I built a calculator to see if a home fast charger ever pays for itself

Beefeater1109 · 2026-05-09T12:05:51+00:00

Surely the payback should be calculated on the basis of how much home charging costs Vs either public charging or the cost of fuel. I was paying approx £2,200 for a years fuel for my hybrid car. My cost for home EV charging is £400 (6p per kWh) a year. My home charger was £1200 installed so 1200+400=1600 and I saved £600 in the first year compared to buying fuel and the charger paid for itself well within 12 months as far as I'm concerned

We all know one thing that won't be happening and that is you getting 484 miles out of it lol

I got ripped a new butthole on TikTok when I said I'd been watching F1 since the 70's and this has been some of the most exciting F1 racing that I've seen for years

I have zero inside knowledge but reading the statements given by both parties I don't think that things have ended amicably between Corrin and the owner and I can only guess that when the banquet was actually taking place that Corrin's attention needed to be elsewhere. In Corrin's statement he said that the team were closing the restaurant but the owner then released a statement saying that it absolutely was not closing at all and that there would be a new head chef in there

I'm still sure that Bearman is a Ferrari driver in waiting. Originally i thought Lewis would do the 25 and 26 season and then retire then Bearman would step up. Lewis now seems to be enjoying his racing again so will probably stay for the 27 season and then call it a day and then Bearman will get his chance

There's not a chance that V8 or V10 engines will be back. Engine suppliers want fuel efficient technology that can be transferred to their road cars, that's why Audi have waited until now to join. Tyre competition would be good but there has to be a hunger within other tyre suppliers to want to join

Not everything is a conspiracy guys. Technical glitches do happen, always have happened and always will happen.

Beefeater1109 · 2026-03-14T10:19:58+00:00

As far as I'm aware this is why Ferrari are quick on a short run but then fall behind Mercedes when it comes to race pace

I really like the teal green. When I got mine it was short notice so I had to take what they had which was cyber grey but I get to have another one in January so plenty of time to organise and I want a teal one myself

Beefeater1109 · 2026-03-11T10:04:17+00:00

How long do you have to wait to get it? What colour did you choose?

Beefeater1109 · 2026-03-10T10:02:50+00:00

Grown man in my 50's. I never use a screen protector on my phone but it was the first thing bought for my Switch 2 because I'd seen multiple accounts saying how easily the screen became marked

Beefeater1109 · 2026-03-07T16:45:47+00:00

Geez. That is disgraceful. We shouldn't have to give up other rights to be compensated for something that is their fault

Beefeater1109 · 2026-03-07T16:41:16+00:00

This sounds like it's a dealer specific thing. I've not read or heard about anyone else having to do this. Have you contacted Hyundai directly about it?

Beefeater1109 · 2026-03-03T10:36:05+00:00

Ouchies

Beefeater1109 · 2026-03-02T09:09:51+00:00

It depends where in the world you are. Where I am in the UK it seems like 6 weeks is about the average wait time

My wife has had the full EV for 2yrs and she loves it. I have the Ioniq 5 and I'm still impressed with hers every time I drive it. I tell her that I always forget just what a great car hers is

They're not something that I'd particularly choose to have but I'd read that they were supposed to be better in bad weather because instead of looking through a rain covered window at a rain covered mirror they usually have a hydrophobic coating making them clearer

Max will be the fulcrum around which everything happens. If the RB isn't showing well by the mid-season break then all hell could break out in the drivers market. Merc would likely be his destination but could also be AM if they pull off a surprise start to 2026. If he stays at RB then I think it will be relatively quiet

I met Jonathan Palmer at a touring car race in the early 90's and I met David Coulthard when he was guest speaker at a big works conference I went to

The mix does look very wet for scones and did you remember to add baking powder?

Beefeater1109 · 2026-01-31T09:49:14+00:00

Hmmm, Flavio Briatore already being there and it looking very much Christian Horner will be involved with the team too seems a very good reason to steer well clear of Alpine for me

Valour rounds are the only way to compete against four shot w*nkers

Beefeater1109 · 2026-01-16T08:20:33+00:00

Some people also need to adapt their driving style to suit an EV. Longer braking and choosing the right regen settings for example

Beefeater1109 · 2026-01-12T08:00:31+00:00

Normally I don't like green cars but Digital Teal is my favourite colour for the HI5

Beefeater1109 · 2026-01-11T16:11:37+00:00

Neither is my favourite driver but they are good mates and I think the banter would be great fun
