I built a calculator to see if a home fast charger ever pays for itself

I'm looking to get my first EV soon and keep seeing threads recommending to get a 7kw charger installed but I wasn't sure if I'd ever see a benefit over just using a granny charger.

I only do 10-15 miles per day, anyway I built a little calculator that allows you to put in efficiency/unit rates/off peak times etc and compare 3 pin and 7kw to find the break even point (if any!).

Hope others find it useful 👍

For me it wouldn't ever recoup the cost. In future I may get one if we get a second EV, wondering if I'm missing anything or are many of you guys using only a granny charger?

The weather wasn't great and it was rather busy, photos aren't great but thought I'd share what I managed to capture...

Almost lost my account now I'm back from a scam. (Urgent Please Read).

I believe someone highjacked my friends Reddit account and told me to friend his discord account, did that then they told me to friend a "reddit mod" there (which I foolishly went along with).

After that, told me to send link of my account so he can overview it, then told me to change email address to an outlook email with my username at the start, did that.

Then told me to delete the email of the email address change from my inbox and bin (thankfully didn't do that).

Then some yapping, then ghosted me.

Searched on my other account, about the person's name "Brian Lee", found similar stories from the past week.

My heart started pumping after realising my worst mistake.

So went back to the email that they told me to delete, and clicked the button saying that I didn't change email.

Change password, logged out of all accounts, then recovered my account then now I'm back.

Commented on both posts I found on my other account, and said said not so nice words about them which I won't mention here.

But successfully got it back, after waiting and wasting 3 hours of my sleep for a response. (Which happened between 1:30 am and 4:10 am (just happened now basically, even tho this is being posted 20 mins after the fact).

Sent them a Ishowspeed laughing emoji and 67 meme (emojis posted below), and said better luck next time to both.
