Thanks for all your tips. Last point - am I about spending money unnecessary by charging or topping up every night in light of the excessive energy prices at the moment. Is it not more cost effective to do it once or twice a week?I set mine to 50% as it easily covers 150 miles for us. Plug it in and forget about it. It sometimes drops below 30% depending on the trips.
We have easy access to ChargePoint Scotlands excellent chargers. So in a pinch we’ll take it a mile down the road for a fast charge to 80%.
I’m on Intelligent Octopus and pay 7.5p per kilowatt. So it’s super cheap for us. I suppose I could let it drop more and charge longer but it’s typically only 4-6 kW when I use the car. However, that will rise as we head into winter.Thanks for all your tips.

Under pretty normal, reasonable temperature conditions, it doesn't make any difference. You think you are "wasting" or not being cost effective by filling up 2 units three times instead of 6 units once. It's the same thing.Thanks for all your tips.

A lot depends on your circumstances - location, weather, fluctuation in cost per kWh. In static conditions, it doesn't make a difference. I know my cost of energy doesn't fluctuate within the week, so I pay the same $0.08 per KWh off peak on Tuesday as I do on Friday. Temperature would be the biggest fluctuation within the week, potentially, and recharging in warm weather is more efficient than recharging in cold weather.......If you know there's a cold snap coming, it might be more cost efficient to charge it in the more mild conditions (but we're still probably talking about a savings of less than 50 cents in most of the US and Canada).am I about spending money unnecessary by charging or topping up every night in light of the excessive energy prices at the moment.
