Not necessarily.
So it looks like Pinergy would have adopted an early competitive pricing strategy in order to gain market share.
That potentially didn't pay off for them.
They didn't get as many people as they thought.
So it's currently about 1800 customers affected by out of their total 28,000.
Their rate from 5.49 to 9.9 is still the cheapest in the market.
even after the raise.
So we're talking, you know, our 11.1 cent electric island are 9.94, but they actually only do it for two hours from 2 to 4 a.m.
So there's little ways and means around making that not work for people as well.
And then flow gas are currently 7.66, but on the 20th of July, they're going to go to 9.96.
So it looks like the going average rate is around 10 cent per kilowatt hour at that time.
Yeah, it's pretty good value.
So if you were to take, we'll say, the average charge at 7 or 7.8 kilowatt hours in an average car, you're going to get about 100 kilometres out of that and it's going to cost you about €2.10.
If you compare that to 100 kilometres in your average petrol vehicle, that's going to be about €9 at €1.80 a litre.
So it's significantly cheaper than a petrol car still and, you know, at...
less than a quarter of the cost overall on that.
Yeah, so the reality is, you know, all these prices are designed up when EV adoption wasn't as high.
We're starting to see EV adoption go up and particularly through pilot schemes of the government.
trying to get more and more people on electric chargers.
It's definitely cheaper to charge them at night, so demand at night goes up.
