! That’s so wonderful that you and your family are doing your part to reduce environmental impact. You’ll also save money by avoiding filling up at the pump!
Though the UK’s charging infrastructure has expanded dramatically in recent years with over 15,500 locations, it’s still important to thoughtfully plan out your long road trips so you’re not in a pinch. Here’s what we know about the cost of electric charging stations in the UK:
  • There are more than 30,000 public charging points in the UK, and that number will continue to increase.
  • Employees and homeowners can receive grants to help with the cost of installing charging points.
  • To buy and install an EV charging station at home can cost between £800 and £1,100. And it costs about £8.40 to fully charge your

    .
  • Many public charging points are free for day access, depending on the duration you’re using them for. You can often locate these chargers at shopping malls, workplaces, car parks, or supermarkets. For a 30-minute (100-mile) rapid charge, it will cost you about £6.50.
