Indeed but only for those with home chargers and the right tariff.

Those public charger costs you mentioned would have evened thing up and possibly even swung the answer the other way.

Is it a tariff when they pay you?

So many ways both with home and public charges to get the headline costs to half, third, quarter or less, something one cannot do with fossil fuels.

Not rocket science, just a little planning with great financial rewards. More money to spend on other things.

Ah... Only a BSc... That explains it (as you might have said) 🤣

So they got 4 times the range and they 'might' be able to get the charge costs down to a quarter meaning it would be even Stevens... Anything less and the EV would be more expensive.

They should do it again starting at a Gridserve or Applegreen charger

I charge on a Gridserve charger on Thursday. Think it was about 87p per kwh. Had done 200 miles from Worcester to Dartmoor and was just getting a part charge to get me back to Worcester.

Yes expensive compared to other chargers but very good site, good cgarging speed of about 100 KW, went from 25% to 90% in half an hour, M&S on site, still waiting to see the bill, Gridserve took a tenner deposit and still waiting 4 days later for the actual amount to appear which should be a £35.

I have been ripping up petrol receipts over 5 years old and rarely are they for less than £50 and that is for Fabias and Octavias and they have quite small tanks.

Running EVs is saving me and the family hundreds of pounds a montn I reckon.

I doubt that for the Video that the ICE Citroen was ever run to empty or the tank drained then £5 worth of petrol added, but hey hoe it is show business and there is no business like show business and vloggers / Image creation.

Not so breaking news. Someone who can charge a BEV @ 6.5 pence a kWh can go the same distance as someone paying 65 pence a kWh and for a 10th of the cost. Just have access to a property with a charger and cheap tariff electricity and you are onto a sure fire winner as far as the economics.

An ice car running out of fuel can do damage to the fuel system with pump cavitation etc.

Expect they did the ice car from fuel light coming on, put in the £5 of fuel and then recorded when fuel light came on. 40 miles was quite good but that was but that was sweltering with no aircon as I struggle to think of any ICE car with a heat pump. Even my £20k Renault 5 has a heat pump and running with aircon hardly affects the range it seems to me.

Still to test my 40 / 43 kwh R5 past 0% SoC to compare to Bjorn Nyland getting 46 kms in the 52 / 55 kwh R5.
