Love the numbers – but for comparison, you guys should mention the energy tariff/supplier you’re with, as well as the KW consumed (like Oscarmax did). Oscarmax’ energy consumption (2280kw/h) for example would cost us £124 at our current tariff, or £10 over the last two months (200kw/h). Brydo, does the car tell you how many kwh it charged through the ownership? Boy, i can’t wait to get the GTE, gonna save so much money it’s not even funny. We can do 99% of our journeys fully electric, and due to a small hiccup by Octopus we’re paying now £0.05 per kw/h at night – meaning a full charge in the GTE will cost us around £0.60 (we got a wallcharger, so charging within 4 hours is possible). That all being said, at the moment, most PHEVs on the scheme aren’t worth it. The AP over normal petrol models (usually) is too high to be reasonably able to amortise it. If the difference between petrol and PHEV would be £1000, even in the current climate with rising petrol/leccy cost etc, i’d argue go for a PHEV, but at the moment some of them are twice the AP, at which point it’s uneconomical.
Rene we are on Octopus Go 13.92p peak and 5.0p off peak until March 2023, for some strange reason Octopus gave us an extension of our current tariff when we resigned in March earlier this year.
Our PHEV battery size is 13.8kWh, you will find you only require 10 to 10.4 kWh to full charge, at your current rate that works out 50 pence for 30 miles this time of year. My figures include the odd occasional cost of commercial charging.
We have fitted a 4.4kWh solar array in March earlier this year, our actual electric bills have dropped dramatically, as for charging of the solar array, we receive 4.1p kWh from Octopus, it hardly worth us charging up in the day when we are only paying 5p off peak, however, when our tariff comes to an end in March 2023 this will have to change.
As you will find our during your ownership the PHEV regenerative system will even save you fuel when full discharged and operating like a hybrid.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
