Stop guessing and start saving. Find the cheapest way to power your EV (electric vehicle) while away from home in the UK.
Charging your EV in public can be a minefield of different rates, speeds, connection fees, and monthly subscriptions. For short journeys, home charging plus one or two PAYG charges may be your cheapest option. For long journeys, a charging subscription is likely to save you money. And who doesn't want to save money?
EV Subs UK is the essential tool for every UK EV driver and is designed to instantly reveal which charging networks and subscription plans will actually save you money based on your real-world driving. Listed in order of expense to you.
Whether you are planning a single long-distance journey, multiple journeys in succession, or looking to optimize your monthly commuting costs, our advanced calculator does the tough maths for you. Instantly.
Key Features:
• Cost-Reduction Calculator: Input your journey mileage, battery size, current efficiency, and a few other bits of information relating to your driving habits, and you'll see a side-by-side comparison of all national UK network subscription offerings from the likes of Tesla, IONITY, and GRIDSERVE. And you'll see how they stack up against what your expected average PAYG rate.
• Break-Even Analysis: Ever wondered if that £10/month subscription is worth the cost? We show you exactly how many miles you need to drive each month to make a subscription cheaper than PAYG.
• Comprehensive Network Database: All UK-wide charging providers are included.
• Journey Planning Insights: Calculate your total journey cost, including pre-charge costs and the number of stops required to reach your destination. Instantly.
• Visual Cost Comparison: View interactive graphs that show how your costs change over distance, helping you visualize the "tipping point" where subscriptions become the best choice.
• Real-World Accuracy: We factor in your maximum-supported charging speed, battery buffers (recharge at %), and your EV's seasonal efficiency to give you a realistic cost estimate, not just a hypothetical figure.
