All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

Not really. Safety wise, its a big problem. But the cost is minimal

Does she also consider charging phones, laptops, or using lights theft?

I’m sure she made that money back through what she charged.

It’s not difficult to see any landlord adding £20 a day quite happily for charging. Plus, if the landlord puts the tariff onto a cheap overnight rate like Octopus it should cover the fuse board upgrade.

Agreed. Seems like good business sense to install a charger anyway. But you can’t really stop people using electricity…even if a cable trailing out a window might not be a good idea.

What a shit, anti-ev article.

But in answer to the question, I'd ask the host before arriving, and would expect to pay / donate to cover the cost of charging the car. It'd work out as an extra fiver a day or so, at a guess.

20 cars cost her £500. 1500kWh at 33p per kWh? 200 charges of a Model S?

Why do all these stories make numbers up?
