Cost of charging electric cars at public stations - Mina Gorgyos If you are a Tesla owner, then the Tesla Supercharger Network has points across the UK which are often free to use for older vehicles. Newer Tesla owners, who bought their vehicle after January 1st 2017, may only receive a set number of free hours of charge. According to Tesla, where possible, Tesla owners are billed at 26p per kWh (kilowatt-hour). In other areas, they bill per minute. When billing per minute, there are two tiers to account for changes in charging speeds, called “tier 1” and “tier 2”. Tier 1 is 60 kW and below and tier 2 is 60 kW and above. Tesla advise that tier 1 is half the cost of tier 2. Certain Model S and X vehicles ordered before November 2, 2018 receive 400 kWh (~1,000 miles) of Supercharger credits annually. Please consult the manufacturer if you are in doubt. For non-Tesla owners, charging fees vary depending on the network you use. Registration, subscription and connection fees may apply. Take a look at Zap-Map or an overview of UK’s main EV charging networks. https://minagorgyos.tumblr.com/post/674243389119660032/how-much-it-costs-to-charge-run-an-electric-car
