Just had my first bill through since the big price changes on Electricity. It’s starting to get really expensive to drive an EV if you can’t or choose not to get an EV tariff….
I can’t have Go or IO because my house is outside the signal for the smart meters (I’m on my 3rd set in a year and they still can’t find them) and am stuck on the variable now. It’s really frustrating because I moved to Octopus specifically for Go but I can’t have it. I should, in hindsight, done something else when the decent fixes were still available.
My first 12 months were laughably great. Worked out I spent about £40 charging my M3. Just doing some basic numbers, but now I’m not a huge amount away from a decent diesel now.
Just used my wife’s BMW X3 to go from Cheshire to Surrey and back, it’s done it in just over 1/2 tank so about £50ish.
If the price guarantee cap goes in the spring and prices go to what’s expected then adding another 1/3 to the unit price then I personally will be at parity I reckon.
It’s a shame how it’s gone (I actually don’t really like the M3, I find it annoying) but if it wasn’t for the Capital Allowance write off then I’d go from 50/50 keeping it to definitely going back.
Just interested in peoples thoughts.
