    8.5p per kWh on Octopus Go. 5 hours a night is 35 kw 100-140 mile charge. Even on a bad day that’s only 3p per mile. My partner has never charged her e208 on a public charger in over 3 years. I charge my EV 6 4-6 times a year on public charging. My Fiesta diesel panel van is 12p per mile doing 60 miles per gallon. It would be a lot more if I only filled up at the motorway service station.

      6.9 Pence per kWhr on Eon Next Drive, for 7 hours too. The peek rate is higher than octopus, but as we have solar, it’s not a huge issue for us.

    The Leapmotor car just needs the 3 turning 90 degrees, then it could be called the Tom.

    Why not introduce state of charge remaining warranties on battery packs. They say the usable life in a car is until it gets to 70%, so why not a warranty from new to 85% which would be about the same as today and encourage drivers to take good care of the battery

    How do the Germans get away with 3yr 60,000 mile warranties?

    Next car will probably be a KIA.

      its one thing to boast about a long warranty (e.g. MG 7 years) but it’s another to pay out and honour it for 99% of issues….MG was recently quoted to only pay out on 35% of their warranty claims and the warranty has so many exceptions it’s not worth the paper it’s written on. Agree, Kia / Hyundai is the way to go and will be on my short list in 2025

    The Leapmotor T03 is the direction the car industry needs to go. Most people don’t need big SUV’s!

    I charge mainly at home,0:07 P per kWh. Have saved £1450 over the year compared with my Jaguar XFs diesel.
    EV approximately 2 P per mile

    My wife drives 30 miles per week and having an ice car doing so little millage isn’t great for its engine. She went fully electric with a Mini SE earlier this year and averages 4.2 miles per kilowatt. Switching to an ev tarriff would cost us more for the energy usage during the day vs the tiny charger required per week so we went with British Gas fixed until next year, an impromptu top up would be done at 23p per kW otherwise half price electric on a Sunday with British Gas so 11.5p per kW and costs my wife about 85p per week 😂 that would be £3.78 per week in her old fiesta that did 45mpg.

    Its worth maybe just considering with rising energy costs and falling oil prices putting up a weekly comparison figure e.g. fot an EV to be cheaper to run you have to pay less than X pence per kW this week. I see that petrol here in Glasgow is £1.29 per litre so £5.86 per gallon and assuming 45mpg thats 13p per mile therefore assuming 3.5 miles per kW in an EVs to be as or more efficient you would need to pay less than 43p per kW on the majority of your journeys. So even at the October price cap of 24.5p per kW its much cheaper than petrol. Charging outside of home you need to be aware of the above calculation though.

    Any chance electrifying could do start a weekly fule price checkin using a fixed calculation like the above to give people a single figure to use as a rough gide each week?

    How about Leap of-faith? 8 miles per kWh going to be cheaper than diesel even on a public charger, don’t tell the Telegraph. Leap Frog a great suggestion and better than mine I suspect. Fun video as always.

    I have a Polestar 2 dual motor, which is one of the least efficient cars on the road. I charge exclusively off-peak for 7p per kwh. I do mostly motorway driving. It’s currently costing me 2.4 pence per mile to run.

    I’m an avid ‘Electrifier’ so please keep up the good work (always make time for Ginny 😍). The latest Whatcar least reliable car results came out this week and amongst the worst are MG & Vauxhall EVs. Have you at Electrifying thought of doing your own survey of EV owners and publishing the results? Maybe you can add a reliability rating to your reviews of each manufacturer reviews and used car sales page? Peace and love! 🖖

    I’ve got a good 2017 Kia Soul bought for just over £7000 that manages 4.4 miles per kWh, I charge it at home from solar panels on a decent summer’s day, so for free, or overnight at 6.9p per kWh so 1.6p per mile, or free.

    I watch 3 daily shows, 5 weekly shows, and all of the EV car & e-bike reviews I can source from the US, England, Norway, Germany, New Zealand, and ever South Africa. And only 1 weekly show ever mentions Climate Change which is the reason any of us are experiencing EVs cars and E-bikes. I find it extremely discouraging, as it comes across as journalists attentping to appeal to the broadest range of viewers including Climate Deniers and Climate Delayers.

    It’s like having a dieting and nutrition discussion where you never mention the risks and quality of life problems of obesity, pretending that it’s really a choice to eat poorly or healthily that everyone should consider based on how big an infotainment screen or ADAS system works.

    If EVs and ICE were equivalent choices and this army of journos don’t have a care about our transition off of fossil fuels, you’d be testing and comparing and reviewing ICE cars too. Will you consider how your message to the viewing public could be appreciably more compelling if you’d stop avoiding the word Climate and started messaging about the immediacy of the Climate Crisis, including choosing efficient and low impact EVs?

    OK. Charging. Here we go. On 20 September, I picked up my 1st ever EV. I am leasing a Tesla Model Y. I sold my diesel C-Max and used the funds from that as my down payment. I’m paying £204 per month, 2 years, for a rear drive car. 1 pedal driving? LOVE IT! I’ll never go back to ICE. I have deliberately gone for the worst route possible, to prove the nay-sayers wrong! I don’t get have my Zappi – that comes next year. I’m on a 2kW granny lead or public charging. Here’s my trick. My solar array can comfortably charge my Tesla for FREE! Doing the maths, that works out to 0p per mile. Yes, I need the sun to shine. I haven’t even switched to an overnight tariff yet. I’m deliberately trying to prove that the benefits of an EV exceed any defecits. I LOVE my EV! By the way, the lease is costing me less than the depreciation + the service plan that I was in. The cost of diesel monthly is more than any electricity costs. EVs are just so serene to drive.

    Mix of at home via a granny cable on economy 7 and rapid charging on longer journeys.
    Averaging 26.8 p/kWh and costing 7.8 p/Mile
