How this is worked out4.0 mi/kWh · 26.32p/kWh · 10% charging lossesDetails

We use the average efficiency from journeys submitted by drivers. Changing the charging type only changes the electricity price. The calculation includes 10% charging losses.

For the MPG comparison we use the latest UK average fuel prices: 174.57p/l petrol and 199.33p/l diesel (19 Oct 2026).

Charging rates used: Ofgem price cap · 8p EV tariff · HMRC public charging · 80p rapid charging.
