EV Charging Calculator

EV Tariff Calculator: find your cheapest UK electricity tariff

Tell us how much you drive, what charger you have at home, and how much electricity the rest of your house uses. We'll model seven UK electricity tariffs — including the standard variable price cap — and tell you which one is genuinely cheapest for your usage. The ranking is based on monthly cost only, never affiliate rate.

295Wh/mile real-world · 82kWh usable battery

UK average is around 700–1,000 miles/month.

How much can you time-shift charging to off-peak?

Everything except your EV: lights, heating, cooking, appliances. Your last few electricity bills will show this figure.

Cheapest for your usage

E.ON Next Drive

Approximate monthly electricity cost: £109.46

That's £42.67 less per month than the standard price cap.

Off-peak achievability check

Your 7kW charger over 6h of off-peak/night can deliver up to 1278kWh/month. You need 212kWh/month at your selected off-peak share — comfortable headroom.

How sensitive is this to your mileage?

E.ON Next Drive is your cheapest tariff up to 1600 mi/month. Above that, EDF GoElectric takes over.

How we calculate this

EV kWh from your car's real-world efficiency × monthly miles. Non-EV usage split 75% peak / 25% off-peak (households use some appliances overnight). OVO Charge Anytime is modelled with its EV-only off-peak quirk. Full assumptions on the methodology page.
