How does char.gy compare to other networks in terms of pricing?
The price to charge an electric vehicle (EV) on the public charging network can vary substantively, and prices are increasing due to current issues in the energy market.
Updated on a monthly basis, the Zapmap Price Index shows the difference in prices paid depending on the type of charger and will also track how this is changing over time.
About char.gy
char.gy manufactures and operates lamppost-mounted, on-street residential electric vehicle charge points. Because there is no need to dig up the pavement – the charge points’ electricity supply is from the lamppost feed – installation is faster than with a conventional unit.
The company’s units use a Type 2 inlet, and charging at up to 7.7 kWh is possible where infrastructure allows.
The company works with local authorities to help provide EV charging infrastructure for those without off-street charging.
