Home charging has transformed the economics of owning an electric vehicle in the UK.
With smart overnight tariffs, it can cost as little as £6 ($8) to fully charge your EV at home — compared to more than £20 at a public charger.

The next frontier is even more exciting: using your car’s battery not just for driving, but to power your home during peak hours and even support the wider electricity grid. This is the promise of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology.

In this episode, I speak with Peter McDonald, Mobility Director at charging company Ohme.

With two decades of experience at companies like Nissan and Volkswagen, Peter shares why the UK’s unique energy market makes home charging so much cheaper, and why the country could become a leading testbed for V2G as volatile power prices create new opportunities.
