Charging at home

Charging at home from 20 to 80%

With 7,456 miles a year, always charging at home costs about £584 on the standard tariff and £169 off-peak on an EV tariff: you save £415 a year. Note: on an EV tariff the peak rate is usually higher than the standard rate, so it pays off most if you can also move other usage into the off-peak hours.
