Common questions
When you enter postcodes we use the straight-line distance between them, shown with your result. Roads are usually longer, so enter your road distance instead if you know it, or use the route planner.
Local prices require a start postcode so we can search nearby stations. Distance-only mode uses the national average.
We convert annual miles into kWh using the efficiency assumption, then multiply by each charging rate. Assumptions are shown below.
