Price gouging, what else is new.
Not quite sure what people expect with current energy prices, the problem here is that help already has been announced and prices are being capped but they still proceed to raise prices.
The announcement that they’ll “reduce prices if they can” already tells you all you need to know. As an aside, Osprey is by far and beyond the most expensive charging network out there (31% over the second most expensive), to make a blanket statement like “petrol now cheaper to run than EVs” when a few hundred chargers, out of tens of thousands, are now price gouging is a bit of a stretch.
This doesn’t even apply to most EV users anyway, since many charge at home, and of those who can’t charge at home, not everyone goes for the fastest charging available.
So, no. For the vast majority of EV owners, EVs are still cheaper to run by a considerable margin compared to petrol/diesels.
