Is it now not really viable then if no home charger?

Just checked our octopus tariff its around 36p which if my maths is correct would be around £26 to charge the Tesla... Still not a substantial saving over a 300bhp diesel.

10p per kWh currently on Intelligent Octopus off-peak. The in peak rates would rise to 44p per kWh I believe but with the sums I’ve done were comfortably much better off than we were with using our diesel as the daily driver. Everyone’s circumstances/ journeys and distances you need to cover are different though. We do lots of short journeys so a diesel can’t stretch its legs for example.

Get on to an EV tariff. Even paying slightly more for your day rate it works out a lot cheaper overall. More so if you can load shift onto the cheapo hours.

For eg, I'm on 7.5p off, 39p on with Octopus Go until September. I think the off peak is 12.5p at the moment.

More like it but id probably be using rapid chargers weekly which would put the costs up... Just been looking on the zap map app too for chargers local to where im working and home, seems to be a bit of a st show of stations either not working or damaged etc is this a common theme across the uk?

Shame as i really like the car.

They're the figures i had in my head for the man maths to work out and justify 600 a month on a pcp deal as im currently putting about 80 / 100£ a week in the diesel at the moment...

Not sure i can justify it now..
