Absolutely especially with the influx of the many Chinese brands lowering the costs across the board we have been following it closely and the many Chinese brands review on YouTube, but depreciation is still like a rock in water hence the (money saving lean of the forum) idea of buying a two year old EV is probably a smart move for many looking to dip a toe in the water. If that's not too foolish for some that like to name call anyone that considers buying second hand.
This month of course would be a good month so far as an EV owner on Agile I think our average for April is 4p kWh but unlikely to stay that low. So still interested on what Agile users average say for the last year for their EV as to whether or not is was worth sticking with it when we make the jump as Agile works very well for our heat pump usage.

Thanks for pointing out the typo.

That's the literal opposite of what @Netexporter wrote.

You can see why Octopus reduced their solar rate from 12 to 10p, got more of it than they know what to do with. The more solar that gets installed, likely further drops in the pricing.

Mine reduced from 15p to 12p. Has there been a further reduction? I haven't been informed, if so.

Neither have I.
And TBH I'm sure the relatively high price is all part of a strategy to encourage solar adoption. I fully expect to get to the point where all solar export is paid for on Agile/other supplier equivalent to encourage us to self-consume when there is excess capacity in the grid.

My future strategy, from March to November, is a mix of maximum self consumption with forced export of any surplus at peak times.

Apparently the key to self-consumption is to build a swimming pool…
