One thing to note with these charge costs, is that 80% charge will relate to different range, depending on the make and model of car. For example, the Mercedes Benz EQS electric range is around 409 miles, with the charge point adding 245 miles (taking it to 80% charge), so even though it costs the most to charge, you are getting more miles for your money (at 8.8p per mile).
How many public electric charge points are there?
As of 31st March 2022, there are 30,415 public charge devices, with this set to rise as infrastructure improves. The government are placing a ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles in the UK from 2030, ready for the move to a cleaner country.
