It\u2019s now more expensive to drive petrol than electric, even when using ultra-rapid chargers at peak time<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The average cost of charging an electric car at one of Britain\u2019s ultra-rapid chargers at peak times has fallen to its lowest point this year, according to the AA EV Recharge Report.<\/p>\n

The latest analysis took an average of pay-as-you-go (PAYG) prices across the UK on 28 September 2023. It compared cost-per-mile figures after adding 32 litres to the tank of a 1.2-litre petrol Corsa – good for 335 miles using the combined WLTP consumption figure of 47.9mpg – and adding 80 per cent charge to the battery of a Corsa Electric – which equates to 178 miles of range.<\/p>\n
