Quote from: muddy on Yesterday at 08:57:15 PMI expect so .
But these cheap energy deals will create a great social divide .
For a start you need a drive in order to charge your car .
People who are in flats or town houses cannot do it .
Also people in rental properties can only put in a charger with the landlords approval .
So people who can't afford an EV and live in a home without a drive , generally the less affluent sector of society will not be able to access the cheaper tariffs .

I just see now that the government is making a scheme for channels to be cut into pavements for houses without drives so cables can be used .
Actually you don't need a drive.  There are public chargers in my next street, many of the houses here are terraced, no drives.   There are also chargers in local carparks. 

My son in law likes his cars, and bought an electric one several years ago, he got some green energy deal as a business owner.   Put a fast charger in the garage.  He kept it for a year and then went for a hybrid.  Not sure about the latest recent one, but I know it won't be fully electric.

You'll never believe this!   
I have just read that Pakistan's loophole for refusing to have this man back is because he tore up his Pakistan passport,  so they are saying he is no longer a citizen of Pakistan!!!

You don't need an EV to get a cheap overnight period. There are specific tariffs designed for heat pumps, batteries with or without solar in addition to evs. It's a case of picking a tariff that suits what equipment you have. I have a small rooftop solar and battery setup and my electricity works out to be about zero as my only consumption is at night rate and I get payment for export back to the grid. If I had roofs suitable for more panels they could pay for the gas too but of course the up front cost of the equipment would be more.

Egypt beat Australia and the Egyptian manager parades on the pitch with a Palestinian flag :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:   Following their victory via penalty kicks, Hassan the Egyptian Manager said he was dedicating the win to the "good and noble Egyptian and Palestinian people"

"My heart and soul are with them," he added in his post-match interview. "I dedicate this victory to the Palestinians. May Allah grant them victory and have mercy on their martyrs."

Hope they get knocked out next round - sorry Mo !  :grin:
