I am pathologically stupid when it comes to maths.
A family member is in the process of ordering a new Peugeot E-2008 and they are getting a 7kw wall charger fitted at home.
Because I like cars, they've asked me how to work out what the cost of their daily commute will be, compared to the old diesel car that they have upgraded from... and I haven't got a bloody clue.
Their commute is approximately 20 miles (each way) of suburban/countryside B roads.
Their old car was a Peugeot diesel running at around 50mpg.
They are already with Octopus Energy and will sometimes use the "off-peak" rate and sometimes use the "peak" rate.
1. Weekly cost of the old diesel (assuming five days commute per week).
2. Weekly cost of the new EV when charged during "off-peak" rates (assuming five days commute per week).
3. Weekly cost of the new EV when charged during "peak" rates (assuming five days commute per week).
I think the answer to number one is £31.80, but I have no clue about the others!
