tesla superchargers are generally cheaper than standalone charging network providers, UK energy prices are indeed insane, UK consumer rights are abhorrent now that they've left the EU, and teslas are more efficient than most other EVs

If you charge at a Gridserve fast charger, as you might find at a motorway service station, you can look forward to paying 66p/kWh [1] for electricity.

On the other hand, an industrial user of electricity might pay 22p/kWh [2] so these fast chargers have a big profit margin.

Britain's prices shot up with everyone else in Europe's when Putin reduced the gas supply, but Britain is more reliant on gas than many other countries so the price hasn't come back down.

Sjælland's overnight price last night dropped to about 0.75kr, but in Britain it was 2.10kr! The peak prices today were similar, 2.70kr and 2.80kr, but Britain had that for most of the day, and Sjælland just 4 hours.

Britain also has buildings with worse insulation, fewer people living in apartments, and much less use of district heating.

UK electricity prices blew out in 2021, fortunately, we are now back below the September 2021 prices - at least for wholesale electricity.

Consumer, however, are paying 3/4/5x what we were in 2021 thanks to - well absolutely no idea.
