As a counter to this. I am a reasonably high mileage driver 20000 a year. My increase in electricity and my loan repayment costs less than my old fuel bill (previous Kia ceed 1.6 diesel estate vs mg ev5) and in 2 yrs I’ll own the ev5 so gets a much better deal then. Plus insurance, tax, service...
Guessed it was going to happen sooner or later and can’t blame tescos for it. But does make me wonder what’s the point of the 7kw chargers now as local Tesco has a 90min time limit. So would only get 10kw top up max
I’ve never had a problem on my long trips…. Until the last one weekend away started fully charged. Got to destination on about 35% (160 miles) competing that day then drove to accommodation) and then for food putting me down into the 20s. Next day went to Morrisons in morning plugged in clicked...
Don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan. Always a race with the mrs to get the mg5 keys.
With out the kers my reading would be a lot lower. Heading down out the hills to the coast at the end pushes the reading up from sub 3 to 3.5.
3.5 m/kw for me. That’s mainly my 40 mile commute over the Brecon Beacons so pretty pleased with that run down to Cardiff last week averaged just over 4m/kw. Evs really don’t like going up hills.
Local petrol station put prices up to 162 diesel then later that same day 165. No way had it had 2 deliveries in same day. Deffinatly just profit chasing.
I rarely charge at home so that’s just gas and electric price for running house. I had made decision to go variable then Russia attacked Ukraine and I thought maybe I’d lock in the renewal deal octopus had offered but after trying to go on the deal they had added another £1000 on top of the...
My deal ran out yesterday with octopus. Fixed deal was 36p a a kw/h so 8p above the cap. So didn’t go for that. (Approx £3300 a year. About 800 above variable prediction.
So went variable. But how does variable work. Does fee change for time of day or per day or per week?
