So they are going out to buy fuel they don’t need to save money, makes sense
Fuel price discussion thread (was ‘chaos’)
- Thread starter watercooledman
- Start date
The price isn't being driven up by UK buyers, the price increase is actually worldwide. Pretty sure it was in the news UK buyers were filling up less often due to these prices.
That won't happen for long time by then all EV's will have 1,000/2,000 mile range

I'm EV owner so I don't care about the fuel prices as you know there is more then 5,500 Charging points in London

Indeed, but it will happen and likely sooner than you think.
1.5p per mile (Tesla, Octopus Go/Intelligent 7.5p kWh). I think my previous car, Golf R, would be around 35p atm (24mpg average).
They cannot differentiate between the elec I use in my house and that I use for my car.
Don’t see any panic buying. There is a part of me that likes a good conspiracy theory and thinks the prices are increased so the oil produces make as much profit before EV’s take over. Or the increase is push to us onto EV’s quicker.
Why would the fuel producers want to push us to EVs quicker?
I guess his point is that EVs will soon have such a large range that public chargers won't be needed as much. So the price they charge won't effect many people.
No, they just want to make as much money as they can before we all move over. They don’t want us too.

- There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Roughly How many miles do you get if you charge overnight at 7.5p?
27-32 miles/hour

Yeah but these energy companies need to make their money somewhere, they will just charge a really hefty amount when you do need to charge.
Just charge it at home.

Is that going to be much cheaper in the future with prices increasing.
Even on the current price cap it's still less than half the cost of a petrol car at the moment so I'd say it's going to be cheaper for a while yet.
Intelligent Octopus is 7 hours, 1.5p a mile is based on 200w per mile. So at 7.4kWh that's 37 miles per hour less a little when transferring to the car.
200w mile is optimal, heavy acceleration, colder conditions etc can make it 50% more.
Well it will be inline with you home electric, unless they start taxing Odometer, I'd imagine they would kill off fossil first.
