I must admit to following several of the discussions on here and having been amused at the hidden stealth costs of doing it right.
So it is best to have an Electric car going forwards (assumes additional taxes on petrol etc)
It is best to home charge to avoid the quite interesting increased rates of the public systems and possibly their availability
If you are charging from home the ability to collect this from solar/wind etc would be a good choice.
So I have had to spend £15-20k on the additional cost of a NEW car over it's pure ICE equivalent.
I have had to install solar/wind engineering in my home (£12k?) to provide this charging
In theory I would also benefit from having the home battery installation if I do any mileage so the solar can be loading the home battery for when the car battery comes home needing charge.
I am not saying this to provoke or annoy but just to see where it stops really. I guess it is all in direct proportion to the electric mileage you need to do as well, in town only needs less of all of them.
It feels a little like a bit more time phasing this in would benefit things. Also greater support for home arrays/turbines would be smart. Never mind. I am making the dumb assumption of a co-ordinated policy program?
