Most EV charging sites are written for everyone, which means they're written for no one in particular. They'll tell you what a CCS connector is. They won't tell you which charger to aim for when you've a meeting in twenty minutes and 9% on the battery.
eForecourts exists for that second situation. It's built around the working day of someone who drives to customers: find a charge fast, understand what it costs, and sort out the work admin — expensing it, the tax on an electric company car, business mileage — without wading through jargon.
What you'll find here
- A charger finder that takes your postcode and shows real charge points nearby, sorted by distance, filterable by speed — so you can grab a rapid charge between calls.
- A cost calculator for working out what charging actually costs you, per charge and per mile, at home or on the public network.
- Plain-English guides to the money side: claiming charging on expenses, the Advisory Electricity Rate, Benefit-in-Kind on electric company cars, and salary sacrifice.
Who's behind it
How we keep it honest
- Independent. We're not owned by a charging network and we don't take payment to rank one above another.
- Real data. Charge point locations come from Open Charge Map. We don't invent availability figures — where data isn't reliably published (like real-time "free now" status), we say so rather than guess.
- Clear disclosure. If we ever earn a commission from a link, we'll say so plainly, and it won't change what we recommend.
- Kept current. Prices and tax rules change. We date our pages and update them — the charging prices used in our calculator reflect UK averages as of spring 2026.
