One of the UK’s charging providers decided to establish a flat rate of £1 ($1.14) per kWh. This means the price won’t change, regardless of usage. Customers who pick slower AC charging will pay the same. There’ll be no differentiation.
This hike has been made official by Osprey Charging Network which has CCS, CHAdeMO, and Type 2 chargers scattered across the UK. Covering most of England, Wales, and only some parts of Scotland, this company doesn’t require any membership, doesn’t apply surprise fees, and does not require minimum spending.
In July, this company was charging £0.66 ($0.75) per kWh, while in August 2021, the price was £0.40 ($0.46) per kWh. Before August 2021, Osprey had a flat rate of £0.36 ($0.41) per kWh. The price of charging an EV with this provider almost tripled in a little over a year.
