Thinking about leasing an electric car, but worried about how you'll keep it charged?
You're not alone. For many people considering the switch to electric, charging is the single biggest question mark – where do I charge, how long does it take, and what will it cost me?
Fortunately, with over 87,000 public charge points across the UK and home charging costs as low as 1.4p per mile, electric car charging has never been more accessible or affordable.
This comprehensive guide cuts through the confusion and tells you everything you need to know about electric car charging in 2026 – from plugging in at home to using rapid chargers on longer journeys.
If you have off-street parking at home, this is all you need to do:
Home chargers that come with a cable permanently attached are known as ‘tethered’ charging points.
Home chargers without a cable attached are called ‘untethered’, ‘socketed’ or 'universal'. With this type of charger, you need to use the charging cable normally stored in the boot of your car.
Which option is best? In my experience, a tethered home charger makes most sense. The cable is always there when you need it. You appreciate a tethered charger especially when it’s raining and you don’t have to scramble around in the boot trying to find the cable.
You can also connect the car to a normal 3-pin socket in your house to charge up (with a suitable cable).
However, we don’t recommend charging from a 3-pin socket and most manufacturers state that you should only resort to this method in emergencies.
It’s much safer – electrically speaking – to charge your car’s battery from a purpose-built EV charging wall box.

As we've seen in the section above, the most convenient – and cheapest – place for EV drivers to charge an electric car is at home, assuming you have off-street parking.
Home charging allows you to save significant amounts of money by signing up to a specialist EV tariff from one of the UK’s energy suppliers (such as E.ON Next Drive, Select's EV charging partner).
How often do you need to charge at home? It depends on the size of your battery and how many miles you drive per day.
For example, I have a fairly typical 30-mile commute in my Tesla Model Y (which has quite a large battery) and only charge a couple of times a week. That’s plenty of charging time to cover both my daily commute and also weekend trips out with the family.
If you don't have a driveway, but park on the street outside your home, cross-pavement charging solutions could be the answer. The government is investing £25 million to help local councils roll these out across England.
Cross-pavement systems allow you to run a charging cable safely from your home to your car without creating a trip hazard. The cable passes through a dedicated channel installed directly into the pavement surface. The channel has a self-closing mechanism, so when the cable isn't in use, the pavement returns to a flat, safe surface for pedestrians.
The big advantage? You can charge using your home electricity supply on an off-peak tariff, rather than paying typically 52-76p per kWh at public chargers – a potential saving of £100s a year.
Select Car Leasing has partnered with Kerbo Charge, one of the UK's leading providers of cross-pavement charging products. They can guide you through the entire process from initial assessment to installation.
If you can't install your own home charger, and cross-pavement charging isn’t an option, you might be able to use someone else’s charger. Community charging – sometimes known as ‘peer-to-peer’ charging – connects EV drivers with local homeowners who are willing to share their private charge points for a fee.
With over 1,000,000 home chargers installed across the UK – far more than the public network – there’s a huge untapped resource sitting on driveways, often unused for 95% of the time. Community charging puts these chargers to work.
Several platforms now operate in the UK, with Co Charger being the largest. The app shows you local ‘hosts’ near your home or workplace, with details of their charging speed (typically 7.4 kW), connector type, availability, and pricing. Most UK residents live within a mile of a Co Charger host, making it a realistic alternative to having your own charger.
Pricing varies by host, but community charging is typically much cheaper than public charging, often just £2-4 per hour or around 25-35p per kWh. For hosts, it’s a way to earn £200 to £1,000 a year from an otherwise idle asset.
There are more and more EV charging points popping up at convenient public locations every month, and this process is likely to continue throughout 2026 and beyond.
For example, supermarkets and restaurants want to attract EV drivers and are installing electric car charging points in their car parks. Arrive, plug in, shop/eat, and benefit from a quick top up.
You will also find EV chargers at many types of other common destinations such as gyms, community centres, B&Bs, cinemas, shopping centres, etc. While you go about your business, your car charges up.
If you go on a long trip, you may well need to charge your car en route.
Look out for charging points known as ‘rapid’ or ‘ultra-rapid’ chargers. These charge your car’s battery at a very fast rate, allowing you to get back on the road after typically 20-50 minutes.
More and more rapid chargers are being installed at motorway service stations, where you would normally stop in a petrol or diesel car.
There is also now an ever-growing number of large, dedicated charging hubs just for electric vehicles. These look like normal service stations, but there are no petrol or diesel pumps in sight. There is usually a wide range of charging speeds available to suit all types of electric car, from the most basic to the most advanced.
Many companies and public sector organisations are also beginning to install electric vehicle charging points for their staff and visitors.
If you have a willing boss, you can potentially charge your car at work every day. This option is particularly valuable for drivers who cannot charge at home.
Some streets already have charge points installed on lamp-posts and/or pavements for low emission vehicles.
There will no doubt be many more of these built out by local authorities and councils in the coming months to meet demand, especially in busy towns and cities.
Now let’s look at some practical examples of electric car charging costs at various locations.
We’ll focus on the Volkswagen ID.4 which was the second most popular leased electric car among Select Car Leasing customers in 2025.
The Volkswagen ID.4 Pro Match model has an official range of 347 miles and a useable battery capacity of 77 kWh.
Let’s analyse charging your Volkswagen ID.4 at home on E.ON’s Next Drive Smart tariff – providing an off-peak charging rate of just 6.5p per kWh for a 6-hour period from midnight.
We’ll assume you charge 50% of the battery, say from 30% to 80% full. Here is a table showing the costs and supporting data for a standard 7.4 kW home charger:
| Net Battery Capacity 100% | 77 kWh |
| Net Battery Capacity 50% | 38.5 kWh |
| Home Charging Rate | 6.5p per kWh |
| Home Charging Cost | £2.50 |
| Number of Miles Added (official WLTP) | 174 miles |
| Charging Cost per Mile | 1.4p |
| Charging Time | 5 hours 12 minutes |
Now let’s assess what happens if you charge your ID.4 Pro Match at a fairly modest 50 kW public charger, again from 30% to 80%:
| Net Battery Capacity 100% | 77 kWh |
| Net Battery Capacity 50% | 38.5 kWh |
| Public Charging Rate (typical) | 52p per kWh |
| Public Charging Cost | £20.02 |
| Number of Miles Added (official WLTP) | 174 miles |
| Charging Cost per Mile | 11.5p |
| Charging Time | 46 minutes |
Finally, here is the typical charging cost data at a more rapid 150 kW public charger:
| Net Battery Capacity 100% | 77 kWh |
| Net Battery Capacity 50% | 38.5 kWh |
| Rapid Charging Rate (typical) | 76p per kWh |
| Rapid Charging Cost | £29.26 |
| Number of Miles Added (official WLTP) | 174 miles |
| Charging Cost per Mile | 16.9p |
| Charging Time | 16 minutes |
How does driving electric compare to traditional petrol/diesel motoring in terms of cost?
Let’s assume your petrol/diesel car is capable of 40 MPG and fuel costs £1.40 a litre. That results in a cost per mile of just under 16p.
Here are comparative costs per mile when charging an EV in the scenarios we studied above:
| Charging | Fuel Costs per Mile |
| EV at Home | 1.4p per mile |
| EV in Public (50 kW charger) | 11.5p per mile |
| Petrol/Diesel Car | 15.91p per mile |
| EV in Public (150 kW charger) | 16.9p per mile |
So, charging the Volkswagen ID.4 at home is the clear winner – 11 times cheaper per mile than your average petrol/diesel car.
On slower public chargers, EVs work out about 27% cheaper per mile than petrol/diesel cars.
But on the rapid and ultra-rapid chargers, petrol/diesel cars can be cheaper to run – about 6% less per mile.
Obviously, all of the above figures and calculations depend on the cost of electricity at the various locations, as well as the cost of petrol and diesel. Over time, all of the raw input data will change, and the calculations for your leased vehicle will alter.
If you can charge at home, and want to drive down your charging costs as much as possible, you should investigate which home energy tariff will give you the greatest savings.
You can charge your car on a standard variable rate which many people in the UK are on. The current OFGEM Energy Price Cap is 27.69p per kWh (on average). This is the rate you pay for your electricity 24 hours a day on a standard variable tariff.
However, there are now many dedicated EV tariffs available that allow you to make large savings when charging your car.
For example, as we saw above, E.ON’s Next Drive Smart tariff gives you a 6-hour off-peak charging window for your EV at just 6.5p per kWh – much less than the 27.69p on a standard variable tariff.
Do bear in mind, though, that outside the midnight to 6am charging window, you pay a higher rate of roughly 31.24p per kWh. That rate will be applied to all of the electricity you use in the house from 6am to midnight.
Did you know? Because E.ON’s Next Drive tariff is ‘smart’, it will sometimes charge your car outside of the midnight to 6am window, but still only charge you the 6.5p rate. That’s because grid electricity can suddenly become very cheap, for example, if there is a lot of wind energy during a low demand period.
The speed at which you can charge your car depends on multiple factors, one of which is the power rating of the charger itself.
The following table lays out typical charger ratings:
| NAME | CHARGER RATINGS | NOTES |
| SLOW | Less than 7.4 kW | This will generally be if you charge your car on a home 3-pin socket (not recommended). |
| FAST | 7.4 kW to 22 kW | Nearly all home chargers are now rated at 7.4 kW. You can only go above that if you have a 3-phase electricity supply. |
| RAPID | 25 kW to 99 kW | For rapid chargers, we move into ‘DC’ charging (see next section), and speeds up to 99 kW are achievable. |
| ULTRA-RAPID | 100 kW to 400 kW | The latest generation of DC chargers are capable of blazingly fast 400 kW charging, but only a select few cars like the BMW iX3 and the Smart #5 have been engineered to take advantage. |
Ready for a quick GCSE Physics lesson?
The electricity that powers your home is known as ‘Alternating Current’ or AC.
It’s the same type of electricity that flows into your building at work, plus hospitals, gyms, restaurants, etc. – basically AC electricity powers the whole country.
By contrast, the electricity that flows in and out of a battery is called ‘Direct Current’ or DC electricity.
So this is what happens when you charge your EV at home: AC electricity goes through your charging point into the car, gets converted into DC electricity by an ‘on-board charger’, and then that DC electricity goes into the battery.
But when you’re at a rapid or ultra-rapid DC charger, the charging point supplies DC electricity (not AC like at home) and it goes directly into your battery (not via the on-board charger).
This direct DC charging is much more efficient than AC charging and permits the incredible charging speeds up to 400 kW for certain cars.
When it comes to charging, not all electric cars are created equal.
Every EV has a maximum AC charging limit and a maximum DC charging limit.
Let’s consider leasing a Polestar 2 (standard range, single motor) as an example. Here are its AC and DC charging limits:
On a standard home AC single-phase electricity supply, even though the Polestar 2 can charge at 11 kW, you will only receive 7.4 kW, as that is what your home charger is limited to on a single-phase.
However, at work, where you generally find 3-phase supplies, your car may well be able to charge at its 11 kW limit, assuming an appropriate charger has been installed.
If you’ve stopped at a 100 kW DC charger at a motorway service station, the Polestar will have no problem: it can take the full 100 kW.
However, if you plug into say a 200 kW DC charger, the car will be limited to 180 kW, as that is the Polestar’s maximum DC charging rate.
I don’t want to make this too nerdy, but it’s worth just touching briefly on the difference between 400 Volt (400V) and 800 Volt (800V) electric cars.
Most current EVs are 400V. The 400V ‘system architecture’ basically means they can’t DC charge at ultra-fast rates.
800V cars, on the other hand, can produce more charging power for the same amount of current = much faster DC charging.
800V cars include the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Porsche Taycan, Audi Q6 e-tron, and the Lotus Eletre.
When using rapid or ultra-rapid DC chargers, you’ll notice charging speeds drop significantly once your battery reaches about 80%. This is deliberate. The battery management system throttles the power to protect the cells from heat damage and to preserve long-term battery health.
If your battery is 20% full, a 150 kW charger might well deliver its full 150 kW.
Once the battery gets to 80% full, the charging rate could easily drop to 50 kW. By 95%, you might be receiving just 10-20 kW of power.
Waiting for that final 20% can take as long as the first 80%, which is why charging times are usually quoted as ‘10-80%’ or ‘20-80%’.
For most journeys, charging to 80% and moving on is far more time-efficient than waiting for 100%. You’ll reach your destination (or the next charging stop) sooner by topping up twice at 80% than by fully charging once.
This slowdown is far less noticeable with home AC charging. At 7.4 kW, you’re already charging at a rate the battery can comfortably accept almost all the way to 100%. You might see a slight drop in the final few percent, but the difference adds perhaps 15-30 minutes to an overnight charge – nothing you'd notice while you're asleep.
If you want to spend as little time as possible waiting while your car charges on longer trips, here are the Top 10 Fastest Charging Electric Cars available at time of writing (January 2026):
All EVs leased in the UK now come with a Type 2 socket for charging. The plug that fits into a Type 2 socket is called – not surprisingly – a Type 2 plug. See the infographic below to see what a Type 2 socket and plug look like. Type 2 sockets and plugs apply to AC charging; the kind of charging you do at home, or at certain destinations when you’re out and about, for example, in a car park or at a shopping centre.
When you do DC charging, you will see that the plug is larger. This is called a CCS plug (Combined Charging System). If you look at the infographic below, you will see that the CCS plug fills both the normal Type 2 socket, but also the DC socket below it. The direct-to-battery DC electricity flows through that lower part of the socket.
There was once a battle of the rapid charging standards between CCS and another standard called CHAdeMO. A bit like VHS vs Betamax (if you’re old enough to remember that) or TikTok vs Instagram Reels (if you’re not). The old, and very popular, Nissan Leaf had a CHAdeMO socket, but nowadays there are no cars left to lease with CHAdeMO. The new Leaf – capable of 150 kW DC charging – has a CCS socket.

Tesla has its own, extremely reliable charging network known as ‘Superchargers’.
Up until recently, you had to own a Tesla in order to be able to use Superchargers. Not any more.
Tesla is gradually opening its UK Supercharger network to other electric vehicles that use the CCS charging standard. This is how it works for non-Tesla owners:

If you’re signed up to one of the major public charging networks, let’s say InstaVolt, you may not be able to find an InstaVolt charger near to where your car is when it needs a top-up charge.
The solution is to join a charging ‘aggregator’. This is a company that combines various charging networks and gives you access to all of them via a handy app.
Here are some of the main aggregators and the networks they cover (networks are added regularly – check with the provider for a precise, up-to-date list):

If you’ve ever turned up at a public charger only to find you need to download yet another app and create an account before you can charge, you’ll appreciate the change brought in by the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023.
Since 24 November 2024, all new public charge points rated at 8 kW or above, and all existing rapid chargers (50 kW and above), must accept contactless payment. That means you can turn up, tap your bank card or phone, and charge – no app required.
The regulations also require operators to display pricing clearly in pence per kWh before you start charging, so there are no surprises when the bill arrives. And, if something goes wrong, every public charge point must now provide access to a free 24/7 helpline.
There is one caveat, though: older chargers installed before the deadline aren't required to retrofit contactless terminals (unless they’re 50 kW or above). So you may still encounter app-only chargers, particularly on slower 7-22 kW units at car parks or supermarkets. However, as the network continues to grow, an increasing proportion of public chargers will offer tap-and-go payment.
Smart charging means your home charger communicates with your energy tariff supplier to charge your car at the cheapest – and often greenest – times, typically overnight when demand on the grid is lowest.
Here's how it works in practice: You plug in when you get home, tell the app when you need the car ready and how much charge you want (e.g. 80%, 90% or 100%), and the charger handles the rest. Rather than drawing power immediately, it waits until off-peak hours begin, then charges your car while you sleep.
The savings can be significant. On a standard variable tariff, you currently pay around 27.69p per kWh. On a smart tariff like E.ON Next Drive Smart, you pay just 6.5p per kWh during off-peak hours (midnight to 6am). That’s roughly 77% less than charging at peak times, and a fraction of the 50p+ per kWh you would pay at most public chargers.
To use smart charging, you'll need a compatible EV or chargepoint, a smart meter, and the energy supplier’s app to manage your charging schedule.
Vehicle-to-Grid, or ‘V2G’, takes smart charging a step further. Instead of your car simply drawing power from the grid at cheap times, it can send power back when electricity is expensive or in high demand. Effectively, your EV battery becomes a two-way energy storage device.
Octopus Energy’s Power Pack tariff – the UK’s first V2G tariff offering – promises free home charging for participants. It works by charging your car overnight when electricity is cheap, then exporting some of that energy back to the grid during peak hours. Octopus claims typical drivers could save over £600 a year compared to a standard tariff.
However, V2G is still in its early stages and is quite limited. On the Octopus tariff, the only modern EV you can lease that is compatible is the BYD Dolphin – and you’ll also need a specific charger: a V2G-enabled Zaptec Pro.
For now, V2G remains a niche option for early adopters. But, as the technology matures, it could fundamentally change how we think about EV ownership: energy flowing from your house into the car, and vice versa into your house and out into the grid.
Having worked in renewable energy for over a decade, I know that once customers lease an EV, they immediately start thinking about solar panels.
Why? Because charging your electric car at home causes an immediate increase in the amount of electricity you consume. In other words, your electricity bill suddenly goes up. Of course, your fuel/charging cost of driving is much lower with an EV charged at home than a petrol/diesel car (as we saw above), but nonetheless your electricity bill will be higher.
If you get a solar panel system installed, you start generating your own electricity – free of charge from the sun – to complement grid electricity. In addition, if you add battery storage like the Tesla Powerwall 3 or the Sigenergy SigenStor to your solar panels, you can use even more of your solar electricity in the home.
This free-of-charge solar-generated electricity can then power home devices, including your electric car. For every unit of solar electricity in your car’s battery, you get about 4 miles of free driving on sunshine!
Yes. You can use the growing network of public chargers at supermarkets, car parks, and service stations. If you park on the street outside your home, cross-pavement charging solutions like Kerbo Charge let you run a cable safely from your house to your car. You can also use community charging platforms like Co Charger to access private chargers on other people’s driveways. Workplace charging is another option if your employer offers it.
Yes, provided your car has a CCS connector, which all new EVs you can lease do. Approximately 30% of UK Supercharger sites are now open to non-Tesla vehicles. Download the Tesla app, create an account, and follow the on-screen instructions to see which sites are available.
Not necessarily, but it depends on your car and how you use it. Lithium-ion batteries experience slightly more stress when held at very high or very low states of charge for extended periods. Some manufacturers recommend limiting daily charging to 80% and saving 100% for longer journeys.
Others say 100% is fine for everyday use. Check your car’s manual for specific guidance – most modern EVs have battery management systems designed to protect the cells. In any case, if you lease, feel free to charge your battery to 100% whenever you like. You will be handing your car back at the end of the lease and any small degradation in the battery won’t be your concern.
Your car will warn you well in advance, typically with increasingly urgent alerts as the battery depletes. If you do run out completely, the car will slow down and eventually stop, just like a petrol/diesel car running out of fuel. You’ll need to call breakdown recovery to transport you to a charger. Many breakdown services now carry mobile charging units or can tow you to the nearest charging point. The best approach is to plan ahead, using apps like Zapmap, so you don’t run out of charge.
A 7.4 kW home charger typically costs between £800 and £1,300 including installation. Prices vary depending on the charger model and the complexity of the installation – longer cable runs or upgrades to your fuse box will add to the cost. If you rent your home or live in a flat, you may be eligible for the EV Chargepoint Grant, which covers up to 75% of the cost (capped at £350).
Yes, it’s completely safe. Electric car charging systems are designed to handle wet conditions. The connectors, cables, and charge ports are weatherproofed, and the electrical current only flows once a secure connection has been established. You can charge in rain, snow, or any other weather conditions without risk.
Most people don't. A typical EV has a range of 200-300 miles on a full charge, and the average UK driver covers around 20 miles a day. Many EV owners plug in once or twice a week rather than daily.
Most public chargers accept contactless payment. This is now mandatory for all new rapid chargers over 8 kW. You tap your card or phone on the terminal, charge your car, and the cost is debited automatically. Many networks also offer apps that let you start a charge and pay through your phone. Some older or slower chargers may still require you to download a specific app or use an RFID card.
Technically, yes, but we don’t recommend it for regular use. A 3-pin plug delivers around 2.3 kW, adding only about 8 miles of range per hour – a full charge could take 24 hours or more. It’s also not designed for the sustained load of EV charging, which can cause overheating. Most manufacturers say 3-pin charging should only be used in emergencies. A dedicated home charger is safer, faster, and more efficient.

This is the third car Jamie has supplied to me via Select, always a pleaseure to do business with, would definatley reccomend!
I had a great experience working with Niall to get my Kia Sportage through Select Car Leasing. Niall was prompt, helpful, and patient as I explored which car and leasing plan was best for me. The communication was great, keeping me up to date with my order processing and car delivery. The delivery was smooth and easy with clear communication on timings and expectations on when my car would arrive, making the process stress-free. My car arrived within a month of placing my order and they made sure I had all the information I needed to be able to grab the keys and go when it arrived. I'd highly recommend Niall and Select Car Leasing if you want a smooth, stress-free, and affordable leasing experience.
Very responsive to my initial enquiry - moved very quickly through all the steps and ultimately got me a new car on the drive exactly when originally promised! I was particularly impressed with the way my consultant helped to support me in addresing queries from the finance company and resolve them in a good time - thankyou Matt!
