I checked my p*dp**nt account and in the last year i have had just short of 400kWh of free electrons from them from numerous locations.
Now that seems a lot but I'm sure our Scottish friends can knock that out of the park for free.
I got to thinking though that 400 at 7.5p on Go only works out at £30. So was it really that worth it?
Then I thought about it another way, 400 at 4 m/kWh is 1600 miles....for free.
Or put another way 1600 miles at 50mpg (at the very best on a run) in my old ICE is 32 gallons which at today's prices is about £250+.

Was it worth it......HELL YEAH. :)


PS I asterisked P*dp**nt to protect the guilty and I like free electrons.

Should be safe as houses 👍
 
I use a combination of free charging and Octopus go faster. As an exercise, I kept track of costs and mileage in December last year, using the free chargers more than normal. 3600 miles, £32.
 
Has anyone else checked their stats tab in the app to see what they have consumed ?

A prize of the title of 'Chief Freebie' to the winner. :)

"Tightest wallet" shurely?

There's an HS parked up charging in my local Tescos every time I visit, with people sat in it (of course)🙄

My usage in the last 8 months below. I'm not high miles (I've done under 6,000) so far. Not all sessions show up in my account (not sure why), so actual use is slightly higher. All I've paid for so far is:

3 home charges while I waited for my CPS card to arrive
3 rapid charges on my trip to Manchester (one seems to have gone unbilled!)
1 ChargePlace Scotland RFID card (£10)

I know it can't last forever, but while it does it's great!

Impressive, and as you say enjoy while you can.
