I'm facing a new electricity Tariff in 10 weeks I've been trying to work out what type of tariff makes sense.
From June to December we purchased 5500 kwh of electricity, and generated 1900 kwh, giving a total of 7400 kwh available. Charging the M3LR took 1440 kwh, so about 19% of the available power.
One way of looking at it is that in the summer charging the Tesla is "free" using PV generated power, as long as we charge during the late morning/early afternoon.
Does an EV tariff make sense, given that 80% of our consumption is not charging the Tesla?
Oh, and we have a 3kwh storage wall plus a "Sunny Boy" diverter to push owner to the immersion heater when we are not using all the power we generate.
Ideas anyone, Especially Tim and the other "electrical specialists" here? I'm somewhat out of my depth....
All thoughts very welcome...
