Trumpy is blockading Iran, Brent is back up over $100 per barrel, Petrol 1.56-1.65, Diesel 1.89-1.99

i feel sorry for hacks on a set meter rate, and schools are just going back on prices set 1 or 2 years ago.....




Anyone with a 7kw fast charger and Octopus 8p/kwh rate is feeling very smug


so, what EV do you have?

Im looking at a Skoda Enyaq

not due to nett zero or climate change but im sick of oil companies and garages screwing us over

I can't ever see myself buying a 100% EV.

I might in the years to come look at a plug-in hybrid, but it won't be my next car.

Definitely wouldn't get another Euro6 diesel. Without home-charging (at present) it would need to be PHEV.

I'm not sure LEVC is in great shape for the long-term, which would leave the Ford Maxicab. But I'd prefer to see how well they last.
