'EV Drivers Panic Buying Electric @ UK Charging Hubs.' EV Home charging price rise because of Gas Price rises for those that have lost the good deal because of Utility Companies failing

Sorry, click bait.

Not really any panic buying of Electricity,

well not yet a Daily Express or Daily Mail headline.

 

There must be those that had great Low Cost Off peak Charging at home deals that could lose them or already have because of companies going bust.

 

Finding the great deals that were available might not be so easy now or in the near future. 

 

The cost to charge at Public & Charges provided by Commercial Firms might well have to increase while the Government wanted those to be cheaper.

 

A wish and a dream maybe from the UK regulator.

Getting my Pod Charger fitted next Friday.

 

Octopus say their Go tariff is only a Beta product so can change at any time, we will see.

 

Zoe charged up on granny cable and now showing 100% and 241 miles range.  Will try and do a 205 miles to Reading services and back without mid journey charge.

 

Got all my 12v bike, car, scooter batteries to charge up and got a 1000w 12v to 220v ac invertor on hand to keep the lights one.

 

Queue.  Apparently there are only a few thousand place where you can get this liquid that internal combustion engine cars use compared to millions of electricity outlets, off choice of motive power.

So there is a huge increase in people enquiring about buying EV.s.     let's cross fingers that the UK government have a plan about the rising Coal, Gas, Oil and Electric Prices.     Also that they have a total grip or understanding on the National Grid and peak and off peak energy demands of the general public and commerce and industries needs.       Let's hope the electric charging point installers can get their ICE vehicles fueled up ok.  Let's hope more of the Utilities Staff are being provided with EV.s where suitable for their usage.   Obviously the Government have fingers crossed that no nuclear plant has any new cracks developing and any have to shut down again.       They have Iain Duncan Smith championing the idea of small nuclear generation near areas where energy is required.  Rolls Royce could be a saviour.  As would be taking some Nuclear powered submarines into harbours and running an extension cable or 3 ashore to plug into the Grid or charge people like politicians vehicles. 

 

Bl00dy media, me and others on Social Media.  What is the world coming to.   Many a true word is said in jest.
