Just hit 2000 miles so thought I'd tot up the cost of charging. Works out at just over £96. £60 of this was using rapid chargers and the rest on Ohme Octopus Go.
 
How long have you had the car? You seem to be using quite a lot of rapid charge so I'm guessing you must be doing long trips requiring charging stops. What's your trip computer say the average miles/kWh is for the total mileage?
I'm somewhere over 2500 miles in 2 months but I think I've spent less that £30 on rapid chargers and the rest is occasionally on Octopus Go 5p when I need a full charge for a trip the next day, and mostly on local sun juice (which could all have been at the 5p rate if I didn't have the sun juice). Trip says the average to date is 3.9miles/kWh.
Being summer, the sun juice means our leccky cost including the car charging is not much more than the daily standing charge.
 
Owned for 3 months. Used rapid charge a lot in the first month of ownership as I was waiting for my home charger to be installed and have the electrics updated. Have also had a few long journeys over 200 miles which have meant charging away from home. Average to date is 3.8 miles/kWh.
