
Essent provides EV charging primarily in the Netherlands. Their network focuses on slower AC charging, suitable for overnight top-ups or destination charging, rather than rapid charging for long road trips. Coverage extends to several other European countries.
Essent's network includes 537 public charging points, with 535 of them being slower AC chargers under 50 kW. The hardware here suggests their stations are best used for destination, workplace, or overnight charging, not for quick stops on long journeys. Only two stations offer rapid charging between 50 and 149 kW, and there are no ultra-rapid 150 kW+ chargers in their database. The majority of their network is located in the Netherlands, with Amsterdam having the most chargers at 227. Other countries with Essent coverage include Switzerland, Austria, Malta, Luxembourg, and Denmark. You will encounter several connector types, including Type 2 (Socket Only), CEE 7/4 - Schuko - Type F, CHAdeMO, and CCS (Type 2). Given the prevalence of slower charging, plan accordingly for longer charging times when using this network. Always check the displayed price and availability before connecting your vehicle.
- What kind of charging speeds does Essent offer?
- Essent's network predominantly features slower AC charging points under 50 kW. There are 535 such chargers. They offer only two rapid chargers capable of 50-149 kW and no ultra-rapid chargers above 150 kW. This makes their network ideal for destination or overnight charging, not quick top-ups on long trips.
- Where is the Essent charging network located?

- Is Essent suitable for long road trips?
- No, Essent's network is not primarily designed for road trips. With 535 out of 537 chargers being slower AC units and no ultra-rapid options, charging times will be extended. It is best suited for shorter trips where charging can occur over several hours, like at a destination or workplace.
- How do I pay for charging with Essent?
- While specific payment methods can vary, most EV charging networks accept contactless payments or require a dedicated app or RFID card. It is always recommended to check the charging unit itself or the network's app for the most current pricing and payment instructions before you begin charging.
