Charging an electric car at home on a cheap overnight tariff costs a fraction of filling up with petrol or diesel. Set your mileage and see the difference — then let us fit a dedicated home charger so you can plug in and wake up to a full battery.
Estimate only — your real saving depends on your car, tariff and driving. A free survey covers the home charger install.
Got solar or a battery? Charge the car from your own stored energy and the running cost drops even further — try the solar & battery calculator.
EV tariffs such as Octopus Go or Intelligent give you a few hours of very cheap electricity overnight — often around 7p/kWh. We assume most of your charging happens at home on that rate, with the rest at a typical public rapid price. Adjust both under "Advanced".
We work out the electricity used from your mileage and your car's real-world efficiency (miles per kWh — 3–4 is typical, lower in cold weather). That gives the units you'd actually buy across the year.
The petrol/diesel cost uses your car's mpg and the pump price per litre (UK imperial gallons). The saving is simply the gap between what you'd spend on fuel and what you'd spend charging — no install price or payback is shown.
We also estimate the CO₂ you'd avoid — petrol and diesel emit per litre burned, while EV charging is counted at the average UK grid carbon intensity. Charging from your own solar makes it cleaner still.
