If the government don't step in to help poorer households with their fuel bills, it won't be batflue deaths to worry about, it would be hypothermia.

Bear in mind when you buy your electrickery fuelled car that you should never charge it past 80% nor let it drop below 50% if you want the battery to last any...

Brilliant for EV owners :-X

So far its all good for EV's they are either sticking with the 5p offpeak or moving to 7.5p depending on when you signed up etc.

No wonder they are losing money if they are actively advising you to stop using their product🤓
Octopus would like it if I switched everything off and moved out. I must be costing them a fortune.

Not factual that, those figures are more lead acid than any EV battery tech, even the base cells used on the entry level cars

Plus the leading SUV's don't allow 100% charge or discharge (there is effectively battery capacity that is 'not available'), this does not include VAG who are having 'issues'

You may have a point. ::)

Swinging from a rope is probably cheaper. ::)

Seriously though, quite a few people top themselves when they can't find a way out of debt. :-\ :-X

To call them 'issues' somewhat under values them...

Those were the criteria set by MG according to a real world test versus a used Leaf... Might have been a Dispatches programme looking at alternative alternatives.  :-\
