[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7834524, member: 55822"] I renewed in April I think at 15 up from 11p At the moment the farm is out of contract with eon and not paying anywhere close to 30p 15-20 on and off peak last I checked a few weeks ago. So night charging at 15p is still possible. Solar which has a payback time that’s reduced by increased consumption, the greater the self consumption especaly at rates close to 30p is also a good way to avoid paying 30p for electric, combine that with a home battery and if you watch EVM’s videos he will explain it better than me, why solar is a no brainier for EV car users. And avoid high peak time charges. the merc is hauling a 108kwh battery but only manages 400 ish miles as WLTP estimates are very over generous. It’s will be more like 300 plus maybe 350 down hill. The Merc efficiency is very poor it’s 250watts per mile at best while others can do 200 watts per mile and better. A lot do just over 5 miles per kwh, in real world driving conditions. And with its standard charging at only 110kwh in the merc which is far slower than the 350kw now starting to be installed in the fastest charge stations. It makes the model S look cheap, while the model S is a massive car by uk standards and not very car park friendly, and also it’s not a good comparison to your merc. In anything but price, as it beats it in nearly every category if you like Mercs, then like you I would not buy the EV one at 100k list, I would wait for the second generation or try other brands. By 2025 ish EV cars will be offering a far bigger range of choice. there is a reason Tesla now has a valuation greater than every other car company in the world combined it’s because technology wise they are innovating so fast the others look to be standing still, that and they have a close loop supply chain where possible including the recycling of battery packs.
