A two room install, one 2.5kw and one 3.2kw, with condenser.

£5000

Is Daikin worth that for two rooms? That seems pretty pricey compared to haier at £3,700.

It seems a relatively 'normal' price, but I can't help but think some vendors price base on house size (and potential income) rather than costs and materials!

I only ask as I started a trip last week on 100%, and I got home with the charge indicator now no longer showing, and 2 miles left on the range clock. A little touchy as I passed 2 chargers, one 35 miles from home and one 50 miles from home, and I risked it.

But, 2 miles left..... eek! All of that for an online purchase pickup! No range anxiety, but a little concern and eased off the gas a touch!

What's your 'I almost ran out of charge' story?

We all have a status quo, and often what was good a few years ago may not be as good now. I'm curious at whether you change annually to chase the best price, or are happy enough with what you pay, or if you are honestly a bit lazy and just can't be bothered!!

I love Octopus for a few reasons:

* Clear and great app
* Free coffee weekly
* I am paying less than 3.5p a unit off peak (for a little while anyway)

We have ALL had some range anxiety..... but is there a 'leccy switch anxiety? I say this as:

* I don't want a lock-in fee if I am not happy
* EDF genuinely seems the best bargain on the market right now and has some good incentives, but "will it be as good"?
* Is a £50 incentive and a good tariff better than good API and integration? (I appreciate Kraken fuels many vendors)

I am partly too lazy.
I am partly in a massive comfort zone.
I am partly waiting for Tesla to enter stage left to see how they transform the electricity market as if they mirror what they did in the US, then PowerWalls could become more desireable along with more free electricity (or all you can eat) style packages.

I guess my questions are:

1. Are you a frequent switcher, comfort zone'r, or lazy?
2. Does new providers excite you or make you nervous? (Tomato and Fuse - 2 good in theory, and one was too good to be true but could be worth short term pain?)
3. Did you move from not caring before your EV, and now keep a genuine eye on the pennies? If so, is it the EV or general cost of 'fuel'?

Just an engagement post, but just sharing what is my EV anxiety in energy tariff form!
