Thank you for taking the time and trouble to write and give me advice but I do struggle to understand things. So I would have to ditch British Gas and sign up to Octopus? I understand I would be charging through the night as that’s when it’s cheaper but the washing machine and what not is throwing me, why should I do them during the night, surely I can use doing the day like I am now and will pay the same, it’s making it sound like all my bills will go up if using things during the day? Starting to think EV is not for me at this stage tbh as it’s already worrying me haha.
HarryH, I’ve had my EV since late January and it’s costing us £9.32 per 100 miles, my last MB car was a BMW X1 20d xdrive for comparison was averaging 43 mpg or £16.46 per 100 miles at today’s price.
We are on British Gas standard tariff, we stayed with the standard tariff because both of us are retired and at home most of the day, the cheaper night tariff would have worked out more expensive for us considering the mileage we do.
