Hi all, I collected my new PHEV Exclusive on Monday. Very pleased.
We are investigating charge points - are there any recommended ones for the MG? Are they worth it? Do owners just stick with the 3 pin plug cable?
I attempted to work out how much I could save by moving to a better tariff, and using intelligent charging - like EDF Go, assuming 6k of electric mileage, out of 8-9k per annum. I reckoned about £300 p.a saving. So it would take 2 years just to pay for the install of a chargepoint. Is it worth it?
Re cost of chargepoint - I am being quoted £550 to £750 dependent on model, but including the £350 grant. £1,000 does seem a lot for the box and installation. It feels as though the installer is getting paid for his time/skill/labour, then getting the £350 back as well. Am I missing something?
Finally, what energy tariffs are peiople on. After working out I can save £300 odd by moving to EDF Go for electric, I then find that I will lose £200 to £250 on my current duel fuel gas tariff with any new Gas only deal. Has anyone found a competative duel fuel deal with a compatative overnight electricity rate?
Thanks!
