@TheSolarShed @peterrhague @Eddystone506 I was staying at a campsite this week #corfecastle
Closest public charger was a National Trust car park about 1km away. Why the campsite didn’t have a charger and make 40p a kWh I do not know! I would have put at least 60kWh in my car. They had huge barns that could take solar!

@energystatsuk Don’t you have to have agile export if you have agile import?

@JujuliaGrace You need a business that is set up as a charity to out compete all the private healthcare companies.

#Musso EV | KGM Motors

£43k inc VAT is not far off the starting price of a Toyota Hilux. This will ruffle a few feathers 🛻 ⚡️

#Maxus eTerron9 huge discounts incoming!

@graeme_cobb @modernheroestv will be interesting to see the lease deals available

@GinnyBuckley @bppulseuk It’s the only DC charger in all of Malvern too!
The AC chargers at Aldi opposite always seem to work, no good if you are in a rush!

There are quite a few places you could install DC Chargers around the town.

@InstaVoltUK how about some at the Malvern McDonalds?

@RupertMyers It is the size and cost of TV’s that is pushing cinemas towards obsolescence. £350 for a 65inch TV. For most you now get a better experience at home for less money.

@energystatsuk @OctopusEnergy @SavingSessions @ofgem @neso_energy I am not opting in!

If they are paying a Gas peaker £2 per kW again, then 12p is too low.

Show me the money 💰

12p is no incentive to switch batteries to export either. They have got to at least pitch it half way, £1 per KW is really a minimum.

[Valentino Gozi @ValGozi]

@graeme_cobb I can’t see if it is battery owned or leased. Must be leased for that price.

@OctopusEnergy I am on Octopus Intelligent EV tariff. Plugged in to see if you’d charge between 1-2pm so I make the most of today’s free hour. It doesn’t add the free hour to the schedule, why not? I have a @myenergiuk Zappi @g__just

[Valentino Gozi @ValGozi]

@Th3Oasis @takeitev It isn’t just me that has a problem getting a @myenergiuk Zappi charging outside of Octopus intelligent hours then?! I tried to bump charge my MG5 the other day, it took me about 10mins and pressing every button to get it working. Bump Charge didn’t work in the @OctopusEnergy app

[Valentino Gozi @ValGozi]

@evbox I am trying to charge my car at a campsite I am staying at in France. The campsite reception don’t know how it works so have said to try as many cards as possible 🤣🤣
I have tried @OctopusElectro card, Mastercard and Visa. Is there an app I need or is it just broken?

[Valentino Gozi @ValGozi]

@RobertOsfield @MGmotor @tesla_uk @FullyChargedShw @ElectrifyingCom @KateFantom @EpicWinningMaz Facelift (MkII) There is a dealer installed software update that will likely be required. Free if done when serviced but might be a charge if done outside of service.

@rantylars @KateFantom @BMW @Tesla Unit cost of electric to a business is back down to 20.63p kWh, they are probably make 15-20p a unit on electricity.
A Tesla charger costs approx £25k (grants to help with grid install costs)
If 20p per kWh 125,000 kWh to break even on each charger, 2500 charges of a 50kWh EV.

[Valentino Gozi @ValGozi]

@rantylars @KateFantom @BMW @Tesla I think Tesla make a profit. The cost to install the chargers is so much higher compared to what it costs Tesla. They are probably paying 3 to 4 times more for the hardware. If you don’t manufacture the charger there is a premium you need to claw back with higher rates.

[Valentino Gozi @ValGozi]

@Carpervert @KateFantom @BMW @Tesla 350kW charger hardware
Tesla - £25k
Gridserve/BP/Shell - £100k
£75k / £0.30p a unit = 250,000 kWh which is almost 4000 charges of a 64kWh battery. Tesla has big cost advantage with producing their own hardware.

[Valentino Gozi @ValGozi]

@Carpervert @KateFantom @BMW @Tesla I’m not sure they are being greedy. The cost to install the chargers is so much higher compared to what it costs Tesla. They are probably paying 3 to 4 times more for the hardware. If you don’t manufacture the charger there is a premium you need to claw back with higher rates.

@henry_the_hippo @KateFantom @BMW @Tesla The software update came out a few weeks after our last service. Will have to wait 6 months until the next one to get it done 👎
