Either way it's a good deal, but does not factor the massive capital

But how long will it be before the government decide that they have to
tax the electricity to charge a car at the equivalent rate as the tax or
petrol/diesel? Why do you think that they want smart meters fitted to
every household?


Although it would be hard to tell the difference between "Tesla
charging" and "Several storage heaters".
