That's about £250 worth of electricity - if you charge solely at home. From fast chargers, that's about £750 - £1,000.

Not a bad incentive if you do lots of long journeys and need to charge at a motorway service station. But perhaps not as generous as it sounds for more typical use.

Seeing as how that would ring up to around $160 here it makes me wonder how much cost different going EV would be for me personally. Unfortunately fuel is also cheap here at $2.28/gal on average the last month or two and I average around 37 to 46mpg in a non-hybrid turbo car.
At $0.10/kWh, my napkin says EV is still around half the cost of gasoline per mile.
