Electricity price comparisons
Another wannabe Powerswitch competitor posting on Neighbourly again today with no way to reply to their post. When are these companies going to learn to include EV ownership and solar generation in their input fields. Both of these factors make a huge difference to which provider customers are best suited to.
In our case we are a 2 EV household with sufficient PV capacity to charge them both, run our rural home (pumped water & 2x 700L freezers) and other household consumption and still we are in credit for the 4th month in a row with Octopus Energy as our provider. The results displayed by the likes of NZ Compare bear no resemblance to our use model.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
