    Not sure I’ll be charging the hybrid overnight tonight - it’s probably just cheaper to do the 18 ish miles it gives me on petrol I think.
    Have you got a neighbour with an EV tariff who would give you a top-up?

    Not if it's too strong and they have to shut the wind turbines down.......... There's strong, and too strong.

    If its from the west, especially south west, it will still at least warm up the weather and freshen the air.

    Last week we had cold air coming up from the south which I thought was very odd, but the weather forecasters never explained why that was, unless it was coming across the Alps perhaps?

    We've only got a yellow wind warning. Forecast for eg. Ayrshire (where Ripple's wind farm is) is sustained winds up to 50mph. Turbines should be OK in that.

    Not seeing comments from anybody saying they are ditching Agile for something else (unlike on the Tracker threads where a lot of people are coming to the end of their contract). Are we all just grinning and bearing it?

    Someone suggested to me the other day about looking at Economy 7 as a winter option (we have solar and batteries). Is Agile the same as Tracker in that if you come off the tariff you can't go back on again for 9 months?

    I think you need a plan before hand to leave - not to jump ships when prices are higher for few days - again cheap prices will be coming from Friday for a long time..

    Reasons to leave: better tarrif available elsewhere that you'll happily stay long term or average for 3 months worse than SVR and ditch Agile for good as it's not product for you.
