Save Money with Fast, Local EV Charger Installation in Birmingham
One of the biggest questions for new electric vehicle (EV) owners is simple: where should I charge, and how much will it cost?
While public charging networks are growing, the price difference between using a home EV charger and relying on public charging points is significant — and the savings can be huge.
At Brum-E, based in Birmingham, we help drivers across the West Midlands get their home EV chargers installed quickly, so they can start saving money from day one.
The Cost Difference: Public Charging vs Home Charging
Charging your EV at home is far more cost-effective than relying on public charging stations. Let’s break down the numbers:
| Scenario | Cost per kWh | Cost to Fully Charge (50kWh) | Approx. Range | Cost per 500 Miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home Charging (Standard Tariff) | 22p | £11.00 | 200 miles | £27.50 |
| Home Charging (Off-Peak Tariff) | 7p | £3.50 | 200 miles | £8.75 |
| Public Rapid Charger | ~85p | £42.50 | 200 miles | £106.25 |
| Petrol Vehicle (typical) | N/A | ~£70.00 | 500 miles | ~£70.00 |
Key takeaway:
- Charging at home on a day/night tariff can cost as little as £3.50 for a full battery.
- Using public rapid chargers could cost up to 12 times more for the same energy.
- Over the course of a year, switching to home charging can save hundreds — even thousands — of pounds.
