I keep saying I need to sit and work out what we use and when, I only charge normally about once a week, so octopus would save us about £6 on that, but I think their quote on last 12 months was about 300 quid a year dearer, so not sure it's worth swapping, previous occupants had a prepay meter installed and I think I'd have to have it replaced to direct debit/bill.Yeah it's slightly higher in the day but cheaper at night.
A seven hour walk home and another seven back is a big sacrifice to save £27Yeah if you continually look out for them on your travels you see them popping up.
Hotels are the next place that needs more money and slow 7kw chargers installing.
With the price of public chargers being 60p-£1 nowadays I have found a local 7kw charger that is only 30p, so I park it there and make the short walk home for 7 hours then go back and collect it. Rather that which costs me about £18 than get charged £45 per charge at the fast ones.
That's just the annoyance of not being able to have a charger at home.
Definitely not worth it for once a week charging.I keep saying I need to sit and work out what we use and when, I only charge normally about once a week, so octopus would save us about £6 on that, but I think their quote on last 12 months was about 300 quid a year dearer, so not sure it's worth swapping, previous occupants had a prepay meter installed and I think I'd have to have it replaced to direct debit/bill.
It's 15 mins walk. It's on charge for 7 hours!A seven hour walk home and another seven back is a big sacrifice to save £27
Can't get my head round this idea that something is under warranty but you still have to pay.Car was booked in to the Nissan dealership I bought my car from as the horn went off for no reason the other week, continuously as if someone was slumped over the steering wheel. I was I'm the house so nobody wad near it.
They phoned to confirm this afternoon and though it's under warranty, there's a diagnostics fee of £110 to pay!
I think it's the relay so will buy one off Ebay for £12 and change it myself
Was chatting to the service tech at the main dealer off the record about this the other day. He was saying this is the main gripe customer’s have. Main Dealer warranties appear robust supposedly providing security to the prospective purchaser, but they are employing some quite underhand tactics to pass some of the repair costs back to the customer.Can't get my head round this idea that something is under warranty but you still have to pay.
I repeatedly decide to extend how long I want to keep hold of my current car for reasons loosely related to this tbh (as well as not understanding all the electric car chat!)Was chatting to the service tech at the main dealer off the record about this the other day.

The devil is in the small print and they are very keen to tell you what is covered, but not what isn’t, nor the costs YOU incur while they are diagnosing whatever it is that has failed and whether that in itself is even covered in the first place! It’s tantamount to mis-selling and when it happened to me I was fucking livid. Who wouldn’t be?
The manufacturer eventually offered a discount as a gesture of goodwill but it’s something as customers we really need to wake up to.
I remain convinced that bmw has always been, and remains the choice of vehicle for utter pricks.
