It would be interesting to see a breakdown of private to business sales. Looking at that table there's going to be in the region of 200,000 EVs dropping into the used car market year on year if the new sales figures are top heavy with company cars. Those used sales don't count towards the governments 22% target this year and 28% next year. Unless private buyers, who typically buy these ex-company or lease vehicles, can be persuaded where are these cars going to find buyers ?

I'm not anti EV, I really do believe they have a place, but without a ready market how will new buyers be found these vehicles. This is a now issue for EVs from 2021. Dealers will not hold stock that will not sell, they can't afford to. It'll be interesting to see how that is addressed. If you make them cheap enough people will switch but that is going to sting those that bought new.

Of course you don't, Humph. Hence the endless posting about the subject.

Er, the others who post, seem to care...seems odd that someone who doesn't care, posts so much, is all.

A UK household supply is fused at 80A or 100A, depending on the local network operator. It’s 100A in my area. Voltage varies a bit too but should be at least 220V. Multiply those together and you get 22kW. Sustain that over 24h and your total draw is 528 kWh. On my E.On tariff that would cost about £123.

BPG can explain how theoretical or otherwise that limit is.

When I moved from British Gas to Eon, Eon warned me that there'd be a slight discrepancy in the handover reading - that I'd pay a bit more to the old supplier and the same amount less to Eon. But it was 10 kWh, so really no big deal. But even smart meter reading seems to be full of inaccuracies: the engineer who installed mine misread the old meter, which would have cost me 1000 kWh if I hadn't sent in a hasty correction.

I am asking because British Gas has tried to claim the initial meter reading for electric was more than 600kWh lower than it was. At first no problem. Then later they claimed it was such an eon correct. Then eon fixed it for me after many weeks and many calls. All fine until today when again it seems BG has made them change it somehow.

My argument all along is if it was the correct figure on the date we moved in, how did we use over 600kWh in a few days before eon took over. I don't even have an EV to charge and if I let someone charge their car it would be over a 13amp cable.

I am not confident this does not all get redone and they take the £190+ from the account again for this electric.

We've done well in reducing electric having moved here. Dishwasher does not have a short ECO mode so uses more. Everything else therefore the same as we had apart from some lights I guess. We used to use around 4400kWh a year but here it's been nearer 2600kWh for the year. So that 600kWh addition is a big addition.

Previous owners though left an electric patio heater in the garage.... Now that cannot have been cheap to use. It went to the recycling centre.

When I check tariffs to switch the assumption for this house is we use over 4400kWh per year. This is not just eon. I think the assumption is based on number of bedrooms for starters.

When I did switch the eon account to here it took a while to argue for a fair monthly payment for what we were likely to use. The computer said it should be much higher. As it turns out we've accumulated even more on the account so the payments recently dropped a fair amount.
