Smart Meters and Free Electricity, am I missing something?

[theaxe]

Since getting a 'Smart' meter British Gas are offering me a tariff with free electricity on either Saturdays or Sundays. At the moment I charge my Tesla just over once a week at a cost of about £40 a month. If I'm careful I should be able to get that close to zero with this new tariff.

Am I missing anything?

Ah, that makes sense. I'll check the small-print...

I think that if I charge the car and do the laundry (usually done on Saturday anyway) then it makes sense. Using the immersion heater and electric fan heaters once a week is probably just milking it.

You would have to ask yourself if you want your life to be scheduled around an energy tariff - might get a bit old after a while.

A very good point..
