I'm also with Nationwide but haven't had this.
No doubt doing their due diligence for security or other reasons.
Sadly fraud is a thing.
The joys of bureaucracy and the application of policy.
Rules always have these ridiculous consequences.
The alternative is to leave it up to...
I don't think it is just the safety features, though.
Cars have all sorts of electronics and sensors now. I'm sure they are all useful for one reason or another, but it will mean more and more repairs and replacements when they go wrong.
I'd be more worried about what is lurking under the water than immediate electrical damage.
But the electrical side would be a slight worry also, for reasons Everest notes. The water technically shouldn't get in the battery but if it does due to a badly inserted lug then you're stuffed...
Is it 1500V? In which case does higher volts but reasonable amps that mean less strain?
I assume that is their thinking at least. BYD are a battery company and offer warranties so I expect they are confident.
Had an email from Everything electric that they will debuting the MG9 PHEV.
I wouldn't have thought that PHEVs would be that popular at electric car events, but I suppose MG know what they are doing.
You should be able to find discount codes online. The best one I've seen is JHTEE20 from this...

I used to listen to Kermode and Mayo film podcast which had a good listener community and in-jokes but I don't find time for it any more and I hardly ever watch films any more so it doesn't seem so useful.
I listen to a lot of...
You've made me review my list and I see I mostly follow EV related channels even though I'm happy with our MG4 and was planning for it to be our very long term car.
But I also follow quite a lot of climate and energy transition stuff:
Climate town (the funniest channel I've seen, even though...
It is certainly a transition with all that accompanies such a thing.
Australia should be one of the easiest to transition because of all the solar and wind potential and the low population density, as you say.
The countries with a lot of hydro or geothermal like Norway and Iceland are...
I would interpret this as being like the Octopus rule.
You have to have at least one of them. If neither car nor charger is compatible then you can't have the tariff.
If you've got a compatible EVSE you'll be fine.
No, our EVSE hasn't been integrated with any of the smart tariffs as yet.
