United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Are you saying it is something between £15 and £50?
At £50 l, that's more than my wife's car is to fill up, and would let it run for 400 miles or so. Are those numbers accurate because that's wild that electricity costs as much as petrol.
Electricity at home hasn’t been 7p/kwh for decades. 30p is a low estimate.
7.5p/kwh overnight with an EV tariff on octopus. Even non-EV tariff night rates are like 17p/kwh.
And it’s very unlikely that this home owner is on that tariff
googles for numbers

yes sorry, i was half awake!
Recharging a Tesla 3 at home comes to just under £30 by my calculations
Dang electricity must be expensive AF over there. Where I'm at in the US I pay $0.04/kWh (super off peak) and can fill up 0-100% (75kw) like 3 times for only $11 (£8.61)
It is very expensive here at the moment. Wholesale electricity prices went though the roof last winter, largely due to Western Europe's erliance on Russian gas
