Electric vehicle charging costs fall in June
New figures have revealed that electric vehicle charging costs fell in July for both peak and off-peak rates.
According to the AA EV Recharge Report for July 2025, slow charging costs, typically found in residential areas with limited off-street parking, fell by up to 2p/kWh.
Peak rate slow charging dropped by two pence while flat rate slow charging fell by a penny, matching the fall in the OFGEM domestic energy price cap. Elsewhere, flat rate fast charging costs rose by 2p/kWh while all other speeds remained unchanged from June.
Meanwhile, the largely stable and uniform pricing provided by charging providers meant that those travelling across the country at the start of the summer holidays were able to charge for similar prices to those they experience at home.
Cheaper charging
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy for The AA, said: “The reduction in slow charging costs meant EV drivers without a driveway were able to experience some of the benefit of cheaper charging outside their front door.
“However, more must be done to bring public charging costs down further, so more drivers able to make the switch to EVs can be convinced of the benefits. Removing VAT from public charging remains a simple and popular solution, but tackling the wider issue of high UK electricity prices would also drive prices down.”
