The Telegraph article is a bit of a mess. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/new-peak-rates-mean-charging-electric-cars-expensive-petrol/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/new-peak-... "Topping up the e-Corsa’s charge by 80pc on a slow charger at peak times results in a cost of 16.18p per mile. "The AA said: “A continued fall in the pump price of petrol now places the running costs [of a petrol Corsa] at around 14.45 pence per mile, meaning that a petrol combustion engine vehicle is cheaper to run per mile than an EV.”" Some more info here (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63029226 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63029226) from 2022. "The RAC said its research showed the cost to charge an electric car on a pay-as-you-go basis at a publicly accessible rapid charger had increased by 42% since May to an average of 63.29p per kWh. "The hike in price means drivers who only use the public network to charge vehicles pay around 18p per mile for electricity. "That is just 1p less per mile for a petrol car, based on someone driving at an average of 40 miles to the gallon, the motoring group said. "The cost per mile for charging electric vehicles at home is around 9p per mile for the average-sized car. The BBC has been told most EV drivers charge at home overnight."
