Good video. Nice to see your STO broadly align with real data. For reference, I sold my 5x Growatt ML33RTA 3.3kWh batteries on ebay recently as £600 each. First installed April 2022, the second Nov 2022 and the last three December 2023. Think they were about £1000 each when purchased.

I know I keep banging on about this, but can't you find some slightly used storage heaters locally and swap those electric radiators out for them? Charging up the storage heaters would be so much cheaper on the IOG cheap slot that you'd be quids in almost straight away.

Yes, I think this is correct. But really, Octopus want the car plugged in throughout the day if it’s at home. I think if Octopus can buy some “increase demand” system notices during the day and then sell you ‘leccy at 7p it’s more profitable for them.

This was the stand out slide for me. It puts the bed the "you must have a well insulated house" myth.

Other brands are available. Tesla isn't the only game in town.
We have an I-PACE and and e-Golf. Both brilliant in their own way.

Well, yes, if I account for the inverter's heat loss as usage then the rule holds true. The only issue what that is that the loss isn't accounted for using, say, my MyEnergi statistics, which are then a little incorrect.

Loving the stats videos. Please keep them coming.
In the video, you say that (gen + import) = (usage + export) but personally I don't find that to be the case. The reason being that I get ~10% loss in the inverter when grid charging batteries and another ~10% loss through discharge.
