My charging card does not work
Having trouble with your E.ON Drive charging card? Follow the guide below to activate it in the new app.
Activating your charging card
Is your E.ON Drive charging card not working?
Then it needs to be activated in the E.ON Drive Public app from EDRI Sweden AB. What you need to do depends on whether you have an old card from E.ON Drive Sweden or a new charging card.
1. Old charging card from E.ON Drive Sweden You have a card from the previous E.ON Drive app. Your old account has not been transferred, so the card needs to be registered in the new app.
2. New charging card You ordered a charging card in the app and received it by post.
1. Old charging card from E.ON Drive Sweden
You do not need to order a new card. Your old account has not been transferred, so you create a new account in the app and then register your old charging card while standing at a charging station. Follow the guide below:
How to activate your old charging card
Download the app and create a new account
E.ON Drive Public in the App Store or Google Play. Your old E.ON Drive login cannot be used.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a new account?
Create a new account directly in the E.ON Drive Public app.
- Download and open the E.ON Drive Public app.
- Select Create Account.
- Enter your name, email address and password.
- Verify your email address if requested.
- Sign in and complete your account setup.
Please note: A payment card is required before you can start charging from the app.
Where can I download the app?
You can download the E.ON Drive Public app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
It is the same app we use in our other markets, so there is no separate Swedish version to look for.
I can't log in to the new app.
Reset your password by selecting Forgot Password on the login screen. If you do not receive a password reset email, check your spam or junk mail folder. If the issue continues, make sure you are using the email address you registered when you created your account in the E.ON Drive Public app.
Can I use my old E.ON Drive Sweden login?
No. Existing E.ON Drive Sweden accounts are not transferred. You must create a new account for the new platform in the E.ON Drive Public app.
Please note: Use the email address you want connected to your new account.
Why do I need the E.ON Drive Public app instead of the old E.ON Drive app?
The old E.ON Drive app closes on 31 December 2026. Charging at our public charging stations is handled in the new E.ON Drive Public app from EDRI Sweden AB. You create a new account in the app and add your payment card there.
Please note: Your account, payment card and charging history are not transferred from the old app. If you have a balance left, you can use it in the old app until it closes. Any remaining balance is then refunded by E.ON Drive AB from 1 January 2027.
Why do I need to register my payment card again?
For security reasons, payment cards could not be transferred from the old app to the new app. You must therefore add your payment card again under Payment Methods.
Please note: After approving the card registration through your bank, for example using BankID, return directly to the E.ON Drive Public app to complete the setup successfully.
Can I use my existing E.ON Drive Sweden RFID card?
Yes. You can register your existing E.ON Drive Sweden card in the new E.ON Drive Public app.
- Find an E.ON Drive charging station and stand next to it.
- Go to Charge Cards in the app menu and select Add Charge Card. Enter the charger ID, which you find next to the charging socket.
- Hold the card against the RFID reader. Enter a name and select a payment method.
- Confirm that the card status is shown as Active.
Please note: An active payment method may be required before the card can be used to start charging.
How do I find the RFID number on my existing card?
The RFID number is normally printed on the back of the card or key fob. Enter the number exactly as shown. It is not the same as the card's UID.
How do I order a new charging card?
If you do not already have a charging card, you can order one directly in the app.
- Open the app menu.
- Go to Charge Cards.
- Select Order RFID Card.
- Confirm your delivery details and complete the order.
Please note: Make sure your profile has your name, address, email address and phone number filled in. Once the card has been delivered, register and activate it in the app before use.

How do I start charging with a charging card?

Why can't I charge at this charger even though it says E.ON?
Not all chargers displaying the E.ON brand are available through the E.ON Drive Public app. More than 90 percent of the public E.ON Drive chargers are operated by us and can be used with the app; the remainder are operated by another party.
A charger may also be private, restricted to authorised users, temporarily unavailable, undergoing migration, or outside the public network. A missing or rejected payment method, an inactive charging card, or an incorrect connector selection can also prevent charging.
Please note: Check whether the charger is visible and available in the app before starting. If you still cannot charge, contact Customer Support with the charger location and ID.
