Home charging cost

[robertski]

I'm from the UK. How much more will it cost to charge my EV at home after the price hike?

Thanks,
Robert

You know what, even with electricity prices going up, driving an electric car still costs less per mile than a petrol one. So no need to worry about those higher home charging rates - you’re still saving in the long run!

I would install solar panels if I were you.

I’m based in the U.S., so the energy rates are different here, but I get the frustration with rising electricity costs. Over here, we're seeing some increases too, but EV charging is still usually cheaper than gas. Have you looked into any off-peak or EV-specific tariffs in the UK? They might help with the extra costs!

In the U.S., home charging is still a money-saver despite rising electricity rates. For the UK, I imagine the increase might sting a bit more with recent price hikes, but EVs are usually still cheaper than gas. If you’re driving a Fiat 500e, which is efficient, your costs might not go up as much as with a larger EV.

Charging at home is much cheaper than using public chargers. You’ll pay less for electricity at home, especially if you charge overnight. Public chargers can be pricey, and there might be additional fees. And when you compare it to petrol, the savings are even more significant!
