    237Wh for me. Not my worst day in October in 10 years but 2nd worst.

    0.0596 O's

    To celebrate last night I had the Washing machine, Tumble dryer and Dishwasher all going at once. No point waiting for the sun as its now on holiday for the next 2 weeks! :D

    Edited as I meant to say October day.

    Wow 2nd worst in 10 years!

    we are on 🐙Go (sorry I’ve said this a lot on here I know) so every night between 12:30 - 4:30AM we charge solar battery, charge EV, and all three you mention above.  

    We do it staggered and the battery charges at 75% charging power to try and extend the life of the battery somewhat 🤞🏻

    Meant to say 2nd worst October day in 10 years.

    Battery has never been an option for us as we are low users of Electricity.  Since we invested in Solar we have paid for 19113 kWh of which only 3.2k kWh in the last 2 years. Will never buy an Electric car until they start off at a sensible price which in my mind is less than 20K. 

    When the Sun is out we stagger our appliances also.

    There's plenty of EVs, under 2 years old, for under £20k. Let someone pay for the initial heavy depreciation.
