The setup
Marcus Lindqvist’s family runs two electric cars and a 10 kWh battery, and both cars used to go on charge the minute they got home.
Kova staggers the two cars across the cheap overnight window and uses the battery to cover the evening.
“Set up took 20 minutes, on my phone. The overnight plan is genuinely clever.” - Marcus Lindqvist
What made the difference
Moving both cars to the cheapest four hours of the night saved £84 a month with no change to their routine.
