I’ll try and go slow but feel free to ask specific questions if I lose you along the way.
Electricity tarrifs:
All charges are per kW (killowatt), only your cooker and tumbledryer will use a Killowatt at any great speed, the rest will take some time but it’s a measure of electricity. Day time you get a more expensive charge (it’s when most people consume it) whilst night time rates are lower. When you come out of contract with British Gas, you need to compare the daytime and nighttime rates and see what works best for you. In the meantime, you’ll spend more on your electric bill but you’ll stop going to petrol stations.
Installing the charger:
Depending where the power supply enters your house and where you want the box to be to plug into for the car, you may get no cost at all or you might need to find some money to cover the non-standard install. Take plenty of pictures of the fuseboard (where you can turn your electric supply off) and the outside of the house all the way to where you will park the car.
Driving:
An electric car is different to drive, all the power available comes from the moment you lean on the accelerator, you need to learn to be gentle with it. After that, it’s pretty much the same as an automatic, press harder – go quicker, lift off – slow down.
Test drive the car(s) you’re thinking of getting, you’ll get the picture.
Good luck, it’s easy once you get used to it…
