Tell us about your home charging routine
I used to do 10k miles a year when I was working but now I’m retired I do a lot less miles. I can just about keep the car charged overnight if the Andersen decides to work.
If you were buying a new charging unit now, what would you buy and why?
I would buy a charger that is part of the whole solar inverter and battery package and is controlled by the central system manager. As far as I know, only myenergi do this with the zappi and their Harvi, Eddi and Libbi packages.
Tell us about your electricity provider and tariff. Would you recommend them?
I’m with Octopus who are really good and listen to their customers. The car is charged overnight at 7p per kWh.
Are you part of a charger-sharing scheme for those who don’t have their own charger?
No
