Hadn't seen anything about them until now, looks an attractive offering with another 2 x 2 hour slots at 13p on top of the 6 hours at 5p. I wonder how long they will survive at those prices?

I assume by 'proper' you mean 7.4kW as opposed to 2.3kW granny? Is there any evidence that a granny used correctly is any less safe? I'm on standard Go with the granny, so I can spend around £1k for a compatible Ohme or Zappi to reduce my cheap rate from 8.5p to 7p, that's an awful lot of kWh to...

Hmm but being on Go with the granny, I get 5 hours at 8.5p as opposed to 6 hours at 7p but there's an awful lot of 1.5ps in £1k before I benefit.

I've been using the one supplied with the car for over year now. No issues with using it from the ring main, no socket scorching or excessive warmth even after a 10-100% charge. Now I'm on an overnight tariff I do a 5 hour charge overnight as and when I need it, plus a few hours to soak up any...

Being retired I'm coping quite well with the granny, using my solar excess in the summer and Go in the winter. £1k buys a lot of kWh at the 1.5p difference from Go to IO Go but when the next ICE car gets replaced with an EV the extra convenience may swing it towards a replacement.

My smart meter 'knows' and shows realtime export figures on the IHD, I'd like to see the cumulative data just to get an idea of the potential £s involved. I'd hoped the recent Octopus Home mini delivery might make this available but currently it's not working at all. I believe I need to be on IO...

Interesting, that makes adding a battery more enticing. Does that necessitate a change of meter, mine only registers generation and consumption by the inverter I think? I was hoping that the Octopus home mini would show me what I actually export, but so far it has failed to work for me.

I test drove an MG4 on a whim, to see what all the fuss was about (after watching many Bjorn Nyland videos). I was stunned by the driving experience and had my own a week later. Almost 15 months on, I'm amazed by the economy, relish the driving experience and hate being on busy streets on foot...

I don't either, my latest oil-club offer is £0.5635 ppl + vat due to Brent crude remaining below $80 a barrel. We've not used much so I'm still 100 litres shy of the minimum delivery of 500 litres so it will be a few weeks before my next order.

I did consider the idea but decided it was a step too far (along with and IBC to harvest more rainwater), I'll just wait a few more days until its dull again!

Been caught by this a couple of times last winter. Usually happens when I've parked with the wiper still on intermittent, got in the next day when it was still raining and as my bum hits the seat the wiper do a single wipe and dump the water over my legs as I close the door,

I'm waiting for the harvest to finish around here before I get the polish out one short overnight shower a few nights ago glued a nice layer of Fenland dust over my just cleaned car plus in this weather I can't get round the car quick enough to mop up all the hard water spots.

I'm fortunate enough to be on the 'middle' rate for generation, so currently I get 23/kWh so sticking with it is a no brainer.

I'm on FiT so I get paid even if nothing is exported. Not been a bad day, I've generated 20kWh (£4.60 earned), purchased 7 (£1.70), put 8.5 in the car, done 1x dishwasher, 2x washing and cooked Sunday lunch.

Recently switched to Go after a year of having the car with the standard tariff, so a change of mindset needed. I've gone from any solar excess reduces the overall cost to the excess needs to be above around 1.7kW to be cheaper than Go, although like today I'm still sending to the grid whilst...

No I currently just use the granny, I could use the AC limit anyway, which I did in the winter, in the summer I try to use all my excess into the car.

I've had my Trophy for 14 months now, I fell into the 'more toys' trap and was fixating on one longer journey I knew I would make soon after purchase. For my driving profile (8k miles, retired, day trips mostly < 100 miles) the SE would have been fine, I mostly home charge, have seen the odd...

Forgot about that, been a while since I tried mine.

V2L?

Well July just about redeemed itself, the last few days sunshine have pushed the the generation amount for the quarter over the miserable total for 2016 although its still 20% less than 2018.
