Month by month

The barometer starts in October 2026: the trend will appear here month by month.

Method

Price per kWh paid without a subscription (bank card or the network's app with no paid subscription) for a typical 30 kWh charge, session fees included, at the most expensive time of day when the price varies by time. Rapid chargers in the UK whose tariff Kargit knows; networks with at least 10 chargers. Chargers “on motorways”: motorway services identified by their name or address. Figures for the current month are updated every 6 hours; those for a past month are from its last day.
