Smart EV Drivers Guide to Reducing Charging Costs
Welcome to smarter charging with Andersen
If you’ve recently purchased an electric vehicle or are thinking about making the switch, understanding your charging options is the key to unlocking the true cost-saving benefits of EV ownership.
At Andersen, we believe that charging at home should be effortless, elegant, and economical. Here’s your complete guide to reducing your charging costs and driving smarter.
Why Home Charging Saves You More
Did you know that charging your EV at home can save you thousands of pounds each year compared to using public chargers? The average cost of public rapid charging is significantly higher than at-home rates. In 2025, many EV-specific tariffs offer rates of under 7p per kWh, with the current average for dedicated EV tariffs at 7.55p per kWh.
Charging at home:
Your guide to smart tariffs
Dedicated smart charging tariffs allow you to access savings of over £400 each year. By charging with a specific tariff, rather than the standard electricity rate, you can charge your electric vehicle cheaply and efficiently.
The table below provides a breakdown of some of the cheapest EV charging tariffs currently available:
