Costs of Charging an Electric Car

The cost to charge an electric car in the UK varies between home, work and public charging.For a typical electric car with a 60kWh battery and -200 mile range:

• Charging at home: Costs about £8.40 for a full charge.

• Charging at work: Many employers will install workplace charging points and typically offer free access throughout the day.

• Charging at public locations: Public chargepoints at supermarkets or car parks are often free to use for the duration of your stay.

• Rapid charging points are normally found at motorway service stations and typically cost £6.50 for a 30 min, -100 mile charge.

 Note: cars very rarely need a "full" charge as they never arrive completely empty and usually just need a top up.
