Instavolt and BP Pulse public charger price rises

[Stuart Wright]

Instavolt now 75p/kWh for all customers across all payment types.

BP Pulse

	AC Charger 7kW	AC 43kW/DC 50kW	150kW+
Subscriber/Full Member	£0.44/kWh	£0.55/kWh	£0.65/kWh
Registered User	£0.57/kWh	£0.67/kWh	£0.77/kWh
Contactless		£0.69/kWh	£0.79/kWh

but none of the BP Pulse chargers work, anyway

And to think just a few months ago we continued to berate Ionity for charging 67p.

I think you can add Osprey and Swarco Econnect, both at 69p

Adhoc tapping to pay using credit or debit cards is just bonkers!

I've been using Elli for a few months and its cheaper to DC rapid charge than it is to charge on the current domestic variable tariff. £12 a month subscription gives you Ionity at 28p , and others such as Osprey, shell etc at 35p.

Elli: Charging tariffs from the consumer test winner for your electric vehicle.

Elli is owned by the VW group and is a rebranded card used by VW, Skoda, Kia, Hyundai and a few others that are given with new EV purchases with a prepaid 12 month subscription. Elli opens this up to anyone, but is essentially the same thing. You can use it throughout Europe.

But I don't do even £12 a month of public charging so tapping ad hoc is the only possibility for me.

Isn't the Elli model somewhat similar to Bonnet, who recently did away with the discounts?

 

[Speshaul]

Bonnet is now 10 or 15 percent off charger operator costs as signed on the charger.
Though if you never stray out of range of home then rapid charging is a moot point.
