EV charging guides
The questions behind the numbers. Every guide uses the same live data as the rest of the site — the current Ofgem price cap, real tariff rates and manufacturer-verified specs — so the figures stay current instead of aging like a blog post.
Charging an EV from a three-pin plug
What a standard UK socket really costs, how long every model takes at 2.3 kW, and the safety rules that matter.
EV vs petrol: cost per mile
Real pence-per-mile figures for 23 EVs at today's rates, against petrol at a range of pump prices and mpg.
Charging losses explained
Why your meter shows more kWh than your battery took, and what the ~12% loss costs per full charge for every model.
EV tariffs explained
How off-peak windows work, live rates for the tariffs we track, and who they do and don't suit.
Winter range and cost
What a 10-30% cold-weather efficiency drop does to range and pence per mile, model by model.
Is a 7 kW wallbox worth it?
The off-peak window maths, payback periods at different install quotes, and who should skip the wallbox.
Home vs public charging
The per-mile gap between your own socket and public rapid networks, and how to keep most miles on the cheap side.
The standing charge and your EV
The daily fee you pay anyway: live regional standing charges and why they are not an EV running cost.
