The heart of the portal is the charging tariff comparison

The objective of the LOWAGO portal is to create greater transparency with regard to the cost of charging electric vehicles and hence to promote the acceptance of e-mobility as a key pillar of the automotive revolution. The integrated tariff calculator provides a clear comparison of the numerous tariffs of various providers, enabling consumers to choose the ideal tariff to suit their requirements at public charging stations. The calculation takes into account the vehicle type as well as the average distances driven. The search function can also be further refined by means of individual filters.

Pivotal function in the extended e-mobility ecosystem

The LOWAGO platform networks a variety of market participants on a B2B basis and at the same time forges a link with the consumer. For this reason in particular, the user-friendliness aspect and the creation of a convincing customer experience were of key importance while developing the platform. The user experience is enriched with an offering of information that offers genuine added value. In addition to the tariff calculator, it also includes a list of providers, a search function for charging stations and a blog section.
