The 24-30 is just over last month or so. But when the hot tub is on. It's not on all the time but when we were doing that calculations for solar we figured we were at 11,000kwh roughly per year. But we had only had the Y a short time so most likely a bit higher. But I'm. My worried about the car part as no matter what I do (charge from grid or solar or battery) the savings are massive over the diesel cars I had previously.
We use about 19,000kW pa (majority in winter)
If it helps, over the last 12 months with the model Y we used;
4,077kW to do 12,700 miles.
3,564kW was from home charging (87%)
367kW was from supercharging (9%)
147kW was from ‘other’ public charging (4%)
By far the highest price per kW was supercharging.
We managed to put 182kW from Solar in the car in July (~ 750 miles or ~ £150 in petrol at 35mpg). Which covered all the car charging. Which was pretty sweet. And exported 180kW. Turns out that in summer we don’t use the car as much! We used about 20kW per day in the house in July all from Solar. It is more like 75kW in December and Jan (including car charging)
I think you’ll need to get your calculator out to work out what’s best. Certainly for us pre-Solar/ batteries but with the EV it wasn’t worth going on a cheap rate, as the higher house peak rate usage back then far outweighed the smaller EV charging rate usage. But Octopus rates have changed since then, so now IO would have worked out better than a fixed rate for us. With your solar generated you might find things aren’t as clear cut. 19p per kW is still pretty reasonable though, so I’d stick with that while it lasts if it was me.
We’re all at the mercy of fluctuating rates so all the ROI and savings calculations you do etc are pretty hard to quantify in advance. Then they change overnight. For sure the EV savings from a fossil fuel car are huge though. So petrol savings should be taken into consideration against any increased electricity cost.
I’m pretty happy on IO now. Worst case for us will be Dec/Jan if we’re consuming 75kW per day.
Roughly I reckon a winters day will be;
£3.45 @ 7.5p:
10kW charging the car.
36kW charging GE batteries (4% reserve)
free:
4kW from Solar(?)
£8.10 @ 30p
27kW house
So £350 in Dec now, compared to previously when I was paying £800+ at 34p or what would be £715 at current Octopus rate of 30p/Kw
