Billed per kWh or per minute: which one costs you more?

ggoodcharge team5 min read · Oct 2025

Charging power is the deciding factor

Per-minute billing penalises cars that charge slowly: you pay for time, not energy. For those vehicles, the per-kWh rate is almost always fairer.

Our recommendation

Always check the billing model before you plug in. goodcharge flags it clearly on every station listing.
