Hello tencherman, Like you, I'm driving up to 5k miles p.a. and am an Octopus customer. I considered switching to Go from Flexible and getting a 7kw charger but I decided that the increase in non off-peak unit rates and the cost of charger installation would cost me more than sticking with Flexible....

......If there were.. they're dead now...

Yesterday I've traveled with temperatures upwards of 37.. up to 41c...

I'm pleased to hear it FDAD!

I don't envy you your high temperatures in Portugal at the moment - we in the uk had 2 days of it and that was too much for me.
