I lost another 3lb today so I'm only 2lb away from my 2st award, and 5lb away from a new stone number
DH and I have been practicing charging my car today. We did a bit in the supermarket whilst getting some shopping and are now trying out the 3 pin cable at home. I'll definitely try and get a home charger installed but will try and get the debt down a bit first. With my normal driving, I won't need to charge very frequently, I just wanted to try in particular the public charging points and see how they work."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Thank you, that's interesting. I'll see how it goes. It's good that I don't have to make the decision quickly and can see how we get on. I'd also like to see the impact on our electric bills. Do you have an ev electricity rate or just normal one?Debsnewbudget said:I have a hybrid car and charge using the 3pin plug most nights

Great news regarding your weight loss xx1

We are on Octopus Agile, and making savings each day, so not worth changing tariff for us. i have just set a schedule to charge up between 12:30 am and 6am when I plug in.
i track our energy use and its not really made that much difference. As a hybrid, If I do majority of my miles on electric then I get 99 miles to gallon so that offsets extra costs.
A neighbour has the cheap overnight tariff and they say that works as they put on all the domestic machines during that period.2
