@ambitiosus1079 Just what I was going to say, though I'm paying 13p per KWh and less on the night rate. I would like to know how the Tesla compares on CO2 emissions. Electricity is mostly made by burning fossil fuels and its already been shown the renewables have not reduced the overall fuel burn. The intermittent and unreliable power output has to be topped up by running fossil plants inefficiently. Nett saving on CO2 - none.

@davidbesant If you use compressed natural gas in UK (which very few do due to installation costs), you will be required to have a separate gas meter for the car filler and you will pay excise duty on that tax. Sooner or later, the same will happen with electric cars. We are already being prepared for this with NOx emissions and tyre dust emissions.

How does they compare on CO2 emissions? Electricity is made by burning fuel. Gas/petrol cars burn fuel. That fuel is mostly emitting CO2 so how does that compare?
