June 2025
We had our annual holiday in Cornwall this month, going
down to Polsue Gardens just outside Truro. The weather was great and we did some
nice things, including having a super time visiting Charlestown Harbour
where they filmed quite a lot of Poldark – it seems
to be the “go to” place for filming old harbours! They’re doing quite a lot of work there
currently and so it’s a bit of a mess, but promises to be terrific when
they’ve finished.
On our return we had the EV charger mentioned in last
month’s post fitted. A great job
as usual by Sustainable Energy Ltd of Washington. So we are now on Octopus’s Intelligent
Go Tariff, which has a 7p per kW charge during the night. The charger and Octopus interact and so
we also get slots of this cheap rate when it suits the grid – during the
day sometimes. We just plug in and
let the systems talk to each other to plan the charging schedule. All very clever!
