 Price of Fuel - smokie
Yeah the peak daytime is always pricey and always between 16:00 - 19:00. You'd need a fairly chunky (= pricey) bunch of batteries to take care of a half decent evening meal, and they aren't yet cheap enough for me. There are plenty who have complex control equipment so the batteries are charged when the rate is cheapest (or negative which is rare and depends on quite good forecasts for cheap renewable energy going into the grid next day).

I've been on the Go tariff (4 hrs cheap overnight) for a while but I have comparative data coming n overnight via my program and I can see that at the moment, particularly because I am not charging the car a lot, Agile saves a reasonable amount. In fact since day 1 (Nov 2018) it would only have been £50 more but more than £50 was in the first 4 months - so I could have swapped ages ago. And that's without making any effort to do the more heavy duty stuff at cheaper times, which is mostly remarkably easy once you get the hang of it.

PS Some newer cars and charge units can work both ways so your car becomes a store for you (and for the grid if you want) at times
