EV Charger Running Cost Calculator UK

Use your electricity unit rate and weekly driving to estimate home charging costs. Standing charge is excluded because you pay it whether or not you charge.

Your assumptions

Change any value and the estimate updates immediately. Defaults are illustrative only.

p/kWh
Use an off-peak EV rate if you charge overnight, or your standard unit rate. Standing charge is not included. Ofgem price-cap pages are a benchmark only.
miles
Estimate the miles you expect to recharge at home, not every public top-up.
Slider is tenths of mi/kWh (35 = 3.5). Real-world efficiency varies with weather, speed and vehicle.

How to use the estimate

The tool converts weekly miles into kilowatt-hours using your efficiency assumption, then multiplies by the share charged at home and your unit rate. It does not add the standing charge.

Public rapid charging, cold weather and motorway driving can all change real consumption. Treat the result as a planning scenario.

Time-of-use tariffs

If you have a cheap overnight window, enter that rate rather than the daytime unit price.
