Our pricing

At char.gy, we’re committed to affordability and convenience; bringing charging close to home so you can easily charge overnight and save with our Night Saver tariff, ranked most affordable from 2023 to 2026.

To keep your charging smooth and secure, we place a temporary £25 pre-authorisation on your payment card (including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and saved cards) when you start a session. This simply verifies your card and isn’t a charge. You’ll only pay for the energy you use, with any unused amount automatically released after your session.

Pay as you go via our app or website.

Prices may vary across our network. Always check prices on our charge points or app before charging.
