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.

RAC's fuel watch and charge watch suggest a drop is more likely in petrol/diesel costs:

and have done a similar summary for charging:

The rate of change with public chargers is concerning, but it will likely peak at some point, before inevitable regulation.
