Re: Octopus Tariffs
I'm in the interesting position as an Octopus Go customer that when the new tariff changes hit on the 1st April, their calculation is that I'll be worse off! Basically most of my consumption is in the 4 hour 9p window and despite the other 20 hours reducing in cost slightly, my minimal consumption i...

Re: Renault 5 EV
My wife's Zoe goes back in October; currently this is top of her list as a replacement.
Hopefully the local Renault dealer will have a demonstrator in a few months time.

Re: Test driving EVs
I have bought cars several times without test drives - a new Galaxy (replacing the one I had) and then two Ford Mondeo estates. Test drove the MG5 but didn't bother to do that with the MG4 I replaced it with. My wife however always needs to do so as she's 4' 10" and has often found the cars at ...

Cool.
That's 74.385p/kWh with the deemed 50% export.

FiT 24/25
The new FiT tariffs from April '24 haven't been published yet as far as I can see.
They are based on the December RPI (5.2%) I think so unsure why there's a delay.
Have I missed something?

Re: Morrisons forecourts to change
I try to use MFG on long trips rather than motorway service stations - they often have a petrol station with 6 or 8 chargers within a mile or less of a junction. They always work and have never had to queue. Downside is that they aren't cheap but given I don't use them often, happy to pay for the co...

Re: Sofar me3000sp
I've got a single ME3000; about 5 years old now I guess. The draw is near as to zero as I can get it. The secret is to a) ensure you've frozen the CT direction and b) use the calibration setting to alter the value shown it until the unit matches your actual measurement of the import/export (I use th...
