<p>The Kia is proving to be a great drive. There have been some technical issues with getting my energy provider (<a href="https://octopus.energy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Octopus Energy</a>) linked into the <a href="https://ohme-ev.com/ohme-ev-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ohme</a> charger.</p>

<p>Once that was enabled I could charge the car overnight (23.30 - 05.30) for only 10p per Kw/H which is a very good deal. I'm getting about 3.5 miles per Kw/H - £6.81/£0.10 = 68 then multiply by 3.5 equals 235 miles.</p>

<p>This phenomenal return is not true when charging away from home when costs can be as high as 75p per Kw/H and equates to only 31 mpg. This is better than the Porsche (25mpg) but not by much. I cannot see EV ownership working for people without a home charger.</p>
