EV drivers face 18p per mile car taxes - despite Rachel Reeves limiting her new plan to just 3p per mile. According to the latest AA Recharge Report for September, the average cost per mile to charge an EV using a domestic tariff is 5.88p per mile.

But for those without off-road parking facilities, the cheapest option - using a public slow charger offering speeds of up to 8kW - is 11.3p per mile, almost double that of plugging in at home.

And for EV owners without driveways who use 'fast' chargers (9kW to 49kW), the average cost per mile increases to 13.79p - just under 14p. Most expensive of all are ultra-rapid chargers - 150kW-plus devices typically found at motorway service stations - at 17.63p, nearly 18p.
