According to RAC Charge Watch, dropping wholesale energy prices are not reflected in the cost of public rapid and ultra-rapid EV charging.

Campaign group FairCharge and the RAC have launched a new public EV charging charter to improve the charging experience and boost EV adoption.

The UK is predicted to see a 13% increase in new EV registration in 2023 despite dropping to a 30-year low in 2022, new research has said.

A new study by the RAC has revealed that the UK is “not on track” to meet its target of having six or more rapid or ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) chargers at every motorway service in England by the end of 2023.

Insurance company RAC, has named electric vehicle (EV) charging developer Egg, its new EV charging partner.

The RAC and EV campaign group FairCharge have called on the UK government to decouple electricity wholesale prices from gas in a bid to reduce the costs associated with EV charging.

“Continued progress in the sale of electric vehicles (EVs) needs to be supported by faster deployment of charging infrastructure, which is falling behind,” said the Climate Change Committee (CCC) in its latest Progress Snapshot.

Figures released by the RAC Foundation has disclosed that the number of pure battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) has exceeded half-a-million to reach 519,266 at the end of June 2022.

New analysis from the RAC in association with the national FairCharge campaign has found that the average price of charging an electric car at a public rapid charger has soared 21%.

​British Gas has teamed up with the RAC to offer electric vehicle (EV) charger installation as well as a bespoke electricity tariff to vehicle leasing customers.
