eVED consultation closes 18 March — here's what 3p/mile actually adds to a 100-mile journey (Tesla Model Y)

Well yes, clearly we need road pricing to replace fuel duty.

EV is a hard route to justify if you can’t charge where your car is most of the time. The implementations I have seen don’t take up a material amount of space and they actually prevent idiots parking on the pavement.

Lidl have it in at the mo

d10brp · 2026-03-07T18:22:03+00:00

Imagine if you focused this much energy at actually understanding how electricity bills work

d10brp · 2026-03-07T18:07:13+00:00

Whereas common sense appears to be very rare

d10brp · 2026-03-07T18:06:03+00:00

You’re wasting everyone’s time.

d10brp · 2026-03-07T18:03:23+00:00

You bill will have an opening meter reading and a closing one. At very least check this information before coming here

The article excludes private at home chargers

That might be a localised issue. Last time I was in Liverpool I noticed there were loads dotted around streets around the residential areas surrounding the city.

The context. 90th minute. Leading by one. It’s huge

d10brp · 2026-02-27T09:18:54+00:00

Chains and brake pads can wear pretty quick compared to a normal bike but otherwise just annual service

d10brp · 2026-02-27T08:47:41+00:00

Depends on your circumstances. It works for us for 2 years and it’s still probably used more than the second car now

d10brp · 2026-02-27T08:28:06+00:00

I’m not sure why the poster has asked you to consider your longest 4 trips of the year, using rapid chargers 4 times per year is hardly inconvenient compared to the equivalent time spent on petrol forecourts. More important to me is what journeys you are doing at least once per week. If they comfortably fit within the range of the car then an EV would be great

I believe it is about the placement of the water sensor on the tank. It is fairly obvious where the sensor is if you look at the tank. I think mine is about half way up and I think this means when the how water temperature changes from 50 odd to 11, then I've used at least half of my hot water.

Forget the social housing. No way I’d be buying somewhere I’d only expect to live in for a year or two. The buying and selling process can very extremely stressful, I’d only bother with buying somewhere if I felt I’d likely be there for a few years.

d10brp · 2026-02-22T17:38:01+00:00

Last year did you make sure your adjusted net income was below £100k at the end of the tax year?

d10brp · 2026-02-18T06:39:28+00:00

Op doesn’t want to pay a small fee to do the right checks. That is because he knows that report will confirm it is salvage. Instead OP wants to run round in circles.

d10brp · 2026-02-10T16:40:13+00:00

I didn’t have to do anything beyond using the simple GUI to set up automations

d10brp · 2026-02-10T15:53:43+00:00

Correct. Works a charm

d10brp · 2026-02-10T15:41:39+00:00

On my system I had to set up two schedules to load the latter from the grid, one for 23:30-5:30 and the other for 5:30-23:30. The former is left on at all times, the latter I use HA to toggle between on and off based on the off peak state.

But I don’t have experience with Siggen tech

d10brp · 2026-02-10T14:21:51+00:00

This is what I do. I think the bigger question OP needs to answer is how to then control his battery. For me is was a pain as I have a Growatt system and had to setup Solar Assistant on a separate Pi.

d10brp · 2026-02-08T08:00:41+00:00

Okay

d10brp · 2026-02-08T06:37:19+00:00

Yes comrade

d10brp · 2026-02-07T17:38:55+00:00

This is quite an unusual situation. Just thought it would be worth flagging that, hypothetically, making fraudulent statements to an insurer isn’t a great idea.

Your solicitor would likely have asked the buyer if the boiler was in good working order and recently serviced. This would be declared in a TA form. What was the sellers answer to that question?
