They must then pay for the electricity used and that amount varies depending on what type of charger they are using. It is 40p per kWh electricity consumption at the slower ‘standard charging units’ of 7kw or 22kW.
with 16 rapid units available. This year there are plans for another 119 charge points to go live this year.
