Gridserve increases charging price due to spiralling energy costs

GRIDSERVE Electric Highway has said that due to unprecedented spiralling costs impacting the entire energy sector, it has had to increase pricing – and adopt a tiered approach depending on the power/location of the respective chargers.

Pricing for Medium Power Chargers – typically 60kW – which are primarily located at motorway service areas (the majority of which we upgraded in 2021) is increasing from 30p to 39p per kWh.

Pricing for High Power Chargers – up to 350kW – located at its newly developed Electric Hubs (of which we currently have 13 in construction), is 45p per kWh.

Gridserve says that it recognises that the better the economics are for using electric vehicles versus petrol or diesel, the quicker people will make the switch. To this end,  it is also investing in new solar energy and battery projects that will help to protect its customers against the type of price hikes and instability that is currently affecting the energy market.
