Hive launches SmartCharge Saver tariff add-on- to help customers charge electric cars at the cheapest, and greenest time of the day saving up to 2.10 for a full charge for a 30 kWh battery

August 2022, London: New data from smart home experts, Hive, reveals 54% of people are planning to make the switch to an electric car in the next 5 years and whilst 58% would consider a home charger, there is still widespread confusion and concern about the cheapest and most efficient ways to charge them. With the production of petrol cars banned from 2030, its essential drivers understand all aspects of electric car charging to encourage the transition.

One of the major misconceptions is that over a quarter (27%) of people think home charging would be more expensive than public charging. With the cost-of-living crisis forcing most to tighten their belts more than ever, this incorrect assumption could be stopping people from making the swich, which may actually save them money in the long run. With the public charging network largely deemed inadequate due to a lack of charging points, its also less convenient and more expensive than home charging, costing up to 10 per charge at a public rapid charger*, which is much more than the at home cost.

When asked how much they thought it would cost to fully charge an average electric estate car with a home charger, respondents estimated around 21**. In reality, the average cost is 7.50***, a stark contrast to current fuel costs, that average out at 1.86 per litre.**** Amidst rising living and fuel costs, over half (57%) are also concerned about the impact home charging would have on energy bills.

Most people (71%) are unaware that a home charger can be linked to their energy provider, showing the need for clear information in this area. To support customers, Hive SmartCharge Saver, a brand-new tariff add-on supplied by British Gas and powered by Hive is being trialled by 100 customers this week. Its an add-on that works with Hive EV charging and any British Gas tariff, using intelligent scheduling to charge a customers EV at the cheapest, and greenest time of the day. All the customer needs to do is tell Hive, via the app, when they need their car to be charged by and Hive will do the rest.

Customers will get a discount of 2p per kWH whenever their EV is plugged in continuously for 6 hours and 7p per kWh if the car is plugged in for longer, equating to a max saving of 2.10 per full charge for 30 kWH battery and up to 4.20 saving for a 60kWh battery.

Sustainability is also a big factor with almost a quarter (23%) of people concerned about the environmental impact of using a home charger. The new Hive tariff add-on takes care of this by effortlessly charging the car at the greenest time of day.

Although there is a clear demand for home chargers, theres a lack of understanding around the installation process. Over three quarters (76%) are in the dark about what makes a home eligible for a home charger and 36% are worried they would need to make significant changes in order to have one installed, when they just need to own their own property and have a driveway. Hive guides customers through the EV charger process, from start to finish with an installation from an expert British Gas engineer and 24/7 support available on demand. The Hive EV Charger can be controlled via the Hive app enabling customers to charge their car from wherever they are and keep track of their expenditure

Henry Duff, Head of Net Zero at Hive comments: Were getting closer to the ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles and with petrol prices at an all- time high, some people may be considering the switch to an electric vehicle. However, it is evident from our research that theres still confusion around EV charging, particularly when it comes to costs. This is one of the reasons were launching the trial of the EV SmartCharge Saver tariff add-on, with the aim of making it available to all EV-owning customers in the future. As a responsible, trusted supplier, its our job to ensure our customers are on the most energy and cost-efficient rates and this new add-on aims to do just that helping customers save money on running an electric car. We understand the move to electric cars can be daunting, so we want to make the transition as simple as possible for those where home charging is an option.

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens and Ward 5 Councillor Ed Sleiman are pleased to see the completion of another important road project, as Erskine Street is now completely repaired and repaved.

Work to the west side of Erskine was done in the summer of 2021, and earlier this month the final removal and replacement of the asphalt pavement on the east side was completed.

Erskine Street is a small but densely populated area of the city, home to multiple multi-residential buildings, making it a high-traffic area for residents and visitors. Since the completion of this roadwork and the removal of potholes and cracks, residents can now enjoy a smooth safe commute.

To date, from a capital and operating budget that consistently outputs large amounts of infrastructure improvements, approximately 48 lane-kilometres of roadway have been improved in 2022, which is basically the equivalent of paving from Windsor to Leamington. The Citymaintains approximately 1,076 kilometres of roads overall.

Fixing and maintaining Windsors roads is a no brainer, as they remain vital components for the continued growth of our city. As new residents make Windsor their home, and with the completion of many exciting infrastructure projects, well need to continue providing safe roads for commuting to and from work. I applaud Councillor Sleiman for his leadership on this project and all the support he provides residents of Ward 5. Mayor Drew Dilkens

Erskine Street is an important neighbourhood in Ward 5 that should not be forgotten. Ive spoken with multiple residents in the area who urgently needed this section repaved to provide a safer entrance to their homes. Im pleased to see this project completed and grateful to have been able to get it done and deliver results for my community. Councillor Ed Sleiman, Ward 5

Editor:

The recently enacted Bethany Town Council ordinance regarding new driveway material requirements (permeable paving products) is flawed in its intent and legislative process.

I put the word enacted into quotes because the council in its own words, tabled the ordinance and, somehow, finalized it at the same time. Tabling legislation as defined in Roberts Rules of Order and every other parliamentary procedure and law, is a means to suspend consideration of legislation for further consideration, not enact it. Apparently, thats not what happens in Bethany Beach, Del.

Furthermore, the promulgation of the ordinance was woefully insufficient. As required by law, the public hearing for proposed law was printed in the newspaper of record and the hearing was open to the public. So unless you were at the hearing or happened to read the newspaper legal notices, you had no way of knowing the ordinance was enacted.

Last fall, I began the long and tedious process of finding a contractor to replace a 40-year-old stone driveway with a concrete one. During those months, I dutifully consulted with the town building inspector, who was very helpful with my design. Finally, this last May, I finalized a deal with a concrete contractor who has done a lot of private work in Bethany Beach.

Earlier this month, my contractor submitted a request for a building permit to the building inspector. To his and my surprise (and disbelief), the permit was denied. The new ordinance was in now in effect. The contractor, who has done many concrete projects for the town, had no idea that the driveway requirements had changed nor the availability and cost of permeable products.

I immediately called the building inspector, who understood my concern but was powerless to provide any remedy. I then checked the Town website to research the ordinance. Incredibly, the newly enacted ordinance was not listed in the list of council hearing minutes or the list of recently enacted ordinances, so, I tried to call and email the mayor or any council member. None of them have phone numbers and, unbelievably, the email links did not work, not even to the town manager.

Other than the building inspector, the only person to answer the phone was the towns office receptionist. She actually had to separately contact the assistant town manager to ask her to call me. And the assistant manager did call, offering her apology for what had happened to my permit, and tried to assure me that the ordinance was somehow properly enacted and promulgated. I strongly disagreed.

After talking to the assistant town manager, I researched permeable paving products. Ironically, I learned that both permeable concrete and pavers will eventually clog up, and require regular maintenance to remain permeable. And, not surprising, both are a lot more expensive.

Faced with this new ordinance, I suspect that most people will now stay with cheaper stone driveways, even though the use of herbicides will increase enormously. Just another unintended consequence of ill-conceived legislation. Too bad.

LARCHMONT, NY The price of the benefits of fresh asphalt and a smooth tarmac on Larchmont streets will be a little extra planning on commuters' and homeowners' parts for a few days.

The Village of Larchmont announced that road paving will be taking place from Monday, July 25 - Friday July 29.

The affected roads will be:

Residents of these streets will not have access to their driveways between the hours of 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., from Monday, July 25 to Friday, July 29. Affected residents are encouraged to find alternative locations for storage of vehicles during road work hours if they need use of their cars.

Residents of Ervilla Drive will be affected by similar closure conditions due to paving on Monroe.

Larchmont Public Works will distribute notices to all affected residents in the next few days.

The Larchmont Police Department will assist with traffic control.

For more information, you can contact the Public Works Department at 914-834-6965.

Sentara Obici Hospitals parking lots and access roads are in the midst of a $1 million repaving this summer.

Its the first time since the hospital opened in 2000 that they have been repaved. Blair Brothers Paving of Suffolk is doing the work, which involves milling two inches off the old surface and laying down more than 7,800 tons of new and recycled asphalt on 71,000-square-yards of parking lots, according to Sentara Healthcare spokesman Dale Gauding.

There will also be fresh, new striping to clearly mark parking spaces, crosswalks and wayfinding aids for safety. Some of the decorative pavers that have shifted out of place over the years due to repeated freezing and thawing, and that have created a trip hazard, will be removed.

Temporary signs are in place to direct patients and visitors to areas open for parking during the project.
