According to [1] it breaks down like this: EV at rapid/ultra-rapid chargers: 25p/mile Petrol, diesel: 15p/mile EV charging at home: 8p/mile This is because there's a government price cap on home electricity, but not on commercial electricity - and rapid chargers are all commercial (and of course for-profit).
