RAC's fuel watch and charge watch suggest a drop is more likely in petrol/diesel costs:
https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/fuel-watch/
and have done a similar summary for charging:
https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/electric-cars/charging/electric-car-public-charging-costs-rac-charge-watch/
The rate of change with public chargers is concerning, but it will likely peak at some point, before inevitable regulation.
Aldosterone-
Agree about the cost of public charging.
From that RAC link:
cost per mile
Electric using rapid charge 10p
Electric using ultra rapid 12p
Petrol 19p
Diesel 21pThat seems a fair difference still even on ultra rapid charge
My home charging overnight is @ 7.2p/kwh so it costs £3.75 to fill up, for 200ish miles range = 1.8p per mile. When that goes up by 80% in Oct it'll still be dirt cheap compared with fuel.

Pretty sure that's 100% bollocks, even without the mooted new price cap fix from Truss. I can't be arsed to work out exactly, but I think even if you used the most expensive commercial chargers it's not going to get there, certainly not using home tariffs.
Obvs I may be wrong from that link, but it also supposes no rise in petrol/diesel costs and not using off-peak home charging so is skewed IMO.
