The all things EV chat thread

I wasn’t expecting it so when a letter from the DVLA arrived I was fearing something different. I didn’t think I was speeding or running a red light, but you never really know.

When you do something naughty like that, the letter comes from the constabulary, not the DVLA

If you are on Octopus I am intrigued about what tariff you are on.

I thought all tariffs included the 11.30-5.30 cheap rate.

Personally my bedroom is too close to the washing machine etc to want to have it on during the middle of the night.

They told me that they have an 8.5p tariff that, (I think), starts at 12.30. I'm due to catch up with them this week so I'll post up anything different they offer

Hybrid question for owners:

Recently bought a 24 plate Kia Niro hybrid (self charging) and very pleased with it. However, I have noticed that, when in full EV mode, the temperature inside the car seems to go down a little. Not changed the settings or anything. It only lasts about 15-30 seconds but is definitely noticeable. Is this normal?
