No driveway? No issue. We've partnered with @skodaUK to bust the myth that you must have home charging to run an EV. From workplace crediting quick top-ups on the road, there are more options than you believe.

Main test (WLTP) variety for Elroq is 232-360 miles based on a full charge (to 100%) and depending on trim. For comparison functions, might not reflect reality driving.

Instavolt 87p per kWh ouch!!
54p after 8pm
50p in select locations
Shop around.
I have an ev without home charger and it’s fine but it’s super annoying the tons of apps to cater to all the chargers around me. Sure some apps aggregate but they take a cut. There is also a huge price variation between different apps that makes using some chargers kind of pointless. It’s not perfect but you can make do!
I have investigated…as I have no drive way.
The cheapest rate I could charge is 50 pence/kwh
No thanks.
And if they occupied I would have to charge for 80 pence..
If I would have drive way would be 8 pence/kwh or free if sunny and I could charge on solar panels output.
You didn’t look very hard. There are Tesla charging locations for 24p / kWh available on a £9.99 per month subscription.
Yes, you can have an EV without a driveway and charge at public chargers. But this may cost more than petrol unless you get a Tesla and use the Superchargers. In essence, don’t get an EV if you can’t charge at home.
Ionity with a subscription is 43p and about the same price as petrol.
For example they are opening them in village hotel gyms. Plug in once a week while working out
@@Lewis_Standing Exactly, around the same price. I only pay 4.7p with cheap overnight rate, so save a lot of money by not using public chargers. As I said, you can have an EV, but it makes much more sense when you can charge at home.
You don’t need a Tesla to use superchargers, as a couple of thousand locations are open to all vehicles.
We sign up to the Tesla subscription for the months we’ll be using the network, and cancel the subscription when not.
Home charging is a huge benefit to driving electric, but it needn’t be more expensive than petrol, if charging locations are chosen with care.
And the cost is massive!!!!!
No more expensive than petrol.
I disagree. The cost of fast charging is the show stopper. Is there anyone in the Electrifying team who lives in a flat and drives EV as their only car? Let them speak. Let’s hear the offinion of those who have tried it, and not those who can do maths.
The government should be doing more for people like you. Legislation is needed to provide chargers for everyone that needs them. A bit like new builds.
There are lower cost charging options available. I never pay more than 42p per kWh, which works out at 10 pence per mile. However it’s often possible to charge as low as 24p per kWh, which drops the cost per mile to about 5 pence per mile, a cost that vehicle few proper sized petrol cars could do.
@@johnnodge4327I know but I rarely have time to hover around fo so long. The only option for me was to quickly pop round to a nearby super fast charger to get a top up. I can imagine people with active lifestyle, doing a lot of all sorts of shopping, gym etc. slow charging could be acceptable. It wouldn’t work for me.
I agree totally it is easier than ever with the increase of available charges. But I think the greater problem is the outrageous cost of Public charging units opposed to charging at home. The extra expense of buying an EV needs to be offset with better running costs so this could become more of an issue for EV sales as range anxiety is less of an issue. The difference between charging at home or in public is too vast.
What she’s not mentioning is the cost of rapid charging. It’s prohibitively expensive. Much more than petrol. This is extremely biased. I wonder who’s paying for the video?
Tesla open to all, from 24p per kWh on a £9.99 subscription.
Driving electric using public charging doesn’t have to be expensive, you just need to search for the lowest cost options, just like filling a car fuel tank.
There has been time I went to the charger. It is either no working or you need a some sort of charge card for it.
i havs an EV and what 6p per kwh at home it makes a lot of sense, public charging makes no sense as the prinary charging method as its way too expensive. cheaper to run a petrol car and 80p per kwh for example.
Technically she is right. You can charge at public chargers almost everywhere. But can you afford it? Obviously at Electrifying they are all equipped with a company charge card. As a test, try letting everybody there pay with their own car for a month and make a video about that afterwards. As a private person, who would pay up to 11 times more for electricity at a fast charger?
It’s ok to have a higher price to cover the installation costs, but 11 times more? And when the installation is paid, will they lower the price? Only fools think that.
