With the high cost of rapid chargers in many areas it’s actually dearer to travel with an EV than with a good average MPG diesel car. The EV charging prices are ridiculous in some areas of the UK - some charging 64p/kwh.
Using £5.60 per gal and averaging 50mpg a diesel will cost 11p/mile for fuel. Anything over about 33p/kwh with consumption of 3mpk means that it costs more to charge your electric car. And that’s without the issues of broken chargers, annual fees and poor service. This shouldn’t be the case. Rapid charging prices need to fall dramatically.
