Yeah, the stereotype is that women tend to prefer EVs more than men because men like the "macho" noise and grease and fumes and things. On the other hand some men are really into getting the latest 'tech' and stuff so tend to be into EVs for that reason. Pebbles wasn't really interested in...

It sounds like the decision has been made, but I note that Bjorn has bought a second hand ZS in Thailand recently. I think it is for his Thai relatives, or for when they stay there. Don't know if this would make your wife feel more comfortable about it or not, but it is his second one which is...

You can now get the Contact C in the UK. I saw it available when getting our last tyre to replace an original with a nail in it. https://www.continental-tyres.co.uk/products/car/tyres/premiumcontact-c/

Makes sense... Smaller car = lighter and more aerodynamic = longer range. 56kWh is a sensible battery size. Enough to make a long journey viable but not carrying around excess weight all the time. Maybe they were waiting for battery costs to come down enough that it wouldn't have to be...

We previously bought two Seat Ibizas and so if the Raval had been out several years ago there is a fair chance we would have got that instead of the MG4. VW have been far too slow, but great that they are getting there.

Welcome to the future! (and this helpful forum) Some good advice already. We got the 7kW EV charger (though wish we had got a Hypervolt one to qualify for Intelligent Oct Go) because it will be something that all houses need in the future. Plus it means you've got the option to do a full...

Another reason to get a European car, then. Renault, VW Group or the new Nissan leaf (battery and car assembled in Sun'land).

Very stoical of you. Why worry about things you can't change? You are in the capable hands of the NHS now. I can understand that.

Sorry to hear that, mate. Good luck with the treatment Good advice! And to you and yours, hopefully possible despite your news.

Bargains to be had for used EVs as new models come out constantly. Will cost peanuts to run it if you can charge at home. No idea about the ZS specifically but good luck with your search!

Yeah, for the last 18 months or so in the UK it has been better to charge on cheap overnight tariff and export the solar during the day. That will probably end in a few years and we will go back to self-consumption. If you don't have the generous export tariff then I guess you will be trying...

I've used the type 2 much more than the granny charger (which I only used as a test before we got our wall unit fitted). Mostly used at cottages on holidays. (though perhaps the owner of the cottage could have lent us one if I had asked). The other place I use it is in the local town centre...

Others can confirm but my understanding is that if it is a UK SE it won't have three phase charging. Some early trophies had this.

Price is based on supply and demand. If MG want to have a limited edition product they have to keep them back. But they want to sell more cars, so they are importing them even if there isn't demand. These deals destroy the competition, who have to drop their prices (make a loss) or sell...
