    Not sure to be honest it’s really worth worrying about.  Yes, you are at a disadvantage with an EV if you can’t have a home charger, but in the end it’s still much cheaper.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take any savings I can get, but the best savings is just topping up where you can on free juice.

    When deciding to go electric, I did the pricing based on the mpg I was getting in the BMW, around 51mpg and that worked out around 12p a mile.  On that, as long as I am paying less than 55p kW, it’s cheaper than diesel, and that was based on £1.26 a liter.

    First 2 months I’ve done 5.5k miles, at just over 2p a mile and saved just under £540 compared to the BMW, this works out at 285mpg! Sadly this will now increase using Ionity and the new BP prices, but I still think it’s going to be around 5p a mile, still less than 1/2 the price of diesel.

    Summer efficiency really kicking in for the Kona now, charged to 100% today, GOM was saying 361 mile range!
