The best price-quality ratio in EV charging

A shopping cart with a tall, modern electronic device inside. A blue burst shape displays “€00,00.” The background is light blue, and there is a blue pluq logo in the lower left corner.

Dutch businesses love a great deal, especially when it delivers value without the hassle. At Pluq, we see this every day: companies are actively searching for the best EV charging solution for their business that combines long-term reliability with the right price tag. In this article, we break down why Pluq offers what we believe is the best price-to-quality ratio in the EV charging market.

Why Price-Quality Matters in Business Charging

Entrepreneurs are always seeking the best value for their investment. In today’s world, where sustainability and ESG reporting are more important than ever, companies are turning to eco-friendly mobility solutions that don’t break the bank and create extra hassle.

There are EV chargers for every budget, ranging from €600 to €90,000, with brands promising a wide range of features. But in reality, most are average, and malfunctions are common.

At Pluq, we’re brand-agnostic but prefer to work with Dutch manufacturer Alfen. While slightly more expensive, Alfen chargers are also more reliable and less prone to errors. We also believe every charger should have a display that shows real-time data: how much you’re charging and what it costs.

Here’s the kicker: with Pluq, you pay nothing — not for the chargers, not for the installation, and not for the maintenance.

A better price-quality ratio? You won’t find one.

Why Pluq’s price-quality ratio is so strong

At Pluq, we don’t just sell hardware—we offer Charging as a Service, believing that cleaner mobility should be easy, accessible, and affordable. Our aim isn’t simply to make a profit but to accelerate the energy transition by helping businesses provide effortless EV charging.

We handle everything — from sourcing and installation to backend management and maintenance. That’s why major brands like NH Hotels, Accor Hotels, AED Studios, C-Bata, and MVGM trust Pluq for their charging infrastructure.

Let’s break down what our service includes:

1. Charging Hardware

Our stations range from €4,000 to €100,000 each, and you pay nothing.

2. Installation

Depending on the groundwork, cabling, and infrastructure upgrades, installing four dual-socket chargers can easily cost €35,000. We cover that too — using certified technicians only.

3. Maintenance

Our support team actively monitors every charger. If something breaks, we fix it fast. Hiring a technician independently? Expect to pay upwards of €450 per incident, before tax.

4. Software & Backend Management

You’d typically need to hire someone part-time to handle billing, user support, updates, and reporting. We take care of it all. Our smart software is included in the package, at no extra cost.

5. Scalability

Need more chargers later? No problem. As your demand grows, we’ll expand your charging setup — again, at no additional charge.

6. Sustainability Impact

Our EV solutions lower your CO₂ footprint, reduce emissions fees, and make your building more attractive to tenants. Green facilities rent faster, at better rates, and boost property value.

7. Revenue Sharing

You get a revenue share from every kilowatt-hour charged — typically €0.02 to €0.04/kWh. It’s passive income that grows with usage. Once we have recouped our investment, we are open to offering an even more favorable revenue split, depending on the circumstances.

What is peace of mind worth to you?

Many companies assume they can build their charging network without encountering unexpected costs and complex logistics. Managing hardware, upgrades, billing, support, and compliance can be time-consuming and expensive. Pluq removes that friction. We offer a full-service solution with no upfront investment, no admin headaches, and no risk.

When you choose Pluq, you’re choosing a long-term partner with a premium service level agreement, 24/7 monitoring, and infrastructure that evolves with the market.

You benefit from 10 years of operational excellence and shared revenue, all while offering a valuable amenity that aligns with your corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability goals.

There’s no better value on the EV charging market today.
