Public Charging

Tap. Charge. Go

Public charging can often mean downloading multiple apps to your smartphone or having several charge cards. Not only does this make charging a hassle, but it’s also a challenge for expense tracking, creating even more fleet admin.

Types of public chargers

Unlike traditional refuelling, charging an EV happens at different speeds, and across the UK, there are a variety of chargers. Your situation and needs will dictate the type of charger required and when:

Fast
  • Charging speeds from 7 to 22kW
  • Ideal if your vehicle is parked for several hours
  • Most home and workplace chargers are this type
  • Mainly be used to charge your vehicle during the working day or overnight
  • Typically the cheapest to use, costing roughly the price of electricity at home

Rapid
  • Charging speeds up to 43kW AC or 50kW DC
  • Typically 0-80% charge in around 40 minutes (subject to battery size)
  • Often found at service stations along with ultra-rapid chargers
  • Ideal for a quick top-up while on the road
  • Depending on the provider, you’ll pay more to rapid charge, with costs up to 2-3 times as expensive as home charging
Ultra-rapid
  • Charging speeds from 50kW to 350kW (where supported)
  • Typically 10-80% in 18 minutes
  • Generally situated with rapid chargers at service stations or at bespoke charging locations
  • The most expensive option, with a full recharge often costing the same as a tank of petrol or diesel
