An unexpected email from Octopus Energy last week....

Your fixed tariff from April 1st:

Electricity tariff (Intelligent Octopus Go 12M Fixed):
Peak unit rate: 27.41 p / kWh
Off-peak unit rate: 3.49 p / kWh
Standing charge: 43.82 p / day

So to fully charge from empty (not that I've ever come close) as I tend to top up from between 40-55% depending on my driving that day, it costs me a grand total of £2.82. + maybe a little for drop off in charge. They even offer the "off peak" rate to my car, any time of the day, if there is a dip in demand. I just leave it plugged in and set the charge level I want by a certain time the next day.

It means my return trip to work in London and back to Surrey costs around 60 pence and the i4 is far from the most efficient EV on the road.

Even at current prices, my 5.5 litre V8 costs less to fuel than your payments. I can live with that.

That's a great rate! How many hours off peak do you get per day? Also, does this tariff interface with your smart charger? Mine's come down too, but definitely not as low as that!

Mine is still £0.00.
I have plugged it in at home for an hour or so on two occasions. No idea how much that cost and not too bothered as I dont plan on making a habit of it.

Well I hope you all have a power cut. 

Only kidding.

I must give the Omega a bit of a run soon before the petrol in the tank starts to go stale.
