Octopus now have Dragon and another one I forget have joined the massive Electoverse ie Octopus's large and growing network.

 

Pre payment, do not even pay anything at the time of charging, net it off on my monthly household bill.

 

MacMaster you muppet.

 

Oh and I get a discount from 5 to 20% on the cost.

 

 

 

My stepson said yesterday that the insurance on his Tesla Model S is just over £1500 - he has a clean driving licence held for over 20 years and lives in rural Hampshire so it seems a ridiculous amount.

Car insurance companies are trying it on and LV tried to charge me much more ie to go from about £900 fo the Arkana and Zoe to £1200 but by simply remove my lad from the Zoe it went down to £1k for both.  If he needs to go on the Zoe I will put him on for 6 weeks o so and still spread the cost across the year, happy days.

 

Really having insurance where it was not really needed can save much money.  I am on his Clio E-tech but that reduces the premium as companies like that.

 

We have quite a health car insurance market and in 45 yeas of getting insurance on cars and motorcycles never had a problem getting a reasonable quote.  Many electric cars have stella performance and the insurance reflects that.  A bit surprised that we have not seen more black boxes for all ages or certified limited horsepower or power to weight.

 

We have had this for decades in motorcycles in terms of licences, insurance and county laws in some cases ie even Germany limiting to 125 hp which, for a while bike producers followed.  Laws to limit learners, those who have just pass their tests to a certain power limit ie no performance models until certain age or experience  seems wise ?
