New energy price cap to make charging electric car more expensive than petrol

The RAC has issued a warning to motorists that electric vehicles will be pricier to maintain than petrol cars once the new cap comes into effect on October 1.

According to the insurance company, the price of a full charge for an electric vehicle with a 64-kilowatt hour battery will be £33.80 — up from the current cost of £18.37.
