Electric vehicle (EV) charge point pricing across all speeds on the public network have remained static since last month, according to the AA.
In comparison, petrol drivers saw prices rise in November – and further increases experienced so far in December.
Even those charging their cars at the kerbside outside their homes, during off-peak periods, will on average being spending less on Christmas car travel than petrol car owners, it claims.
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy for the AA, said: “As drivers head off for Christmas, those making longer journeys will be pleased that prices have remained static.
“One of the joys of EV driving is that prices stay for a period of time, whereas petrol prices can fluctuate daily.”

Moto installs 1,000 charging bays
EV drivers have charged their vehicles two million times at Moto’s sites across the UK’s motorway network this year, new figures suggest.
The UK’s largest motorway services operator has installed 1,000 charging bays at its locations across the country, with the 1,000th being installed at its Rugby services.
Moto is aiming to open a further 200 - 300 charging bays by the end of 2025.
It now boasts an average of 14 high-powered chargers per site and more than three-quarters (80%) of its portfolio has a minimum of six high power open access bays.
Moto now has high powered charging bays at 46 of its 56 sites, up from 35 at the beginning of this year.
Moto chief executive Ken McMeikan said: “Reaching the milestone of two million charging events and 1,000 charging bays across our network is an immense achievement.
“Together, with our partners, we have overcome significant barriers to deliver a better charging experience for EV owners, as well as make the prospect of EV ownership more attractive.”
He added: “The work doesn’t stop here, and we look forward to leading the way when it comes to decarbonising the UK’s strategic road network through the rapid expansion of high powered EV charging bays at our sites.”
