Does anyone know how much it would cost you for electricity if you charged your car from home?

If you're on a typical tariff of 20p a unit (KWh) then a 50KW battery would cost £10 to fill up.

That's likely to go up 50% in April.

That is true and that is why battery and wireless technology needs to improve.

A very interesting argument showing how they've come with wireless care charging.

Wasn't aware there is much of a choice in how you power an ICE car today.

Unlike the generous kind warm-hearted petrol companies, who almost give it away…

Good luck on buying it without that…

(It’s about 50% of the price).

Maybe not as such, but by April 2020 crude oil was trading for negative values . . . so it's near enough (without VAT) lol ;)
