Worth mentioning that the run to Edinburgh and back comprises 25% solar power, 25% home charging and 50% street charging for an hour. Breakdown cost for the 280 mile trip.
Solar power zero
Homecharge £3
Streetcharge £12
Total £15

That same trip at 30mpg and £8 per gallon (absolutely generic and probably wildly inaccurate).... £74.66.

The EV runs the same trip at an 80% reduction. :) That pays for half of last night out.:) :lol:

They condensate too! Not much of a weekend ad for the half mill pad? :o
Saw this yesterday morning off for a walk while EV charged.

I will do! We are being back down this weekend too. Its such a great city to walk in. At different points weekend past I felt like I was in Brussels and then Amsterdam.

A seamless transfer process from the old provider (Shell) to Octopus today, also signed her up to get a smart meter fitted.

The flat is second floor, it was hot enough with no heating on that we had windows open! Met a couple of neighbours and never heard any noise. All good.

This is my local, can get a pint through the hatch and enjoy the air. :D Might head up to The Oxford Bar this weekend.

Here we are again! Gad a quick check around the place and found 4 bulbs that were pulling 240W total. Changed out and now pulling 16W total. Took my meter with me and showed son & daughter the before/after. They learn every day!
