How the data is checked

Public sources only

Operators' price lists and apps, company websites, statistics offices, regulators, funds and law texts. Where only the media or a dealer gives a figure, it is marked as medium or low reliability.

A date on everything

Each figure shows the date on its source and the date it was checked. Markets change quickly; an old price is labelled as old.

Same rules for every company

What a company says on its own site goes into the same columns for everyone. No ratings, no rankings, no paid placements.

Gaps are published

Each country page lists what could not be verified, so you know where the picture is incomplete. Maps come from OpenStreetMap and Open Charge Map and say so.

BlokVolt is run by the team of Evolako, a home-charger installer that works in Serbia. Outside Serbia it does not sell or install anything. Found a mistake or want a company added? Write to hello@blokvolt.com — corrections are free and follow the same rules for everyone. The full rules are in the methodology.
