Hi, what sort of milage do you do and have you or are you likely to get solar panels and a battery?Finally done it Just ordered an Orange MG4 Trophy
Dealer has said 7 weeks or maybe sooner just need to sort charger out anybody recommend one
Hoping more become compatible with Octopus Intelligent soon other than just the Ohme Home Pro. I'd rather have the Zappi or Hypervolt. They both have it on their "roadmap" but no timescales given.
Around 10 thousand was thinking of looking into octopus as they have ev night rates use around 330 kwh a month at the minuteHi, what sort of milage do you do and have you or are you likely to get solar panels and a battery?
I had an Ohme but swapped it for a Zappi to make use of excess solar production.

You are similar to me then. I found it is borderline and largely dependent on what we can timeshift to see if the switch is worth it.Around 10 thousand was thinking of looking into octopus as they have ev night rates use around 330 kwh a month at the minute
10000 ÷52 =192 miles a week at 3.5 kwh thats 54 kwh a week so would pay to switch and i will probably do more miles if its cheaperYou will need to top up the car with 27kWh per week to break even. This does not take into account any appliances you may switch to overnight. (see below)

Don't forget to subtract any mileage that you will be doing on long-journeys where you charge away from home at a public charger (I still think it will be worth you being on Go - actually our usage is a lot more than you said, I had my numbers wrong, so it does make sense for you).10000 ÷52 =192 miles a week at 3.5 kwh thats 54 kwh a week so would pay to switch and i will probably do more miles if its cheaper
Yeah we go caravan every weekend from march to November thats a 190 mile round trip usually don't do more than 210 in total on a weekend so was just going to add a few miles with a granny charger from caravan electric to make sure I'm okDon't forget to subtract any mileage that you will be doing on long-journeys where you charge away from home at a public charger (I still think it will be worth you being on Go - actually our usage is a lot more than you said, I had my numbers wrong, so it does make sense for you).

I'm either gonna wire an outside plug straight from the fuse box or get a blue round connector with a plug on and go straight from the electric box that supplies the vanMay I be the first to say EEEEKKK!
Not sure I'd trust caravan wiring to be up to the job, and I'm a renowned risk taker!!
I abstracted 50kWh from a caravan recently. Plug was warm but only had it in while we were in/awake. You can always lower the current if worried.May I be the first to say EEEEKKK!

I pay for it per kwh so it doesn't really matterI guess you did the decent thing and told the caravan site people that you were charging on their power?
