How does Zest compare to other networks in terms of pricing?
The price to charge an electric vehicle (EV) on the public charging network can vary substantively, and prices are increasing due to current issues in the energy market.
Updated on a monthly basis, the Zapmap Price Index shows the difference in prices paid depending on the type of charger and will also track how this is changing over time.
Special features of the Zest charging network:
- Zest charging points use 100% renewable energy
Zest is backed by the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF), a dedicated fund established by the government to help develop public charging infrastructure points for electric vehicles throughout the UK.
