If I somehow had enough money to buy an EV then I'd also need to pay over twice as much on my electricity bill. And since my electricity has just gone up 158% in the last financial year, and petrol has gone up 33%. With this new push to go fully EV, I am going to lose my job and go further into the poverty line.,(reply>), @Brian I mean let's look at the information we have available to us an average daily UK household power consumption of between 8.5-10 kWh and then we have the average daily EV power usage of 10kwh. Then you also will need to replace the batteries. <br>Now remember I am in a very hot country with few town close together, the only place EVs will work here is in the city's. <br>So you are telling me it is better to pay basically about her houses electricity bill, then pay about half of the cars value, approximately every 5-6 years. But at least I don't need to buy fuel.,(reply>), @Brian I'm not British. I am Australian, the off-peak tariff is no where near as good as it is there. Free charging is great, it brings in customers gets them comfortable, then you have the rug pulled from underneath you.,(reply>), But if you got an EV, you'd want to switch to an off peak EV tariff, of which there are several. They are priced at around a 5th of the normal daytime rate, which brings the cost per mile of a typical EV charged at home, to around 2p per mile. Plus there is free charging to be had at 400 Tesco branches, and also at some Sainsburys too. Your petrol costs would of course drop to zero.....
