Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average cost per kWh is for ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging; and how this has changed since 2021.

This information is available from external industry sources such as Zapmap, who estimate that the current average cost of rapid/ultra rapid public charging is around 76p/kWh, as of February 2026. This price level has remained broadly constant over the past year. Average public charging price data is produced and published by Zapmap here: https://www.zapmap.com/ev-stats/charging-price-index.
