I think Scott's usage is high – I think he mentions between £300-400 / month – but then he's got a hot tub, server rack as well as the cars.

We still have an ICE car and gas central heating but our combined electricity and gas bill is around £140 / month

Plan to go to EV and heat pump in our next house though

external wall insulation and triples glazing first! We did it and made winter ~10 degress warmer, and summer 15 degrees cooler. its cheaper than the solar/battery install.
