I did think that after about encouraging pausing 😂. Defo not 2 times speed which is what I watch somethings on when I just want the highlights 😬. Glad you liked it though
Thanks for another great video. Very relevant and a topic that has been widely ignored in the mainstream media. I have finally ordered my new Model 3 today, after a couple months of watching your channel I am now convinced.
We live in Southern Australia and we have solar. In the summer, the cost to charge an EV is close to zero, particularly on a long cloudless day. Winter not so much, but we have a power bank and charge our battery overnight on the cheaper rate.
Love the vids and really persuaded me to make the eletric plunge! Had my model 3 for a few weeks and have been trying to use the octopus referral link online but am always pointed to phone the company due to the current price hikes. Is there a reference I can use over the phone for your octopus referral?
Another great video and proves what I already know. EV's are cheap to run, if you get on a low FV tariff such as Octopus GO @ 5p/kWh. My Tesla M3 SR+ is running at 1.7p/mile or £204 for 12,000 miles. Even when it goes up to 7.5p kWh it will only be £306 for 12,000 miles! Plus no servicing, road tax or trips to the petrol station...
Great video. Can you let me know who still offers a good EV tariff. Octopus don’t seem to be offering it for new customers in the current climate neither does anyone else as far as I can see.
Sorry. I was taking a break enjoying the summer. If you want to go all out. Tesla offer an energy plan now but you need to buy solar and a battery. if you use enough electricity though it probably is worth it. low users it’s not though
It did, and annoyingly found some errors so had to re-shoot and redo graphics, surprised I managed to get it out this week. I did consider including euro prices. But the spreadsheet became insane 😂
@@TeslaTorque really enjoy your video content and your great presenting skills ! I have had my M3P for 3 months now and have learned so much from your channel
Defo. I actually looked out of curiosity at Supercharger prices the other day and they’ve gone up a lot. Might explain the stopping of the referral programme
Hi there. I live very near to you. Do you fancy meeting up and you can go through a few settings with me as i am struggling a bit? I got my Tesla M3 LR last week ? 👍🏻
Brian Tesla, I am in Scotland and I get just under 5p for 11.30 to 5.30 with Octopus I enjoyed your show, can you please help me I went to Spain Last September and I am going back to Spain next weekend. Is it possible to change your headlights for Spain? Thanks
So annoyed haha, been with Octopus for years but trying to get a smart meter fitted is nigh impossible they are perpetually booked up when trying to switch to Go. Just glad its still cheaper than my old ICE car to run at the moment, even at the current energy prices and charging on a 'normal' tarrif. Octopus said our new April onwards Kwh price would be ~24p up from ~21p, so not too bad but yeah, some people are being slapped with ~40p+ which is just insane!
I couldn't believe the prices on GoCompare for some tariffs, insane that they think they can get away with it. Octopus did say they were trying to keep the prices below the cap, so glad they haven't hit the highs of £0.28 yet. The getting the smart charger is the draw back, but I tried a few, think they are all the same as only seem to be a few third party installers, god knows why!!!
Haha, but like my maths exam I showed my working 🤓. Awesome you locked in the super cheap one. Think that works out 1.25 pence per mile or there about a which is so low!!!!
Which bit? I was worried it might be a bit confusing…but it was a little like comparing apples and oranges, so it was hard to get them on the same thing to compare against 👀
Do you mean the EV tariff in general? Or just your package? Mine has just been refreshed for another year as far as I know. There is also a knew one called Intelligent, which is same rate for 6 hours, but Octopus choose when you charge. I didn’t quite understand it, so stuck with what I had as mine is charged in the 4 hours no probs
@@molepatrol7529 Go (and Go Faster) is a 1 year fixed tariff, so yours might be coming to its natural end, and not related to any price cap changes. It is currently around 30/7.5p now when you renew
I think you should have calculated the EV price based on the 7.5p rate - if you are not on an EV tariff, you must not care how much you are paying. And it's also worth mentioning that your Tesla has what, 250hp and 5.4ish to 60? What mpg does the equivalent fuel car get? 😀
I did at the very end, but went with the initial rate just to highlight the difference if you don’t switch to an EV tariff. Seen lots of comments lately mocking EV drivings because of increased electricity prices, but actually on the right tariff it’s fine
since only looking at fuel. BUT the cost of servicing items like spark plugs, oil oil filters and the environmental cost of making these items is far higher. with a high BMW you could have a £600 road tax , my skoda fabia was £160 while EV's have £0 Road tax at the minute. if you divide your road tax amount BY your yearly mileage. and add that on to the mile cost for fuel you see closer to what a fuel cost is. may be look at this what is your gallon of fuel cost. and how many miles can you do on 1 gallon in your fuel car. now if you buy electricity with that 1 Gallon money, how far can you go in a EV. so Rac say average petrol price uk is £1.65. which is £7.43 a gallon. Now if take the £7.43 the cost of a gallon and buy electricity at 26p you buy 29 Kwh or units. if a Tesla get 4 miles to a unit then 29 x 4 = 116 miles if you do 5 miles to a unit it would be 29 x 5 = 145 miles.
I’m glad it’s not just me that likes working this out 😬. You are right, lots of other ways to save money on EVs rather than just pure running costs, but I was just intrigued to see at what point the pure variable cost of per mileage would become similar. Hope the Cheap EV tariffs keep running
Hi Steve, thanks and good luck with you’re channel. The first 1000 subscribers is the hardest, took I think 5 months for my channel to make it and about 30-40 videos 👍🏻
Let them replace fuel oil with tears. replacing Gas with Brandon's fart. Other industries and factories will crash and not run well! economic turnover declined, and unemployment began to run rampant. Congratulations Brandon and friends. resolution?? Delusions? alternative? dream? let's go brandon LMAO
Loved the video although I did need to pause every so often for my brain to catch up 😂. Appreciate the work gone into the production quality 👍.

I don’t think I’ve ever paused a RUclips video that much in my life. No wonder you haven’t had time to meet up 🙄
Very good 👏🏼
Has it tempted you to get rid of your jag yet at £90 a week? You’re already on Octopus Go 👀

That’s worse than a maths exam! So glad I’ve got a 5p/16p octopus go tariff until December 😁

I am totally confused.

Just had a look at my Octopus Go and it looks like it all comes to its end on the 2nd of April .
