United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'm looking at my Tesla app right now in the charging section and I average about 15 dollars a month of electricity, at 14c a kw/h.
So somewhere around 0.50 cents a day in added cost. This landlord is just being fussy and fearful of the "new".
Like people back in the day thinking light switches could shock you dead for flipping them.
*I looked it up for the area specifically and their electricity is up to 40 cents equivalent dollars a kilowatt hour, so it could be up to 3.50 or so bucks a day if it's charging non stop. Electricity is expensive over there and I stand corrected.
This is a UK sub, and unfortunately our electricity is not that cheap at the moment. A current quote from Octopus energy:
Tariff cost breakdown ⚡ ElectricityDaily standing charge 47.95p /day Unit rate 30.3p /kWh
Holy shit.
Yeah, I don't understand why conservatives are against energy independence.
