EV owners still reaping the benefits of cheaper per mile motoring, AA says

Being able to fuel up more cheaply will depend on the time of day and the charging provider, a report shows.

The AA is calling for investment to improve the public charging network (PA) (PA Wire)

Cuts to off-peak ultra-rapid charging costs have made electric cars cheaper to “fuel” than a petrol vehicle for some drivers, according to figures from the AA.

The time of day and the charging provider are the key factors which determine whether the driver can get the lower prices, it added.

The February 2023 AA EV Recharge Report shows an 8p/kWh reduction in off-peak ultra-rapid charging makes electric cars cheaper to fuel but notes that some are available outside 6pm to 8pm while other chargers switch to off-peak only after 8pm.
