Be interesting what new products will appear on the market and what products are gonna start really selling, I think LED lighting and electric blanket sales will rocket. it will be like in the pandemic where certain things just went mental and we had all these new products like masks and sanitizers and screens etc... but this time will super energy efficient devices (they say...)

Will be a fair few scams with those plugin boxes that "save you 80%" will sell like cupcakes and do jack **** :(
 
I think the next big thing will be personal heating devices.

Heated Vest and gloves have been used for years by motorcyclists so will work really well in the home.

Yup so sellers will find these cheap then just triple the price for a greedy profit then start selling them to vulnerable ppl (pretty much how this world works lol)
 
I can vouch for the heated blankets. We have a lower room temperature and sit under them. Cheap to run, local vs general heating.

Yup why heat whole house when only thing that is cold is you! :)

We need lockdown bar heaters!!! Maybe that is the next big mod!!! Can't play no game with a cold lockdown bar.
 
I’m currently on octopus but waiting till my contract ends.
It will be interesting to see what tomorrow / Friday announcement on max tariffs will bring.
 
October, winter price cap set at £3549, up from £1971, in April and £1400 last October.
My calculations are kW for electricity will be ~£0.52 and gas ~£0.13. Each supplier can set this and their daily standing charge in a way to meet or be under the cap.
 
52p electric 15p gas. Where's the SAS & 007 when you need them, Putin needs sorting out, and the big Russian gas tap turning back to fully open.

That is a good deal, I wanted to swap to something like this to charge my battery at night in winter but the site wont let you swap unless you have a ev!!!!
 
It is important to be honest in all things.

If you need an EV ...

Do you have a friend with an EV ?

Could you formally lease (document it) this EV for a period of time ? Get the electric deal answering all questions honestly.

The period of EV lease might not be that long. But you told no lies ?

Its a slave battery so I'm assuming you already have the same model master battery and battery/combined solar inverter in which case you can just add it yourself, but be carefull with DC power, even 48v can be harmfull, use thick rubber gloves and eye protection as a precaution.

Very nice, way prices are going solar is a no brainer these days. I really can’t see it getting better in the next few years either.
