Three ways to charge, very different costs
Rapid public chargers
Quick top-ups, but usually more expensive.
The 17–20p tag is for mixed public charging. Rapid-only charging is around 24p a mile in the review.
On-street and lamp-post
For drivers without a driveway. Prices vary a lot.
Where you charge changes everything
Charging overnight on an EV tariff can cost a fraction of public charging. We show you the real cost per mile for your setup.
Illustrative, based on the Department for Transport's cost of public charging review, October 2026, pages 8–10. Home ~2p is the lowest overnight energy-only cost, excluding installation. Public 17–20p assumes mixed charger speeds; petrol ~22p uses September 2026 prices. Including installation and some public charging, the review puts typical home charging at 8–12p/mile.
