    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Intranicity, I understand that you are getting your results by gaining the system and fair enough. But at 4 miles per kWh on a home charger using normal rate electricity would be costing 4p per mile. I can’t get my head around mpg equivalents.</p>

    well with a home charger you should do better than 16p kWH, infact just going to a BP Pulse charger brings it down to 15p and much quicker. You can get off peak charging for 5p kW.

    I personally think the attraction of EV is the saving, and if you have one, you try and save where you can.

    Normal driving at 60 and below has been giving me between 4.6 and 4.9 miles kW

    4p a mile x 40 miles equates to £1.60 for a car compared to a non EV doing 40mpg @ £1.26 ltr  or £5.72 for those 40 miles (14.3 mile)
