Charging at Milence hubs
Where can I find a listing of Milence locations?
You can view our operational, upcoming, and planned locations at milence.com/network or in the Milence app.
Are there vehicle restrictions at Milence locations?
Milence charging sites are only accessible to electric trucks. The sites cater for various lengths of trailers and goods. Passenger cars cannot charge at our locations.
Do I need to make a reservation?
Reservations aren't required. In 2025, booking is rolling out to selected sites, but ad-hoc arrivals remain welcome depending on availability.
Can I leave my truck overnight while charging?
Yes, Milence accommodates legally required breaks (45 minutes and overnight stays), recognizing trucks cannot move during these periods.
Should I move my truck once fully charged?
If your truck is sufficiently charged and your break time is over, it is good etiquette to move your truck to free up the charging bay for others.
The charging session does not start. What should I do?
First, ensure the cable is connected to your truck. Check your payment method and account funds if using a bank card. For eMSP cards, contact your provider. For Milence Charge Cards or persistent issues, call the support number on the charger.
I cannot unplug the charging cable!
Confirm the session has stopped via your app or the charger display. Try unlocking the connector through your truck's charging screen. If issues persist, contact support at the number on the charger.
Milence App
Is the Milence app free?
Yes, the Milence app can be downloaded and used for free.
What information does the app provide?
The Milence app provides information about operational sites, real-time charger availability, and hub amenities within our network.
Which phone operating systems are supported?
The Milence app is available for Android 5.0 (API level 21) or newer, and iOS 13.4 or newer.
Milence Charge Card
Can I use the cards immediately after receiving them?
Yes, the cards are pre-activated and ready to use immediately. You can check their status in the Milence Portal.
Do I need to register the cards in the Portal?
No registration needed. Cards appear automatically once shipped. You can optionally add reference labels like license plates or driver names.
What if a card is lost or stolen?
Set the token to "Blocked" in your Portal Tokens tab. Contact sales@milence.com to request a replacement. We will ensure you can continue charging.
Payment and tariffs
What payment options are supported?
Pay with bank/credit cards via the payment terminal, Milence Charge Cards, or various eMSP charge cards and apps at the charger.
What does it cost to charge at Milence?
Tariffs vary by country and are displayed transparently in the app, at stations, and online. eMSP customers pay according to their provider contract terms.
Why is an amount reserved on my bank account?
Before the session starts, €199 (excl. VAT) is reserved since the session duration is unknown upfront. The final amount is settled immediately after the session ends.
Can I get a monthly invoice?
Milence Charge Card holders receive automatic monthly invoices. Bank card payments provide QR-linked receipts at the terminal. eMSP users should contact their provider.

Will using the booking solution cost extra?
