Home charger payback against public charging
Enter your own mileage, your car's efficiency, your own electricity rate and the public price you pay, along with the installed price of the charger you are weighing up. The tool works out the yearly cost of charging at home against charging in public on your figures, and how many months it would take for the charger to pay for itself. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere; the sum runs on this page only.

This is a calculation on your own figures and the register's sourced rules. It can be wrong or incomplete for your case. It is not advice.
Before you rely on this, check:
- your own electricity tariff and standing charges with your supplier, not just the unit rate;
- the price actually shown at the public charge point when you plug in;
- the fitted price and warranty terms in writing from the installer you choose;
- whether any grant, tariff or VAT position affecting your figures has changed since you read this; and
- anything affecting your own finances with a regulated adviser or your lender, if borrowing to pay for the charger.
