Sobering thought that. I thought EVs were pollution free & the electricity magically made itself. Someone somewhere is making a shedload of cash. The cap I understood from the Beeb is based purely on gas prices i.e. it assumes the cost / kWh of electricity made from a generation plant run on gas. Why oh why then aren't we seeing a discount if like me you buy supposedly 100% renewable power implying no gas is used? I thought renewables are well over a third of our power generation & their generation costs should be static / not rising as fast as gas.
Also the power companies are paying peanuts now for PV solar on the FIT tarrif. I get £0.0741 per kWh and they sell it at £0.52. Whichever person the new PM is I hope they get a grip on this rip off.
