The latest webinar in the Transport + Energy Explains series explores the costs of commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging, in association with Brook Green Supply
The event will look past wholesale electricity prices to understand the charges that make up an energy bill.As electric transport gathers pace, businesses are investing in charging infrastructure to support everything from public charging networks to bus depots and electric freight operations. But what determines the ongoing cost of powering these sites, and why can seemingly similar charging operations face very different electricity bills?

The webinar takes place on 24 November at 11am. Drawing on bespoke modelling and analysis from Brook Green Supply’s Future Cost of EV Charging report, the discussion will explore four charging environments – AC and DC public charging, bus depots and electric HGV depots – and how their energy costs could evolve towards 2030.
From grid connections and network charges to location and how intensively infrastructure is used, the session will unpack the factors shaping charging costs and what organisations should consider when planning and investing in infrastructure.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Wholesale electricity – how much of an EV charging site’s energy bill comes from the electricity itself
- Network and connection costs – why can securing a larger grid connection mean higher ongoing costs?
- Geography – why does the location of a charging site affect what operators pay?
- Capacity utilisation – what happens when charging infrastructure is built ahead of demand?
