Since the Government announced a cap to lower the price of electricity to businesses we should see some falls from peak EV charging prices
Please let me know as announcements are made..esp if over 60p per kWh now

Winter's coming-Tesla Michelin Cross Climate 2 tyre review – My Urban Car
First impressions of the swap to all season tyres on a Tesla Model 3 when, after 26,000 miles, the originals needed replacement https://myurbancar.com/2022/09/21/winters-coming-tesla-michelin-cross-climate-2-tyre-review/
A few days ago Tesla dropped UK owners an email about increased charging costs
As a Tesla owner to owners of other brands- yes we now feel your pain with Superchargers now fixed at a national price of 67p, just 2p under Ionity!
exceptions are a few in LDN

Corrected
Handy myth buster from Top Gear to explain how 🇬🇧 grid would’t collapse even all new cars were EVs starting tomorrow
Also..do EV’s need to charge every night..no they don’t..and if they were charger nightly, it will mostly be just a small top up
https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/mythbusting-world-evs-do-you-have-charge-your-electric-car-every-night
It is not a big surprise. At current prices petrol is up 30.5%, diesel is up 39.6% and public electric car charging is up 100.2% since the start of 2021
The government needs to get a grip on how wholesale electricity prices are set. Not subsidy.. just a functional market
Charging survey update
There was blowback in some quarters at suggestions in the press that DC electric car public charging was now more expensive than petrol & diesel
It gives us no pleasure to confirm more networks have passed that measure.. and why
https://myurbancar.com/2022/09/17/easy-fuel-versus-ev-charging-cost-survey/
Why? Zero emissions from EVs can help reduce the 40,000 premature deaths from poor air quality in the U.K. every year. EV owners pay more to buy their cars compared to ICE because they care about air quality. https://twitter.com/stevemoore121/status/1565999105557528577
@fairchargeuk @QuentinWillson @hmtreasury They should pay vat as we do on most things including petrol and diesel
Sadly while this move is welcome, technical issues are likely to delay the introduction of electric WAVs based on smaller models as Brotherwood explain here

Good news as Brotherwood a UK conversation specialist introduces a new Electric WAV or wheelchair accessible vehicle based on the Vauxhall Vivaro-e life

This isn’t an electricity crisis it’s a gas crisis. Putin’s illegal war has spiked global gas prices. We need to decouple electricity prices from gas as soon as possible. And don’t tell me its complicated. Find a way.

MG Motor 4 EV Review (2022) | Autocar
This car is more than competitive (with a VW ID.3), more sophisticated than anything MG Motor has offered to date, decently enjoyable to drive, very well-equipped, civilised and priced to make you look twice https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mg-motor/4-ev
If you’re looking for an EV under £36k the brand new MG4 should be on your shortlist
A modern capable EV with good range and decent charging speed especially on the £28k long range version.. brilliant value for an EV in 2022
Does @MGmotor have another cut-price hit on its hands? ⚡️ Read our review of the all-new MG4 EV to find out 👉http://drivelec.uk/3pTZ4Ql
@ECIU_UK @jessralston2 @BBCNewsnight Completely agree..the way wholesale prices ⚡️ are set (currently pegging prices paid to all generators based on the soaring gas price) is lunacy as we explain here. Why is this not being dealt with urgently. It will cost consumers billions this winter

96% of Arrival “orders” were for its electric delivery vans so it always seemed odd not to start building & delivering the vans first before developing Buses and an Uber Car
Now Arrival have cottoned on to the obvious, pausing Uber & Bus projects👍 https://electrek.co/2022/08/05/arrival-arvl-to-reportedly-shelve-bus-and-uber-car-to-cut-costs-and-prioritize-van-deliveries/
