What’s the price of charging an electric car on the top 10 rapid charging networks?
You can see the prices charged by the top 10 public rapid charging networks in the infographic below. In March, the prices varied from 40p/kWh to 79p/kWh, with some networks charging more for ultra-rapid charging.
Currently the MFG EV Power and Osprey networks have the highest price at 79p/kWh, followed by GeniePoint and InstaVolt at 75p/kWh
At present the cheapest network is ChargePlace Scotland, where EV drivers are still able to charge for free at many locations, but where charges are applicable they can be up to £1/kWh.
How are rapid charging prices changing over time?
To simplify the pricing landscape and present the overall price paid by EV drivers to charge on the public network, Zap-Map produces a Quarterly Price Index from the data collected to drive the Zap-Map app.
The Quarterly Price Index shows how the weighted average price to charge an electric car on the public charging network varies over time.
