Not really. For further clarification, that's just the fee DNSP (Essential Energy) levies on the retailer per kWh during peak - that's only a network access cost, not the wholesale energy cost. This is the cost of the poles and wires (and yes there is also a fixed daily charge for that was...

Just to clarify, the three-rate TOU tariff still exists and will continue to apply for anyone (like you) who is still on it. If you look at that link I posted earlier, the second page shows the obsolete tariffs still in play. An "obsolete" Essential Energy tariff doesn't mean it no longer...

Yeah - I'm on the solar soaker tariff structure, there's no shoulder tariff. You are still on the now obsolete three rate TOU. It will eventually be retired. https://www.essentialenergy.com.au/-/media/Project/EssentialEnergy/Website/Files/Our-Network/PriceListAndExplanatoryNotes2025-26.pdf...

With the 1 July electricity price rises, I've changed plan back to the Powershop EV Day plan. These are our new rates: Our home battery gets installed tomorrow, so I don't expect to import much energy outside of the free energy period each day. The daily supply fee is pretty ordinary, but...

Forum oddity perhaps. This is what I see:

A low mileage month for me:

Text in your post is all greyed out, hard to read.

Aircon (cooling) is a heat pump, what it's not is a reverse cycle heat pump which is what the euro option will be. Yup. Our aircon is left on permanently, can sometimes need it in winter if the car's been in the sun. Just a matter of whether it's set to 22, 23 or 24 °C.

That's one of the weakest arguments alive. Nitrogen filling for regular cars is both costly and inconvenient for no benefit to ride, handling, performance, wear rates, or vehicle efficiency/economy. Just inflate your tyres for free. Or waste your money. I don't care. Just don't BS people...

There is no evidence nitrogen filled tyres will last any longer than air filled tyres. It's just a waste of money which can instead go towards your next set of tyres.

Keeping tyre pressure even helps keep tyre wear rates even. I don't wait for a tyre pressure warning to inflate a tyre which loses pressure a bit faster than the others.

Over time the air in tyres will naturally increase the proportion of nitrogen.

There is a no difference in temperature induced rise in tyre pressure between air and nitrogen filled tyres in regular passenger vehicles. You've spent $30 to solve a non-existent problem.

Essence 64. No idea about the trailer hook. Mine was after market: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/mg4-in-australia.13438/page-83#post-357455

Mine does not. I need to manually activate tow mode.
