Let the conversation begin ... As Quentin Willson told The Daily Express: "If every driver pays that extra £6.80p for a weekly fill up – that’s around £400 a year -, the Government could reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners, support the NHS, invest more in social services and maybe even fix some #potholes. I support fair and transparent fuel prices for UK drivers, but if we’re handing over taxpayers’ cash to an industry that isn’t passing savings to consumers, then it’s time we created a better system and spent that money on more important social priorities. £6.80 a week seems a small price to help pay for a better society ..."

Tesla unveils major changes to impact drivers - 'EVs are cheaper to run, and it’s not even close!' I'll just place that there. Thanks to Felix Reeves from GB News for this story on the Tesla app showing EV drivers just how much wonga they save ... Fiona Howarth, CEO of Octopus Electric Vehicles: “The new ‘Fuel Savings’ feature from Tesla, a true pioneer in the EV industry, clearly shows how much money you can save by ditching your polluting fossil fuel car.

Following reports of a new feature for Tesla drivers which allows their savings - compared to fossil fuel driving - to be seen through their app Fiona Howarth, CEO of Octopus Electric Vehicles, comments: “The new ‘Fuel Savings’ feature from Tesla, a true pioneer in the EV industry, clearly shows how much money you can save by ditching your polluting fossil fuel car. EVs are cheaper to run than old school fossil fuel cars, and it’s not even close. “The ‘affordability factor’ is often overlooked; especially when linked to a tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go. It’s the most popular home charging tariff on the market - allowing customers to drive from London to Cornwall for under £5, leaving more cash in families’ pockets.” The new feature from Tesla uses the UK’s most popular EV charging tariff, Intelligent Octopus Go, as the baseline for their charging savings. Octopus Energy Intelligent Octopus Go: Launched in early 2022, Intelligent Octopus Go takes smart charging to the next level, and is the UK’s first 100% flexible charging tariff - providing drivers with six hours of low cost charging each night. The number of customers on the tariff has increased five-fold in the last year alone - with over 180,000 drivers now taking advantage of lower rates. Off-peak charging rate: 7p per kWh.
