""For too long, EV charging in the UK has been built for the privileged few with a driveway," said Asif Ghafoor, Be.EV's chief executive. "Those who rely on public charging - people in flats, terraced housing or busy city centres - pay much more than those who can plug in at home. That's not just unfair, it's a barrier to mass adoption.""
""Our new 39p/kWh price point proves ultra-rapid charging can be cheaper than filling a petrol tank. It tears down one of the last excuses not to go electric. Drivers deserve a network that's fast, fair and future-proof - and we're determined to deliver it.""
"Be.EV says its new tariff is designed to end this "inequality" and make EV ownership accessible for everyone, not just homeowners with private driveways."
Be.EV announced a 39p per kilowatt-hour tariff that halves the cost of ultra-rapid public charging and positions public ultra-rapid charging as cheaper than refuelling with petrol or diesel. The tariff addresses affordability for drivers without off-street parking, a group constituting around 40% of UK households and subject to a 20% VAT on public charging versus 5% on domestic electricity. The 39p/kWh rate is available to Mega Plan subscribers (£9.99/month) at all times, to Mini Plan subscribers (£4.99/month) at 49p/kWh, and to all drivers during off-peak hours (7pm–7am) via app or RFID card. At 39p/kWh, charging costs roughly 12p per mile.
