Motorway Charging Tips

  • • Most motorway service stations now have rapid chargers (50kW+) from at least one network
  • • Download Zap-Map to check live availability before stopping
  • • Charge to 80%, the last 20% takes disproportionately longer and you'll reach the next services easily
  • • Motorway rapid charging costs 60-79p/kWh, plan longer charges at cheaper off-motorway locations when possible
  • • Read our EV road trip guide for detailed journey planning tips
