Motorway Charging Tips

• Most motorway service stations now have rapid chargers (50kW+) from at least one network
• Download Zap-Map to check live availability before stopping
• Charge to 80% — the last 20% takes disproportionately longer and you'll reach the next services easily
• Motorway rapid charging costs 60-79p/kWh — plan longer charges at cheaper off-motorway locations when possible
• Read our EV road trip guide for detailed journey planning tips
