Ionity is a group of fossil manufacturers who have to release EVs to meet pollution credit goals & it is part funded by the EU, so of course it’s a corrupt papering over cracks & fleecing consumer scheme. Tesla superchargers cost about 24 p per kWh as a benchmark. PodPoint rapids 23 p per kWh BP Pulse ultra rapids (150kW) 42 p per kWh, 27 p per kWh for members Many other providers charge in the 30-40 p per kWh range Last summer when the Ionity chargers at Cobham services were free vending, you’d see a constant stream of EV owners turning up to try them, but now they’re almost always deserted & the cheaper charging opportunities in the area are taken instead, but an occasional Audi eTron or VW ID3 does turn up & use their discount card (We Charge Go – £5.99 per month (introductory 1st year free on ID3) and 45 p per kWh. We Charge Plus – £13.99 per month (introductory 1st year £7.99 per month on ID3) and 25 p per kWh). (As a comparison to these figures, BP Pulse membership is £7.85 per month, then AC chargers 12 p per kWh (supermarket BP pulse posts are free), 50kW DC chargers 15 p per kWh, and ultra rapid DC chargers 27 p per kWh, BUT, anyone can get a BP Pulse membership card).
I was waiting for that super brain of your to gives us some real life costs, we need real users like yourself to guide us all through the EV changes.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
