General Renewable Energy Questions

Can we charge an EV cheaply without buying a home battery as well?

A separate home battery is not automatically needed to benefit from scheduled EV charging. A compatible charger, vehicle and suitable tariff may let the car charge directly during cheaper periods. Check the available window, required energy and the tariff’s other rates. Compare that simpler arrangement before adding storage whose cost needs its own justification. Join the discussion: How much charge do you normally need overnight, and which tariff are you considering? Suggested next step: Assess a suitable charger and tariff first; add storage only where its own case works.
