    I’ve done a basic calculation to see if it’s worth switching to an EV tariff. For us, as long as British Gas keep their Peak Save Sunday half price electric deal, I don’t think it’s worth the hassle. The calculations are basic and I’m very happy for people to correct me if I’m wrong, it’s a learning curve for a lot of us.

    We would only do 4000 miles worth of charging at home, the rest would be public chargers.

    The following is based on 4000 miles at 3.2 KW per mile efficiency = 1250 kw usage per year.

    Current BG price 25.1p = £313.75

    Peak Save Sunday 12.55p = £156.87

    EV overnight tariff 8.99p £111.25

    With the EV tariff, we would also have increased daily standing charge and increased daytime cost per KWh.

    As I’ve said, please feel free to correct my figures, I’m new to this.

    EDIT: I may very well be wrong as these figures seem very cheap.
