If you can't charge at home with the cheap EV electricity tariff, not sure I'd suggest an EV yet. I get 7p per kWh and 3 miles per kWh. So that's 2.33p per mile. For petrol to match that, at say, ยฃ1.50 a litre, you need a MGP of about 300. If you kWh is 70p though, you might as well use ICE for now. Unless you want an EV for planet or local polution reasons.
My kWh is about 15 cent (euro cents), but public chargers are a lot more than that. I can get petrol or diesel at around 1.10 through clever scheming (hey I'm not the one doing the tax evasion, I just benefit from it). I could install a charger at the family home, but that's 100 km from the city I live in. In the city it's 32 or 45 cent per kWh depending on which public charger you use.
If public chargers were 20 cents per kWh for fast charging, it would be an entirely different value proposition. Right now it's just a bit more expensive than diesel.
No point installing a charger unless it's were you live. If you have to use public chargers only, an EV probably doesn't work out cheaper. At least here in the UK. The public chargers seamed to have the cost set to match fossil fuel. About 70-80p per kWh. Telsa chargers are less, but who wants to give that man any money are all?
