Average cost to recharge a 70kWh electric car?
What is the average cost to recharge an electric vehicle with, let's say, a 70kWh battery, or even, say, a Volkswagen Golf?

If you're charging a car at home, it depends on your home electricity tariff. Assuming you're paying, say, 33p per kWh of electricity, you'll pay around £23 to fully charge an EV with a 70kWh battery. A public rapid charger will be more expensive - expect to pay around twice this figure for a charge (although it's unlikely you'll fully charge a car this way).

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

My Kia Sportage is ready for changing this year and I am considering ordering an EV. My problem is that my 3 bed bungalow is heated by night storage heaters using Economy 7. This will use a lot of power...
Should I charge my new EV everyday at home or only when the battery is almost flat?
With the price of petrol and diesel lowering slightly and the price of electricity likely to double if not more, will the cost of fuelling an electric car remain less than petrol or diesel?
