Home charging unit – outline both positive & negative elements 

My Wallbox charger is superb and has software enabling me to charge at cheap night-time rates.

 

Electricity supplier & tariff – outline both positive & negative elements

My supplier Utility Warehouse has a best in-class night rate of 10p per kWh, available from 12.30am to 7.30am. The day rate is on the high side but as I have solar panels this is less of a problem.

 

What public charging networks would you recommend to others and why?

IONITY, GRIDSERVE and bp pulse have all worked well for me.

 

Insurer – outline both positive & negative elements 

LV is my multi-car insurer – I had no problem switching from a petrol car to an all electric, price was OK.
