With climate change in the news yesterday (why won't somebody think of the children!?) I thought I'd highlight some of the Inspirit Charger's selling points from the Inspirit blog a few years ago at:

The Inspirit Charger generates electricity at the same time as heat. The overall efficiency is in excess of 90%. This means that the cost of the electricity, assuming all the heat is used, is only around 10% more than the cost of gas. Given that gas can be purchased domestically now for as little as 2.25p/kWh, this means that the cost of electricity produced by the Inspirit Charger is just 2.5p/kWh in terms of gas use, more than four times cheaper than electricity from the grid. Once installed, it makes perfect sense to ‘refuel’ a Tesla with an Inspirit Charger, particularly since the Inspirit Charger can run overnight, which is just when the Tesla is likely to be charging.

Wholesale electricity prices have also fallen but by not nearly so much. The reason for this is principally down to market structures, green levies and the fact that electricity has to be created through one of a number of generation processes, most of which today are fairly inefficient. Coal fired power stations, for example, throw away between 60% and 70% of the energy in the coal as heat in the cooling towers. Gas fired power stations waste between 45% and 60% of their energy as heat. Whereas microCHP boilers operate at over 90% efficiency, losing less than 10% of the heat up the flue. And, unlike heat pumps, they don’t put additional strains on the electricity grid, in fact they reduce them by generating at the point of use and so freeing up capacity to be used elsewhere.

An example closer to home could be small scale generators with Inspirit Chargers selling their excess electricity to their local council or local supermarket, in much the same way as TFL is working with industrial companies, but on a smaller and even more local scale.
...
The timing of peak heat demand tends to reflect peak electricity demand, making the electricity from an Inspirit Charger much more valuable than electricity from solar PV panels.
