@Ian I’m sure electricity cost per mile will always be less than fossil fuel cost per mile. It’s great to, let’s say, save £500/year on fuel costs. But if the equivalent petrol/diesel car costs many thousands less to buy, then it might not make financial sense.
I also hope that for customers already on Octopus Go, they do some special rate for you when your current deal ends. Otherwise your day rate will increase by more than 100% and your 4 hour off-peak/EV rate will increase 50%……….and that’s before the expected 40%+ increase later this year.
For a low mileage driver, the petrol vs electric cost has to be very large to cover the extra upfront expense of an electric vehicle.
