    Software updates in general

    I've just had my second service and part of it was the "Tesla fix" included in the price. I mentioned to them that there were all sorts of bugs in the infotainment system and the tech checked and I was on R19 so he booked me in for an update. I'm now on R23 and up to now it's far better.

    Intelligent Octopus

    When I switched to GO the clause about EVs didn't exist. As I have solar and a house battery I used, and still do, if needed charge my house battery on the go tariff. Just recently I got an upgrade to the battery which doubled its capacity so for the last two sunny months I managed to shift 90%...

    Intelligent Octopus

    I'm going to stick with GO. I have solar and a battery so I can shift as much as possible to the off peak rate. Most of my import goes into the car at 7'5p / kWh for 4 hrs.

    Is Octopus Go worth it?

    Is Octopus Go worth it?

    At the moment though GO is only available to people who have or have on order, an EV. Some months back they added an extra clause (No 6) to there terms for getting on GO.

    Is Octopus Go worth it?

    As others have said you need to be able to "move" as much of your electricity usage to the off peak time as possible. The real benefits come if you have a home storage battery and solar generation. It's then possible to shift up to 90% of your usage to off peak.

    Real Cost of Motorway Charging

    The government don't have to do anything with the chargers, they will just make EVs pay "road tax". Our first Yaris was free but the second identical car was £147.

    Real Cost of Motorway Charging

    The number of times that you will have to charge at a rapid charger for me will be very infrequent The vast majority will be done at home using off peak tariff and solar so that's 7.5p a kWh or free.

    Real Cost of Motorway Charging

    What do you expect, look at the extortionate cost of petrol and diesel.

    I'd stick with that for now as Go in Lancs is 30p and 7.5p for 4 hrs.

    Gridserve chargers

    If you role up to a charger with two CCS outlets and one is in use, can you use the other or do you have to wait until the other person has stopped charging? I'm, new to this game.
