Methodology — how we choose, check and publish data

The site is run by a company that installs chargers itself. That is why the rules have to be mechanical and public — so that the comparison holds up even when we show it to you at an assembly meeting.

Translated from Serbian. Prices, quotes from company websites and data are given in English for convenience; where the exact wording matters, the Serbian original applies.

Who is behind the site

BlokVolt is edited by the team behind Evolako, a Novi Sad company that sells and installs home chargers in Vojvodina and Belgrade. That is a conflict of interest, and we do not hide it: every page states who the author is, and in all tables and lists Evolako is shown in the same columns and by the same rules as every other company, labelled “our offer”.

Where the company data comes from

  1. Public sources only. Everything written about a company is copied from its website or from a public marketplace (eponuda, Bazzar), with a link and the check date. We make no “undercover” calls to companies and do not publish quotes we received as customers.
  2. Prices verbatim. A price is copied as published, with a note on whether it includes VAT, excludes VAT or is unmarked. If a price was in euros or without VAT, our conversion is given in brackets (VAT 20 %, exchange rate 117,2 RSD/€).
  3. “Not mentioned” is not a rating. It only means that the company's website does not have that information. The service may exist — ask the company.
  4. No rankings, ratings or stars. The groups in the table (public price with installation, public device price, device only, no public price, installation only) describe what has been published, not quality.
  5. The same questions for everyone: public price, installation, meter and consumption billing, assembly paperwork, service and warranty. We choose these questions because they are what buyers really decide by — and because no company other than ours answers yes in the last two columns; we think it is important for readers to see this for themselves.
  6. A company is added to the register when its public web page clearly offers the sale or installation of chargers to private individuals in Serbia. Companies for which we could not confirm this (a trace in search results, a dead website, marketplace only) are kept as “under review” and are not published.
  7. Corrections and removal. Any company can request a correction or addition to its data, or the removal of its entry — without giving a reason. We make corrections within a few days and log them in the changelog.

Public charging

Public charger operators in Serbia publish no price lists on their websites — the price only appears in the app just before charging starts. That is why we read the prices in the price index from the operators' apps (editorial screenshot, with the date) and from receipts for charging sessions the editors paid for; older records from the media and from users (forums, blogs) stay on the network pages as price history. Every price comes with the date, the source and a reliability label (“primary source (app)”, “primary source (receipt)”, “media”, “user-reported”). Converting a per-minute price into a price per kWh is our own calculation, and the assumptions about average charging power are stated with it. We do not rank networks, apps or hosts; they are sorted by type, not by quality, and we give the size of a network as the operator publishes it. We are glad to receive screenshots of app prices with the date and location via the corrections page.

Regulations and figures

For regulations we give the Official Gazette number and, where available, a link to the text. For figures we give the primary source (MUP, SAUVD, NALED, JP Putevi Srbije, city price lists) and the date. When sources disagree, we give both and say which one we use and why. Nothing on the site is legal advice.

How often we check

  • Company register and price table: quarterly (next check December 2026) and after every report.
  • Subsidies: with every official announcement.
  • Statistics: following SAUVD's quarterly releases.
  • Public charging prices: monthly, from the operators' apps.
  • Tariffs, motorway tolls, parking: when the rules change, and at least twice a year.
  • Public charging: prices monthly, networks and free locations quarterly.

The date of the last check is shown on every page and next to every company.

The data is open

Everything we publish as a table can be downloaded as CSV on the data downloads page, under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence — free to use and republish, with attribution. Each row comes with a link to the page the data was copied from and the check date, so anyone can check our work instead of taking our word for it. It is also the easiest way for someone to catch us in a mistake, which suits us.

How the texts are written

We prepare the texts with the help of AI tools, from a list of verified facts with sources; the editors check facts, amounts and sources before publication. Proofreading by a native Serbian speaker is done in batches; if you come across a language or factual error, report it.

The legal framework for comparisons

In Serbia, comparative advertising is permitted under the Law on Advertising (Article 14), provided that it is objective and verifiable, relates to material characteristics and does not disparage a competitor. Our tables are built to meet these conditions: only public, verifiable data, with a source and a date, without value judgements.

BlokVolt is an independent guide to electric cars in Serbia: companies, prices, procedures, regulations and figures — all with a source and a check date.
