The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average cost per kWh is for ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging; and how this has changed since 2021.

Answered by Keir Mather

This information is available from external industry sources such as Zapmap, who estimate that the current average cost of rapid/ultra rapid public charging is around 76p/kWh, as of February 2026. This price level has remained broadly constant over the past year. Average public charging price data is produced and published by Zapmap here: https://www.zapmap.com/ev-stats/charging-price-index.
