Initial Costs

Investing in an electric vehicle and charger can be a concern due to upfront expenses. EVs are initially more expensive than regular petrol or diesel cars, and charging them at public charging stations can be costly.

 

Operating Costs

On average, a public charging station will cost 73p/kWh, compare this to the price of electricity at home being on average 25-35p/kWh, EV can save over half just by charging at home.

 

Long-term Savings

Off-peak tariffs yield substantial long-term savings, with rates as low as 10p/kWh, resulting in a 73% cost reduction compared to public charging stations. Combining an EV Charger with Solar Panels or Battery Storage can lower charging costs even more!
