Indeed, I know of some who from the huge savings they making on fuel each month by home charging it is paying for their car payments. Obviously they doing the miles to warrant that daily and is within the cars range. So no real added costs of public charging for most of there driving.
So far this month has been my most expensive month charging, since getting my Ev. So far I’ve used 245.85kwh (£16.50) / 12.3460kwh at a telsa ota £6.29 and 7.54kwh at an Instavolt £4.07 total cost £26.86.
Did a 280 mile round trip down to Harlow and back also. So since the beginning of feb, I’ve spent £93.73 on fuel. Have driven 2,372 miles, So just under 4p a mile that includes all public charging, preconditioning and using climate comfort in this heat as well as sometimes sitting in the car waiting for an hour or less, with the climate running.
Even if I got 400miles from my petrol mhev a full tank cost £60 (which sometimes I’d only get 200miles in winter, driving locally) I’d of spent at least £355.8O on fuel. So not bad and I guess if you drive more the saving would be huge. There no debating that. Guess those savings will help against my next AP in a 2028 or a deposit on a car off the scheme. The fact is each year we head closer to no new ice cars, so more and more EVs will be on the scheme as less an less ice are made and offered to the scheme. As I predict demand for the less and less made each year will be huge. My view has certainly changed as has my actual car usage and that suits an Ev more.
