FYI I charged at Cobham Sunday before last on the gridserve chargers an paid with Mastercard credit card. Electroverse didn't work but never has for me. Think I was on the 150kw charger. It was early Sunday so only one other charging. Got a peak of 70kw on my mg5 LR.

The car also displays SoC in % if I park it at 40% and I want to charge to 80%. I just select 40% in the app and let it dispatch the charging slots.

Do see this occasionally on my mg5. 12v never been disconnected since I picked it up new APR 22. Dips and bends in the road, other non vehicle lighting seem to confuse the auto dip system from time to time.

My phone got an AA update about a week back. So far the prior 50:50 connection rate is now 100% (about 10 trips).

Take a look at Thread 'Auto headlight flashing' Auto headlight flashing Mine and others from around spring 2022 imports do this

I see similar in mine. I think the wiper blades get quite stiff when cold and don't wipe the glass in front of the camera. Software detects and then all the warnings ⚠️.

Noticed similar on my pre-fl 5 voice commands were pretty good much worse recently. Also plug the phone in fail to connect more frequently in the last few weeks. Needing to reboot the entertainment unit after plugging in to get a connection. Edit - thought while writing the above should clear...

Bit off topic but had a hire car (chevy) in the US for 2 weeks in Aug. Used AA daily same phone and cable worked flawlessly every time. Got home started it up in my 22my pre fl 5 ... crashed before I got out of the T4 Heathrow long stay carpark!

We switched to Octopus earlier this year once the smart meter was integrated to thier system (less than 2 weeks) we went onto Agile.

The Tomtom app is my preferred sat nav for Android auto. It costs £12.99/yr but maps are offline and I think its better guidance visually than Google maps. Just got back from the 🇺🇸 where it paid for itself in saved roaming data charges. Even if you save a offline line map in Google you still...

Sensor used by the HVAC control the cabin temperature.

Yes but the powerline adapter injects a signal into the main cables that upsets the car. Turn off the power line system and retry

Applegreen 175kw chargers at South Mimms services gave me 85kw on a 22 pre face-lift on Monday.

Tested that out last year. At a motorcycle show flattened the bikes battery charging the phone. AA on site supporting members and selling membership. Asked if they give me a jump, pointing out the cover the mg5 affords me. No dice unless I joined as a individual member. Managed to get a jump...

Our roof faces south-south-east so output tails off from mid afternoon. A modest battery ~5Kwh to cover the peak 4pm to 8pm (Agile Octopus) would average the import cost down to below what we get back from export most of the time. What I like about the zappi is the automated management of the...
