Supercharger prices creeping up (unsurprisingly)

[JonB]

During my recent (29th Dec) trip to the Gatwick Service Centre, I used their supercharger stalls to top the battery off at 33p / kWh. I had to go into my Tesla account to see this, and noticed that I'd charged there on the 8th Dec for 30p / kWh. So it looks to have gone up 10% in 3 weeks.

It's not surprising given the state of the energy market but definitely something to keep an eye on.

Last time I looked Heathrow was the lowest and most of the others were >35p, some considerably more.

Alas it's going to get worse before it gets better.. wholesale prices are still increasing.

agreed. 33p is now at the low end. My last SuC visit (on the M62) was 35p

My understanding is that for commercial customers, the bigger costs can be the monthly fees based on max usage at any point in the month (so charged on peak kw, as well as a lower charge for kwh).

I don't know Tesla/UK situation, but adding storage (Megapacks) onsite would help with peak costs and also smooth demand/supply.

I can't predict SuC rates, but they might come down after current crisis which arguably had some avoidable causes. Or maybe not...

Terrible article (must be better sources) - Tesla increases the prices of Superchargers in France, here is what it will cost you more

In Germany, for example, the tariff goes from 0.40 euro / kWh to 0.45, while it goes from 0.29 to 0.36 euro in Spain.
...
In France, the price will drop from 0.37 euro / kWh to 0.40 euro (I think they mean rise)
...Germany

Chargers	Prices
Tesla Superchargers (New)	0.40 euro / kWh
Tesla Superchargers (Old)	0.37 euro / kWh

Ionity (subscription)	0.35 euro / minute

Gas prices are terrifying right now, and it seems we are quite reliant on gas for electricity generation!

Portsmouth (Havant) has also gone up from 30p to 34p/kwh some time during the last weeks. Not suprising but nevertheless annoying.

That's one of my nearer SCs..
