Octopus have over the last 6 months reduced my export to 12p per kWh vs 15. Doubled of peak import to 8p.
Now they are limiting low cost charging to 6hrs. In general 6hrs is more than I need but it is another hidden catch.

I suspect they are as per Prof Porter's 5 forces model screwing us based on market dominance.

With all the utility rates I found it hard to compare suppliers.
Who would you recommend to compare suppliers or as a supplier if you hace pv solar and an ev?

Actually you EV lads get a better deal than us ICE plebs

my cheapest import is 14.6p, rising to 24.4 and 34.2p at peak

export is just 4.2p or 9.7p = rubbish, or 27.2p if you can dump at peak (but that's when we need it)
