UK EV charging networks

UK on-street slow and fast charging network, mostly Type 2 sockets for residents without driveways. Connected Kerb publishes no single national price — their own wording is that these are "typical rates across our network but pricing may vary depending on the location". The 54p day and 44p night figures are also tied to smart charging being enabled; non-smart rates are not published. Treat as indicative rather than a quote for any given site.

Tesla's proprietary network, now open to non-Tesla EVs at most UK sites via the Tesla app. IMPORTANT: the rate shown here is NOT a verified current price. Tesla publishes no pricing on tesla.com at all — rates are set per site, vary by time of day, change without notice, and are only visible in the app before you plug in. The 58p is a retained older blended estimate kept so the network can appear in comparisons; treat it as indicative only and check the app for the site you are actually going to. The membership fee and member rate are likewise unpublished outside the app and could not be verified.

Lamppost-mounted on-street charging in London and other UK cities at affordable Type 2 rates. Char.gy now runs a day/night split: 59p/kWh during the day (07:00–00:00) and 39p/kWh overnight (00:00–07:00).

Motor Fuel Group's rapid charging brand, the largest UK network by ultra-rapid charger count. MFG cut ultra-rapid charging to 59p/kWh network-wide for summer 2026 — a 25% reduction — and that promotional rate is what is shown here. IT EXPIRES ON 30 SEPTEMBER 2026, after which pricing is expected to revert to the standard 69-79p band. Note MFG's own sources disagree with each other: the parent Motor Fuel Group site still shows 69-79p and has not been updated to reflect the promotion announced in its own press release.

Predominantly a destination network with chargers at Tesco, Lidl and other retail sites. Prices are set by the host retailer and vary by charger speed; the rapid (50kW+) units are the ones most useful for top-ups on a journey.

UNVERIFIED — the figures below have not been confirmed since 1 April 2026 and should not be relied on. This entry describes the ON-STREET, London-focused lamppost estate formerly branded Source London. That network appears to have been rebranded to "TotalEnergies Charging Services"; sourcelondon.net no longer serves (DNS resolves, ports 80 and 443 refuse) and does not redirect. We could not verify current pricing because the successor site is behind bot protection that returned 403 to every attempt. NOT TO BE CONFUSED with "Source" (source-ev.com), a separate TotalEnergies and SSE joint venture running 150kW+ off-street rapid hubs, which we track as its own entry. The two share a lineage and part of a name but are different networks with different pricing, speeds and coverage.

UK joint venture from Liberty Global and Zouk Capital deploying mid-power chargers in urban locations. Moved from a flat rate to speed tiers during 2026. Some boroughs (Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Waltham Forest) have overnight tariffs around midnight-6am, and Suffolk has a locals' rate; those are not modelled here. Overstay fees apply an hour after charging ends.

Renewable-energy-backed UK charging network operating destination and rapid sites. Moved from a flat rate to speed tiers during 2026. Note Mer UK is being absorbed into the Be.EV network — Mer's own pricing page refers to its chargers switching over — so this entry may not survive long.

Northern England rapid charging network with a strong urban hub presence. Be.EV restructured its tariffs in 2026: pay-as-you-go is now around 79p/kWh on rapid chargers (up to ~89p ultra-rapid). The 39p off-peak rate is no longer free — it now requires the paid "The Mega" membership (£9.99/mo) and applies in a 19:00–07:00 window. A cheaper "The Mini" membership (£4.99/mo) gives around 49p/kWh.

UK ultra-rapid network rolling out new hubs across the south of England. Weekday contactless is 79p/kWh; weekend rates and the app are cheaper.

Dutch-owned ultra-rapid network with up to 400kW chargers in the UK at motorway hubs.

UK rapid charging operator managing public sector and local authority networks, now rebranded as the Evolt Network. Standard rapid PAYG is around 79p/kWh, with a reduced 68p rate on selected 25/50kW chargers.

Shell's UK charging network including the Ubitricity lamppost network for urban on-street charging. Rapid/ultra-rapid pricing varies by speed across roughly 74–89p/kWh (50kW around 74p; ultra-rapid 79–89p); the 79p figure here is representative. App and Charge Card users pay around 10p less.

Ultra-rapid pan-European network with 350kW chargers, mostly at motorway services in the UK.

Pan-European charging network with a growing UK presence at motorway services and supermarkets.

One of the largest UK charging networks, operated by BP across petrol forecourts and standalone hubs. Pricing is banded rather than flat: 7kW posts are 65p, while 43kW and above run 79-93p depending on site. The 86p here is a mid-point of that rapid band for comparison, since BP does not publish which sites sit where. The GBP 7.85/month subscription gives 52p on 7kW and 63-74p on rapid; an earlier flat 44p member rate we previously published does not exist anywhere in BP's current pricing.

UK rapid network with contactless payment and dynamic load management at hub sites. App users pay around 82p/kWh versus 87p contactless.

Operator of Electric Forecourts and Motorway high-power chargers. GRIDSERVE prices DC as a location-dependent band of roughly 85-92p/kWh, the same on contactless and app, with AC up to 22kW at 59p. The 88p here is a mid-point of that band for comparison; GRIDSERVE does not publish which sites sit where. A GRIDSERVE Plus membership at GBP 7.99/month takes 25% off.

Off-street rapid charging hubs from a TotalEnergies and SSE joint venture launched in July 2024, now rolling out across the UK and Ireland. Hubs are typically 10-12 bays at 150-160kW on retail parks, open 24/7 — a different proposition from the on-street lamppost estate formerly called Source London, which is a separate network under TotalEnergies branding. Source publishes a single national rate card rather than pricing by site: 89p/kWh on contactless, 82p on the free "Entry" plan, and 70p/66p on the paid Premium plan. AC charging is 54p.

UK rapid charging network operated by Equans, focused on motorway services, supermarkets and public car parks. The peak/off-peak structure GeniePoint introduced in May 2026 has since been WITHDRAWN — the current rates page has no off-peak band at all. Registered users pay 83p outside the M25 and 85p within it; contactless is 92p everywhere, which is the figure shown here. Overstay is GBP 10 after 90 minutes, repeating every 90 minutes.

UK rapid charging network known for high uptime and contactless-first payment. Note the pricing has since diverged from that positioning — the 55p overnight rate (20:00-07:00) is only available through the app or an RFID card, so paying by contactless costs 92p at any hour.
