UK Supercharger Prices

[DeejUK]

Sorry if this is available elsewhere. How much is the 'average' UK supercharger per kWh?

I've got a 2017 Model X with free supercharging, and I need to swap it for something else soon. Because my car has free supercharging, it doesn't show me the prices when I tap on a supercharger pin on the map, and only shows me idling fees. I had a look on the website, and it was like "go look at a pin on the car"

Most seem to be around 50p/kWh at the moment.

Worth mentioning that prices vary between superchargers, and Tesla tend to up prices by 1/2p at a time at each location, so there isn't a big jump as you might see with instavolt

There's an app called "Superchargers" (IOS not sure about Android) that shows locations and prices.

The cheapest I’ve had is .40p kW Hilton Park Southbound and the most expensive .50p kW.

This was June 2022.

 

[Tfcprospect]

Newport Pagnell southboud 50p/kWh, Keele 51p/kWh

 

[Zakalwe]

53p/kWh at Abington Services.

 

[browellm]

55p at Norwich. Can any reader beat that?

Scratch that suggestion ... it does give a price ... but it's incorrect!

What's the point? By the time your car comes (even if it's tomorrow) the prices will have changed. You may have noticed there's a bit of a kerfuffle with the energy markets
Even average prices aren't very useful as you'll likely only use a select few chargers on your normal routes. For example I only use the ones in Perth/Dundee/Aberdeen. The prices in Heathrow, Norwich or Keele are of no interest to me. Better to ask for latest prices of specific charger IMHO.

Do we have off-peak rates at UK Superchargers? I hired a Model 3 in Las Vegas (drove to LA for a few days) and the Santa Monica SC had peak and off-peaks rates (after 9pm IIRC)

Yes but it's not consistent across all sites.

Given the domestic cap price will be at that level very soon, I suspect Ionity prices of 69/kWh will seem 'cheap' soon .

Before this thread, I had zero point of reference. Even an order-of-magnitude expectation is better than what I had previously

 

[Jason71]

Unless it's changed recently Heathrow is about half the price of most of the others. Less than 25p. I can only think they must have had along fixed price energy deal for that site and are passing on the savings.

Before this thread there were lots of other threads that would have given you a point of reference

Park Royal was about that as well, but I rather suspect that won’t be open for a while…

And here we go in print.....remeber the days of 'free' electricity by Octopus, and even standard E7 rates was something stupid like 4p/kWh.

If Tesla DON'T increase SC rates to more than 52p/kWh across the board anyone on the standard variable rate electricity plan is better off hogging a local SC for fuel versus charging at home.

More raise to come still though, 70p/kWh by next year I see is mentioned, will SC hit £1/kWh?? I suspect it might, at which point EV will be more expensive to refuel than combustion cars on long trips .

 

[ACarneiro]

I don’t get it. Says the electricity was capped at 28p/kWh but im paying 35 at “expensive o’clock” on Octopus Go?

EDIT: should have googled before asking a stupid question: applies to the Standard Variable Rate

 

[MashinBenzin]

The cap is for standard variable
