In the UK, public fast chargers are mostly around the 80p/kwh Mark. With a decently light foot and getting 4 miles per kwh, that's 20p a mile. With gas at £1.55 a litre, and a 60mpg (UK) hybrid, that's about 12p a mile.

Home charging an ev on an appropriate tariff costs about 7p/kwh, or about 1.75p per mile.

Public charging is fucking expensive.

Very few public chargers are 80p a kwh, its about half that: https://pod-point.com/guides/driver/cost-of-charging-electric-car

Its normally only the very fastest chargers that are around 80p, but then there are alternative options that are cheaper if you want ultra high speed and not get robbed blind, such as Tesla that is almost half what Instavolt charge.
