Comment on Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"?

• money_loo@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I'm looking at my Tesla app right now in the charging section and I average about 15 dollars a month of electricity, at 14c a kw/h.

  So somewhere around 0.50 cents a day in added cost. This landlord is just being fussy and fearful of the "new".

  Like people back in the day thinking light switches could shock you dead for flipping them.

    This is a UK sub, and unfortunately our electricity is not that cheap at the moment. A current quote from Octopus energy:

    Tariff cost breakdown ⚡ ElectricityDaily standing charge 47.95p /day Unit rate 30.3p /kWh

        Yeah, I don’t understand why conservatives are against energy independence.

        🤷‍♂️

    Meh, charge more then. Electricity utilization is typically included with vacation rentals.

  Are you saying it is something between £15 and £50?

  At £50 l, that’s more than my wife’s car is to fill up, and would let it run for 400 miles or so. Are those numbers accurate because that’s wild that electricity costs as much as petrol.

    Recharging a Tesla 3 at home comes to just under £30 by my calculations

      Dang electricity must be expensive AF over there. Where I’m at in the US I pay $0.04/kWh (super off peak) and can fill up 0-100% (75kw) like 3 times for only $11 (£8.61) Image

        It is very expensive here at the moment. Wholesale electricity prices went though the roof last winter, largely due to Western Europe's erliance on Russian gas

      Electricity at home hasn’t been 7p/kwh for decades. 30p is a low estimate.
