Well, we’ve never travelled into central London so cheaply before!

Knowing that parking is currently free near the BBC at the top of Regent Street (Portland Place), we decided to travel up from Guildford, to see if we could park there.

Loads of spaces! Free only until midnight tonight though ;-)

No congestion charge, no LEZ or ULEZ, and free parking meant our family of 4 drove to, and parked within a 10 min walk of Oxford Street for a total cost of £2.81 ! (Our current rate is 12.9p / kWh I think, fixed until August).

Although of course it’s a false economy travelling into central London so cheaply with Mrs Goaty and Ms Goaty so near to Oxford St ! 😫

Little gems like this remind me why having an EV is such a great thing :-)

Just to be clear (good job I checked!!)

… the London Congestion Charge of £15 daily (currently) still applies unless you’ve registered with TFL and applied for the relevant EV discount (which costs £10 per year) AND uploaded the V5C document to prove the Enyaq is an EV.

Their system is not smart enough to acknowledge from your vehicle reg details that it’s an EV.

I made a thread here:
