• Charging Speeds:

- Up to 22 kW with a three-phase supply and a compatible car: Adds approximately 88 miles of range per hour.

- 7 kW for most UK homes with single-phase supply: Adds about 28 miles of range per hour.

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).
