  Recharging a Tesla 3 at home comes to just under £30 by my calculations

    Dang electricity must be expensive AF over there. Where I’m at in the US I pay $0.04/kWh (super off peak) and can fill up 0-100% (75kw) like 3 times for only $11 (£8.61) Image

      It is very expensive here at the moment. Wholesale electricity prices went though the roof last winter, largely due to Western Europe's erliance on Russian gas

    Electricity at home hasn’t been 7p/kwh for decades. 30p is a low estimate.

      7.5p/kwh overnight with an EV tariff on octopus. Even non-EV tariff night rates are like 17p/kwh.

        And it’s very unlikely that this home owner is on that tariff
