Very useful in theory. No use at all in practice. Maybe it will improve over time?

I don't mind the car or the colour. Doesn't look as good as the existing MG4 but I think that style is going more towards blobby cars, especially in China. Maybe China will lead the way, design-wise, now rather than the US. Renault and Hyundai have been good on design lately, but very...

Is that a typo? :ROFLMAO:

I wouldn't rule it out but I'd use the lack of warranty to negotiate a better price. The fact the manufacturer was willing to give the warranty is a bit of reassurance that MG/SAIC thought that the parts would last that long. That isn't a huge milage for such a large battery so I wouldn't...

Miles Roberts put the insurance codes you need for the IM5 in an IM6 post. You can get the codes from there and contact an insurance broker with them. Copying them here for ease of reference: ABI code; 33701391 - Description; IM5 75 Standard range ABI code; 33701392 - Description; IM5 100...

SAIC is part of the Chinese state. They can't go bankrupt. The state could pull the plug I suppose, like the UK did for British Leyland, but it is helping with Chinese exports. At a certain point China just froze their central economic plan (with government enterprises like SAIC) and allowed...

I don't recognise 'atedugt phamagn' Can I check if you are talking about: discharging from the car (V2L) Charging the car on an AC charger Charging the car on a DC (rapid) charger

Only watched match of the day myself. It was pretty rubbish (as a Forest fan).

Good term! I wasn't aware that there were two levels of pressure for hydrogen and you really need the higher one for trucks (but the few filling stations there are operate at the lower pressure). I expect that the issues with hydrogen can be resolved, but will all that expense be worth it...

Thanks for the reminder that EVs can work for those without home charging, using discounts.

Indeed. Lots of new chemistries, meaning that each use case can have its own optimal chemistry. I'm sceptical of H2 claims. It is beloved by the fossil fuel industry (who currently make all the hydrogen in a very polluting manner) as a way to disparage batteries and heat pumps with something...

I expect the RFID card is useful in case your card/phone don't work and there is no mobile signal. Plus they often give a small discount and sometimes larger discounts (Plunge pricing). Electroverse would work on a lot more places/providers (including Ionity) so I would get that one...

Great - welcome to the forum! Fair enough. Quite a competitive sector but go with what looks like a good deal when you make the choice. I would have expected that it would be UV protective glass, just like I thought that other car windows are supposed to be. Though looking it up apparently...

1) I'd probably look for somewhere to charge at the destination if the car can make it in one go. 2) If you were going down the M23 and wanted an easy option you could top up at the Gridserve at Gatwick or Pease Pottage services. Not the cheapest, though. 3) Look it up on ABRB, see what the...

I've been quoted £4k for 5 panels with optimizers on the garage and a simple inverter. (We already have hybrid inverter and battery for the roof solar.) Would need a new consumer unit for it though. The labour is getting to be the expensive thing, rather than the equipment. Perhaps...
