I have never had a Tesla and probably never will (purely for car reasons nothing else) but I do admire their efficiency.

I agree that most of the proposed 'solutions' are way too complicated and relatively easily open to abuse. If we start with the simplest solutions: 1. MOT records mileage so problem solved from first MOT onwards. 2. Sale of cars is solved by simply making the recorded mileage compulsory on...

Well done on getting a decent quote from Saga in the first place, they have always been horrendously expensive for me wherever I have lived or whatever car I have (FNCD).

My response was to the @MG Clive post regarding taxing home EV tariffs.

For those in the UK. So let's say I put in 30kWh overnight on my EV tariff, how is that going to be taxed at 3p/mile ? Say I get 4 miles/kWh average over a year, then that's 120 miles so £3.60 tax. That equates to an extra 20p/kWh added. So even at an EV rate of 7p/kWh (27p/kWh with the tax)...

It is but who reads descriptions !!! Skip straight to the table. :)

That's a good comparison list but remember they are all average prices, so you will need to get a quote for your area for the exact price/cost.

Nice idea, I don't know but does it need any ventilation for when it's in use ?

For anyone wanting to compare the annual costs of the tariff they are currently on to a different offering to see whether it's worth switching, please see the attached spreadsheet. It can be difficult to decide as standing charges vary and rates vary by area and of course your own usage, but...

So say 16.000 miles a year. Current fuel duty on fossil fuel is 52.95p/litre plus VAT, total 63.54p/litre or £2.88/gallon. (at 4.54 litres in a gallon) 16,000 miles at 50mpg (let's be generous) is 320 gallons 320 gallons fuel duty is £921. EV - £500 ICE - £921. Not as bad as ICE but still hurts.

not very well though.... 😂

That's because you live in 'Cruising', it's an expensive area.

Make sure you have not reached your contactless limit as the charger will refuse your card and there is no option to enter a PIN.

A credit card is a useful thing. I have one only used for large or exceptional purchases, such as booking or paying for holidays and spending on holidays. (commission free and perfect exchange rates :) ) cars etc. Set to automatically repay in full each month so no interest ever accrued. Section...

Appreciate the technical data for comparison but it means nothing until you sit in one. I have never once in my life measured my seat height or even the length/height/width or anything else on a car. :D
