Cost savings between petrol/diesel/electric

[NickHeynes]

Say you ditch the ZS because electricity is too dear, how do you feel about domestic use?

Install a domestic battery to cover your daily use and switch to Octopus Go, pay 7 times less. And buy the ZS, and charge it at the cheap off peak rate.

If Octopus goes bust the only way to protect your investment is to have solar panels installed as well to make use of the batteries.

Alternatively if you don't want/cannot install a battery do what others suggested already and switch to Octopus Go anyway, 7.5p/kwh for the EV.

Yes but it's only that if I exclusively charge at home which I won't. I will be able to charge at work and locally .

Or you could buy the ICE ZS and have £12,000 to buy fuel for it and service it.

Excellent idea. Need to make the switch from bulb. With my EV coming next month hopefully. Is it definitely a 12 month fixed contract? Seems very good considering the price cap in October coming up

Definitely a 12 month fix!

Or you could just live in Scotland and use the governments Charge place Scotland chargers, loads of them all over the place and the majority are free. Had an EV for nearly a year and spent £0 on charging, have a home charger but never had to use it....

It would have to be a much sweeter deal than that for me...
