To answer your questions. As far as the insurance company are concerned, it's a fault claim as there is not another insurance party to claim from. As far as the hire car is concerned, check your policy wording. Some policy's include a like for like hire car, whilst others include anyone car...

This. Exactly what I've done, except I've paid 19 quid for the no excess policy. Includes home start as well just incase battery died. No point in paying anymore really

There are loads of tesla's in Milton Keynes. This is going to be a bloody nightmare.

Just had my renewal from Churchill on a 2021 plate tesla LR and it's gone from £430 last year to £936 this year. Nothing's changed and not claimed anything this year. That's over 100% increase for nothing. Cheapest comparison site is £1400. What's going on, got 1 more year left on the lease then...

And a really good way to fudge the system and take advantage. Not great really. Hope you get found out to be fair

Most business lease prices will be ex vat, but it should say somewhere on the quote

With solar and battery, on io, my average rate is approx 8.5 pence pkw at the moment. No other tariff gets close. We also use 85 percent of solar generated, so hardly export either

Are a lot of you charging on 3 pin plugs? I've been on Intelligent for about 8 months now, and never really had a problem with the car not hitting it's charge goal. I have had issues around Octopus recognising the car was plugged in, but this was after an update, and was sorted out within a week...

Nothings changed with the car, and I can still see it on the Tesla app. If I try to reconnect without removing the car then readding, I get a message that Octopus can't find the car in my Tesla app. It's all very weird

I've been having issues now for a couple of weeks with IO reconising the car and charging. If I disconnect the car, then reconnect, it seems to work for a day or two, then tells me it can't connect to the car and asks to renew the connection. The last communication I had from Octopus was to...

I was having this issue, but mine got fixed by disconnecting the car, then going through the reconnection process. It's now showing a schedule for the first time in a week

I'm having exactly the same issue at the moment. An email from Octopus asking me to reconnect the car, then I get the same message, connection successful but no vehicles available. Have emailed Octopus and waiting for a response from them. I've reverted to non smart charging in the mean time

A heat pump in winter will massively increase your kwh consumption. I'd do some research in how much before sizing a battery as I have no experience with those

The way to work out your battery needs in the winter if the aim is to be off peak , is generally about 80% of house usage needed in battery power. In the summer, I'm hoping I won't need to top the battery up overnight, and we can be off grid with the house power (Car will still need off peak...

The house uses between 10 and 15 kw a day of normal use, cooking, washing machine, computers etc etc. The battery holds 13kw, not sure what the actual usage of that is. Charge both the car and the battery overnight on Octopus Intelligent (2330 - 0530) By 0530, both the car and the battery are...
