7.5p/KWh between 00:30 and 04:30 on Octopus Go [1]. Kia Niro EV has an efficiency of 276Wh/mile [2]. That's 2.72p/mile.
Latest petrol price averages £1.6933/litre [3]. That makes an ICE car cheaper only if it can acheive 280mpg. ( (169.33/2.72) * 4.5 ). My Prius averages 55mpg. That makes my Prius 5 times as expensive to run as an EV right now.
