Dundee cuts public EV charging tariffs from 1 September across Evolt network
Dundee City Council will reduce AC charging rates from 57p per kWh to 55p per kWh and rapid charging from 69p per kWh to 67p per kWh from Tuesday, 1 September, following a review of operating costs and usage with Evolt. Ultra-rapid chargers rated at 100 kW or above will remain at 69p per kWh. Scotland has more than 13,000 public EV chargers.
Why it matters
The tariff cut signals that municipal operators can adjust pricing downward when cost reviews permit, offering a competitive benchmark for other councils and CPOs managing public networks. It also demonstrates how local authorities balance cost recovery with driver affordability on owned infrastructure.
