Cost per kWh
Cost per kWh is the price charged for each kilowatt-hour of electrical energy supplied during an EV charging session. It lets drivers compare the energy component of charging prices across networks and locations. UK Public Charge Point Regulations require public-charging prices to be displayed clearly in pence per kWh before charging begins. A charging session can also involve parking, subscription or overstay charges, so the total session cost may include more than the energy price alone.
