How much does it cost to charge using a smart EV Charge Point?
With a smart tariff like Intelligent Octopus Go, charging your EV costs:
8.5p per kWh
For a vehicle efficiency of 4 miles per kWh (e.g., my van!):
Cost per mile = 8.5 ÷ 4 = 2.125p per mile
For daytime electricity rates (e.g., 25p per kWh):
Cost per mile = 25 ÷ 4 = 6.25p per mile
This is significantly cheaper than the cost per mile of an equivalent diesel vehicle (~12.9p per mile).
