Agreed, thats who I'm with and since switching, its saved us quite a bit on charging the car. It would be tight to get a full charge on the newer battery size in the time but still.
I wonder if Octopus will inevitably have to increase the time the 5p is available overnight due to the larger batteries in EV's and some PHEV's these days of leave it as is to screw more money out of us.
