So, as I don't have any ev vehicles I've never looked at cheap overnight tarrifs.

When I started on EV (eUp!) we were on a fixed deal at just over 3p /kWh , and the Up does around 5 - 6 m/kWh . Now I’m paying around 8p/kWh. I run heavy-use domestic appliances overnight as well, so getting an EV means my bill has gone down!

If you want a cheap EV van the Kia has some good feedback. If you want the Buzz because of the looks then go for it. If you like worrying about DPF and crankcase oil seals and head gaskets and water pumps and turbos and EGR valves and camshafts and fuel injectors and DMF and clutch plates and timing chains and interrupted regen on short journeys then keep running the T6.1. I’m still running my diesel van until it dies of all the above, and its replacement in many years time will be an EV.

Now that our children are a bit older we are thinking about selling our T6 camper and getting a low mileage second hand Buzz (probably 18 months old).

We’re not thinking of camping in it obviously but a car we can do road trips in.

We already have two EV’s - a iD3 and a Fiat 500 La Prima - we love the drive of both of them and the cheap overnight charging (£0.085 on Octopus).
