At my local Supercharger, it costs $0.47 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and just $0.18 from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. That means if you can wake up a little earlier or go to bed a little bit later, you'll save nearly three times the money. This is not to say that I never charge during peak hours, but I try to save the longer charges for off-peak hours.

James lives in a terraced home with no off-street parking, which is a scenario common across the U.K.'s urban and suburban neighborhoods. That meant relying entirely on public charging infrastructure for his Polestar 2. Over 12 months, he drove a total of 8,956 miles and spent £1,194.56 ($1613.15) on electricity from public chargers. That works out to roughly 13 pence ($0.18) per mile, according to his on-screen calculations.
