Our data team have calculated the cost per mile for each electric car available in the UK when charged at home.
The calculations are based on the manufacturer’s published WLTP figures, with a 15% adjustment to account for real world driving. We have used an average KW/h rate of 16p for the home charging costs.
These figures were correct as of 27 October 2021.

We have also calculated the cost per mile for electric vans. The research shows that almost all electric vans aren’t covered by HMRC’s advisory electric rate even with the increase from 4p to 5p.
Most electric van drivers will be left out of pocket based on these figures, which are calculated using electricity priced at 17.4p/kWh for home charging and 30p/kWh for public charging. These calculations are also based on the manufacturer’s published WLTP figures, with a 15% adjustment to account for real world driving.
