"Grow up" . . now there is a truly Twitter quality reply. Sad to see here. But more to the point, you do indy no favours with such easy to demonstrate FUD. We need to be taken seriously on questions such as currency and debt. This BBC/WoS type of framing an issue does NOT help the cause.

But even if I did not use Octopus at 7.5p per kWh . . if I had the average UK home unit price of 22.36p per kWh . . it would STILL only be £17.23 to fill my tank for 311 miles of range. Unless you drive a moped, I suggest home charging with ANY unit price will save money.

I drive an ID4. I know *EXACTLY* how long it takes. Hint: many fewer hours than I sleep each night. And as for cost . . . "filling" my tank (if empty) at night, at home, costs £5.78 for 311 miles of range. Care to compare that to filling your ICE tank?

And by ignoring "slow home chargers" . . . that *IS* the cheery picking. Most EV owners today charge their cars 90%+ at home. This post frames the question of ICE vs. EV by ignoring the both the cheapest AND most frequent way EV drivers charge. Calling your post disingenuous is being polite.

I understand the desire to bash Labour. But this level of cheery-picking statistics and framing the narrative is worth of BBC Scotland when covering the SNP. You say 8 kWh is too slow for home charging? Tell us, how fast is your home petrol pump - to be a fair comparison???
