How EV charging cost is calculated
The cost of a full charge is your battery's usable capacity in kWh, multiplied by the percentage you're charging to, multiplied by your electricity rate in pence per kWh. The cost of a journey is the distance divided by your car's efficiency (miles per kWh), that tells you how many kWh the trip uses, multiplied by the same rate. Home charging on a standard or off-peak tariff is typically far cheaper than public rapid or ultra-rapid charging, so it's worth comparing both before a long trip.
