"What is your average daily mileage?"
The Swedish botanist Carlos Linnaeus was blissfully unaware of the repercussions his nomenclature in 1753 would have centuries later in 2021. He was the first to identify the Ipomoea genus, naming 17 species under the same name. This meant that any…
"I have a nissan electric van and you can heat the van using the electric from a remote. I don't understand why you would need a diesel heater - does he not have it plugged in at the time? Also I don't find the heater depletes the battery very fast.…"
"> assuming charging at home at 14p/kWh
Wouldn't someone with an EV switch to a cheap overnight tariff and charge overnight? That would be around 5p/kwh (but even that extra saving is only going to make the maths work, currently, at higher mileage)…"

"I don't think there will be any overall savings as what you gain on running costs, you lose on capital costs.
For example contract hire:
