Reference EV public Charging costs, when salesperson offers me say £900 of charging and check my postcode even they agree apples 4 apples I may as well drive a 4 litre SUV ref my personal fuel costs, then inconvenience and hassle on top.
Local places to me are about 70 to 80 pence per KWh if I want easy chargers that work well and no waiting around, yes I could get cheaper if I took more effort, think I can pay 85 pence also.
Hybrid 50mpg. Cost £101.39
EV Ave 4kWh/mile Cost £ 107.98
Our London trip - 692 miles - cost £26.40 in Tesla DC charging, £25.19 in AC charging and £3.60 back at home. £55.19 total.
You need to download the Tesla app!
I do have Tesla app, & could have used Tesla Norwich. But gridserve (20% discount) was more handy & had facilities. So was a case of lets keep everyone happy with a coffee & cake while charging, rather than sat in car @ Tesla, then finding a coffee.
Sometimes convivence outweighs cost savings. 😶🌫️Life in the slow lane2
