Motoring organisation calls for “easy wins” as petrol remains better value than on-peak slow charging
The cost of charging an electric car at the kerbside fell by 12% during June, according to a new report by the AA. It found that the average peak rate for using a slow charge point – typically found in residential areas – fell from 67p per kWh in May to 59p per kWh in June. Nonetheless, powering an electric car can be typically more expensive than a petrol equivalent, the report suggests. Charging a Vauxhall Corsa Electric using slow chargers at peak times gives it a running cost of 13.
Off peak, their rates averaged 75p per kWh, costing 16.95p per mile. On-peak ultra-rapid chargers were cheaper, at an average of 59p per kWh. That yields an average cost per mile of 13.33p. Flat-rate chargers proved more competitive. The cost of charging at home averaged 24p per kWh, the same as in May. This yields a cost per mile of 5.42p, less than half the cost of the petrol Corsa. Flat rates for slow and fast chargers fell by 1p, to 51p per kWh and 56p per kWh respectively.
