Supercharging costs rising

[Dilly]

Just had an email from Tesla.
two SuC‘s I picked are now 56p

 

[Mr H]

I got the e-mail too but i'm too lazy to go out to the car so thought i'd let someone else have the pleasure

 

[M1tch]

Me too

How much were they before?

Brace Brace? This is the first time I've seen an email go out. Does this mean some hefty uplift is about to happen, rather than the price creep we've had before?

Keele is showing as 67p right now. Not sure what it was before. My last used supercharger was 54p in Cornwall about 4 weeks ago.

Wowow. Yeah that's a biggie. Not seen above 56p before.

Even 67p/kWh is a considerable distance short of the £1/kWh recently announced by Osprey…

 

[prabhu]

67p in most places. 34p at Heathrow and 38p on locations with ToU tariffs.

I just did some calculations and by golly, YOU ARE RIGHT!

Businesses especially those in electric vehicle charging need a price cap. Why is our government so bloody slow to action anything?

This won’t do anything to help your “goal” of halting ICE sales in the coming decades, if anything the opposite. It’s almost like you want your friends in the oil industry to continue making ridiculous profits.

Well for one they are making a fortune from the 20% VAT they get on Commercial electricity with all these price rises

Remember when we thought Ionity's prices were outrageous?
Ah the good old days

Time for another email to HR department regarding mileage rates for personal cars for Business use... ))

But ok, I still use SCs like once a month so no biggie for me.

Saddest thing is maybe, that these prices are there to stay no. Unless in a year or so market pressure will drive those down, once everything normalised which I am not so sure

£1 by the end of the year also..

The tax free per mile reimbursement cap is set by the government, not by your HR Dept.

I'm going to guess that with Osprey and Tesla upping prices, (In Ospreys case, I would say outrageous), I'd imagine we're in for another round of increases for Instavolt, Ionity, Bonnet, etc.

I'd rather pay less of course, but I see this as a relatively short term issue, and I can charge at a low price at home

To be fair they were outrageous … it’s just that the “market” has caught up

 

[PITA]

How do I find out the Tesla SuperCharging price of a location, before getting there?

I've looked in the car, and the Map Pin only shows me the 'electric charging rate' ... not the price charging rate

The good old days taken December 2020.
