I wonder if anyone actually put together a list of who charges what for different speeds of charger? It’d be interesting to see who expects the biggest return and who is the cheapest. It’ d also help with conversations like this.
There are many charging options that can bring the cost per mile below diesel, it’s whether they’re possible for you. For example Pod Point are 44p for their destination chargers, you just need to be able to park for up to 8 hours and trust the car park enough to leave your car unattended whilst charging. Their 22kWh chargers are 60p which then tips them above the 15p target. If you live in a nice area and there’s a supermarket or pub car park just around the corner, you could get overnight charging for well below the 15p per mile mark. If the only chargers near you are 350kWh Instavolt then it’s 89p. Then there’s the numerous opportunities for discounts, so many card companies are now offering a selection of charging providers for a reduced rate, if you get a decent reduction on a charger within easy range of home/work then you’re quids in.
