With Volkswagen Naturstrom Connect, you have the option of charging your electric car using the Smart Charging function. This means that we always charge your vehicle when a particularly large amount of renewable energy is available. With the free Volkswagen Naturstrom Connect app, you can use Smart Charging automatically and view your charging processes and costs at any time. In this way, you make a contribution to a better use of electricity from renewable energies.
Sustainable electricity – smart, easy and good for the environment
Discover why our Connect electricity tariff is a good choice, and how Smart Charging can benefit you and the environment:
This is exactly what we address with our Smart Charging solution, ensuring that you only charge your vehicle at home when plenty of electricity is available from renewable sources. Together, we’re helping to reduce fossil fuel consumption. We’re also reducing the risk of ‘curtailment’: when so much renewable energy is produced that it could max out the grid, so is closed down. This actively reduces carbon emissions. Our calculations are checked and verified by TÜV Rheinland.
As a reliable partner, we guarantee you a power supply which is stable and dependable.
There are no hidden costs with our eco electricity tariff. Pricing is transparent and you can switch easily. What’s more, you can easily track and manage your charging sessions and costs via our free Naturstrom Connect app.
Collect points for every Smart Charging process of 7 kWh and more, and have up to €100 credited against your electricity bill annually. You earn the points when you charge your vehicle outside of typical hours. Learn more

Your personal CO₂ avoidance
Electricity from 100% renewable sources for your home and electric vehicle. It’s easy, it’s affordable and it’s sustainable.
We automatically schedule your charging process for times when there are especially high volumes of renewable energy in the grid.
We promote the expansion of renewable energies and sustainable power generation plants: it’s how we’re helping the transition to renewable energy.
Volkswagen Naturstrom is generated from eco-power plants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
If you have moved to a new home, you can start using the sustainable Volkswagen Naturstrom as soon as you move in. Retroactive registration is also possible for a maximum of six prior weeks, based on your move-in date.
If you are switching your electricity supplier, when you can receive Volkswagen Naturstrom depends on your contractual circumstances and period of notice with your previous electricity supplier. The wait period also depends on your local grid operator. If you do not have a notice period, you will receive Volkswagen Naturstrom for your home and electric vehicle around two weeks after successful contract signing.
The minimum contract period for your Volkswagen Naturstrom is 24 months. After this period, it will be automatically extended for 12 months.
In Germany, renewable electricity is generated primarily from wind and solar power. At certain times of day there is little sun or wind; at others, wind and sunshine are available in abundance. At particularly sunny or windy times, renewable energy plants may have to be closed off, or ‘curtailed’, so as not to overload the power grid.
With Volkswagen Naturstrom Connect, we charge your electric car precisely at times when there is a spike in production of renewable electricity. You’ll be helping to make better use of electricity from renewable sources.
You receive one point from us for every Smart Charging session. After every 10 points collected, you get a discount of €5 on your electricity bill. The more points you collect, the higher your discount, up to a maximum of €100 per contract year.
Modern vehicles, especially electric cars and plug-in hybrids, usually have a SIM card. This connects the vehicle to a mobile network. The Volkswagen Naturstrom Connect Service uses the mobile network to connect to your vehicle for charging. The first time you use our Volkswagen Naturstrom Connect app, you enable the connection by entering your Volkswagen ID (identifier of your We Connect or myVolkswagen user account). You only have to do this once.
