Ditch Fuel Bills: Calculate Your EV Charging Savings Now!

Are petrol prices making you wince every time you fill up? You're not alone. It feels like every journey starts with a mini-budget crisis at the pump! That's why so many drivers are making the switch to electric vehicles (EVs). Beyond the eco-benefits and that super-smooth, quiet ride, there's a big question on everyone's mind: Will an EV actually save me money?


The answer, in short, is a resounding YES, for most drivers. But "most" isn't good enough, right? You want to know about you. Your driving habits, your current car, your electricity costs – these all play a part.

That's why we at Lemac Power have created something really useful: an interactive EV Savings Calculator right here on this page! No more guesstimates or confusing formulas. Just plug in a few details, and you'll instantly see the potential savings of switching to electric and charging smarter with a Lemac Power home charger.


Let's face it, while saving the planet is a fantastic bonus, for many of us, the day-to-day cost is what really matters. Petrol prices jump around like crazy, influenced by everything from global events to local supply. Electricity prices? Generally much more stable and, crucially, often significantly cheaper per mile.  

Think about it: powering your car from your home electricity supply is like having your own personal fuel station, with prices you can often control, especially if you switch to an off-peak charging tariff.


Want to supercharge those savings? Home charging is the answer. It's not just about convenience (although waking up to a fully charged car every day is pretty amazing). It's about smart economics:

  • Cheaper Energy: Home electricity is usually cheaper than public charging points. Time-of-use tariffs can slash your overnight charging costs even further.  
  • Total Control: You decide when to charge, taking advantage of the cheapest electricity rates and fitting charging perfectly into your lifestyle.
  • No More Petrol Station Detours: Say goodbye to those time-wasting, overpriced petrol station visits!

And this is where Lemac Power EV Chargers come into their own. Engineered for safe, fast, and reliable home charging, Lemac Power chargers put you in command of your EV's running costs. They are designed to be user-friendly and built to last, ensuring your EV is always ready to go, without emptying your bank account.


Plus, think of it this way: those fuel savings aren't just pocket money. Over time, they can significantly offset the initial cost of installing a Lemac Power home charger itself! Imagine your reduced running costs gradually paying for the convenience and control of home charging – it's a smart investment that keeps on giving.

Electric vehicle (EV) owners are always looking for ways to reduce their charging costs, and with the right combination of a smart energy tariff and an efficient home charger, the savings can be significant. Pairing the new Utilities Warehouse (UW) EV tariff with a Lemac Power 7kW Charger is an excellent way to drive down costs and enjoy convenient, hassle-free charging.


Off-peak tariffs allow you to charge your EV during hours when energy demand is low, often at a fraction of the standard rate. The UW EV tariff stands out with its highly competitive 7p/kWh off-peak rate, making it one of the best options on the market for cost-conscious drivers.

Pairing the Utilities Warehouse EV tariff with a Lemac Power 7kW Charger offers even greater benefits:


Cost Savings: By using the Lemac Power smart charger, you can easily schedule charging during the UW off-peak window (12am to 5am), ensuring you always benefit from the 7p/kWh rate. For most EV owners, this could mean over 75% in savings compared to standard rates and public charging.


Smart Charging Features: Lemac Power chargers are equipped with smart functionality, allowing you to set your charging sessions to start automatically during off-peak hours. You won’t need to worry about manually adjusting your charger every night—simply plug in your EV, and the charger will handle the rest.


Optimized for Home Use: The Lemac Power 7kW charger is perfect for overnight home charging, delivering a full charge for most EVs within the UW off-peak window. Whether you have a Nissan Leaf, a Kia e-Niro, or any other EV or PHEV model, this pairing ensures your car is ready to go each morning at a fraction of the cost.


Bundled Savings with UW: Utilities Warehouse doesn’t just help you save on electricity—by bundling your gas, broadband, and mobile services, you can cut costs across your household bills, making UW one of the best all-around options for budget-conscious homeowners.

Off-peak tariffs allow you to charge your EV during hours when energy demand is low, often at a fraction of the standard rate. The UW EV tariff stands out with its highly competitive 7p/kWh off-peak rate, making it one of the best options on the market for cost-conscious drivers.


For example, charging a Nissan Leaf (40kWh battery) using the UW tariff costs just £2.80 for a full charge. By comparison, a standard home tariff at 22.36p/kWh would cost £8.94, while public chargers average £20 or more. Clearly, the savings with UW and other off peak tariffs are substantial.
