3000 Miles for £48.75

[Persuader]

Yes that's what my fuel cost has been for 3000 miles.
I know some posts say that us Porsche owners don't/shouldn't care about running costs, well I do and I find the low cost of "fueling" my car
extremely satisfying.
I am on the Octopus Go Tariff and only normally charge between 00.30 and 04.30 when the rate is only 5pKW. My consumption has averaged 32.5KW/100MILES. 32.5x30x0.05p=£47.50. To fuel a petrol Porsche would have cost £550-£600 for the same 3000 miles.
To say I am delighted is an understatement. Referral link below if you want to check out Octopus Go.

You might want to add at least 10% though, because BC consumption does not include charging losses. Still excellent!

I read somewhere that that octopus did a crowd funding deal where you invested £2000 with them to build a wind farm and then you got electricity cheap from them. I kind of like that idea rather than fitting solar panels etc. I’m waiting for the next round of funding and going to buy into that. My electric bill is mega every quarter with hot tub, 2 car charging etc. Mounts up quickly at my current 20p per kw charge.

20p per KW - My god that's expensive. A typical decent regular tariff in the UK is circular 13p per KW.
I don't think you'd get any cheaper than the Octopus Go Tariff - no investment, wind farm or solar panels needed. It's just a tariff: 5p 00.30-04.30 & 13.31p all other times.

Yeah, I need to look at this again. As a matter of urgency!

I thought the day time was a lot higher as we have a lot of elec going on during the day will look at this. Cheers

 

[TAYC4N]

Nice! I pay 12p per KW anytime of the day.

 

[Gogs]

Just checked I’m with E.on. 13p per kw. Not 20p as thought.

 

[PanameraFrank]

@Persuader Yup. I'm still under $50 for my 3,000 miles of range.

I was with Scottish power at 13p /kw
Chsnged electric to octopus a few months ago 14p their std tarring St the time
With the intention to change to either Their “go” or “agility” tariffs
- I have solar panels and some house battery’s storage so planned to charge these along with the taycan at the low night rate
BUT
I don’t have a smart meter so am stuck in the standard tariff until they install one —- and the can not advise when that will be -due to covid delays

but even do 390 miles to London and back Friday including a bit ofperformance testing “ with A 992 on the M1 on the way back still gave me .3 kw/m
And I’m still driving are my normal speeds - range mode tried to limit me to 50 mph ax I arrived home with battery at 8%
But I chsnged to normal mode

Charged partially at IONITY Milton Keynes on way down but only achieved 100 kw max and then stopped in at Silverstone Porsche dealer on way back but they only have a 50 kw charger

I was looking to test at a 350Porsche charger to see if they cut out as per my earlier Porsche experience charging issue

I have the Optopus Agile tariff which tracks the wholesale rates. The lower the demand the lower the rate. On some weekends during lockdown the rate hit MINUS 10p /kW so you actually got paid for using electricity. The rate often doesn't go as low as the Agile GO rate but will sit about 6-7p overnight for more than 4 hours and during the afternoon so gives you a bit more time to get charged up.

i looked at this and some of the day rates are very high. Do you have solar or batteries ?

Neither, just a regular supply. 16:30 to 19:00 is always over 20p as they add 12p during those hours. But the rest of the day is much lower and in single figures in the afternoon and all night. There's an octopuswatch app that shows the hourly rate and your saving against the variable. I've only been over the variable (+3%) on one day in six months. It's generally 30% cheaper on average but I have noticed the savings are lower in recent weeks as we get closer to winter.

I’m on a three phase supply at home. I tried to get the Octopus go tariff this week and was told I have to have a smart meter fitted first. Fine , except that no one is fitting smart meters to domestic three phase supplies yet. So I’m unable to access the octopus go tariff. Has anyone managed this ?

 

[Fish Fingers]

Just switched to Octopus and got the smart meters fitted last week, now ready to switch onto Go tariff just in time for Taycan pickup on Monday.
