I have a P440e and in a similar position to you - car is expensed, home is currently undergoing renovation until next April (I hope!) and no charger at the rental house.

Thanks for this insight TMO53, 29mpg on a long run doesn't sound the best does it, especially from something billed to be hyper efficient! This is what I was worried about as my driving is evenly split between Motorway and city. THanks again |

Hi Tim, yes this sounds like a very similar situation. Unfortunately my car is kept in an underground car park so I don't have the option of a 13amp Plug. I could possibly do this at work but there will be no structure to this so I run a high risk of only being able to use petrol station charging points and the like! |

There is a Harry's Garage youtube video on the P510e SV which you might find useful. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |

I have the P460e. I have done just over 6000 miles in 4 months. My average consumption for all miles travelled is 76mpg. My daily commute is only 15 miles each way so I am easily able to do that in EV mode and I can charge at work.

I hope you don't see this intervention as hijacking the thread but I am in the market for another RR but was thinking the P400e my car sits on the drive for days and then it might go to the shops if SWMBO says so (she has her own car but likes to be chauffeured - Hyacinth Bouquet syndrome). I was thinking of a 2019 car and 20 mile range on EV would be more than enough to get to the shops and back. I very occasionally go further as you can see in the attached photo but not very fast, never breaking the speed limit even on th motorway). Looks to me like the P400e fits the bill for me and they are cheap (like me) am I wrong?

Thanks all, I would need to get a smart meter from Octopus energy to get the "off peak" rate but that is only at night from 12.30 to 5.30, I will be tucked up in bed then so it would be useful to know if you can set the charging time on the car. I never tow just a bike rack on the back sometimes and if I do a longer drive I'll be taking my time. Geoff |

I have no idea if you can set the charging time on the car, but if you were charging from a standard 13 amp socket you could use a plug in on/off timer for the 12.30 / 5.30 period, quite cheap and could be handy. |

It's not something I used whilst I had the loaner but I believe there is a way of scheduling charging. |

Yes you can set up timed charging in the car.

Just make sure you've done your sums Geoff. Octopus is very cheap for those 4 (?) hours - and if you regularly use that period for lots of amps then it will be good. But if the rest of your leccy consumption is peak rate - which tends to be slightly loaded over the standard rate, you may find you pay more overall by swapping to Go. I have an old fashioned "economy 7" with Octopus, which gives me 7 hours of cheap (11p so not as cheap as Go) but that suits us better as our household is very leccy heavy and there's only so much of it you can cram in overnight.

I'm on Octopus Intelligent Go and with only a 14kwh Hybrid, I'm definitely saving. We run the dishwasher/washing machine/robot vacuum chargers and a few other things over night and I'm getting c40% of my electricity use at 7p an hour. It's only costs 98p to charge the car and that gets me 35 miles in the summer and around 28 miles in the winter. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid
