A man has been left furious after his housemate bought an electric car - but still wants to split their energy bills evenly. The energy price cap for October was confirmed yesterday, with millions of people across the UK now facing an average annual increase of £1,578.
Ofgem also revealed that the price cap has almost doubled from £1,971 to £3,549 for those on default tariffs paying by direct debit. Feeling the strain of skyrocketing energy prices, the man explained how his roommate has added to his cost of living woes after purchasing an electric car.
Although saving on petrol, the housemate will need to charge the vehicle at home - and is expecting his friend to foot some of the bill, the Mirror reports. Posting to Reddit, the anonymous man claims his housemate is insisting that they continue to split their energy bill 50/50 despite his new energy-guzzling motor.
