Octopus arranged for the fitment of my Level 2 smart meter straight away when I joined which was about 2 months ago. Their standing charge is circular 25p per day which is pretty standard.
Yes I plug in on a timer most nights for the 4 hours. If you have used more than 28kw then just set it to keep charging after 04.30 which will be at the normal rate of 13 odd pence.
Yes roughly £1.40 for 85 miles.
New customer credit of £100 just been announced.
Octopus Go is 5pKW 00.30 - 04.30.
4000 miles has cost me £63 in electricity cost.

In the UK the predicted residual value of the Performance Battery Plus version is higher by pretty much the cost of the bigger battery so a no brainer to get the bigger battery.
I do get where you're coming from though but Porsche UK website does show small performance increases in most...
0-60 is the same due to extra weight of bigger battery.
Slight performance difference will be more apparent 0-100, 0-125, 30-70, 50-70 etc.

My first 4000 miles has cost me £62.40 here in the UK. Charging only between 00.30 & 04.30 on the Octopus Go Tariff at 5p per KW.

No. The new ones were smaller and would just go straight through the hole when the old ones were removed. They tried a set from another box to check it wasn't a mislabelled box.
I ordered these. Part no 9Y0 044 911. Same part number as yours and same part number listed in Porsche Tequipment online for the Taycan. But they would not fit as they were to small. The Porsche dealer said that they must have listed incorrect part number and would raise a ticket.
But yours...
