    Using motorway services to charge an EV will cost far more than running either a petrol or diesel car.

     

    Evidence?

     

    Gridserve who operate a large number of Motorway service stations are quoted on the mapping services at 65p per kWh.  My car gets AT LEAST 4 miles per kWh, so 4 miles per 65p or just over 16p per mile public charged.  There are cars that will return 5 or 6 miles per kWh, which reduces that further.  That’s the expensive options.

     

    It’s been a long time since I last drove a petrol engined car so I’ve no idea what the realistic mpg looks like at £180odd per litre.
