Maybe you drive extremely efficiently?

That is really rubbish, sorry to hear that. I'm no expert on these situations, but can they be sure that this is not an MG manufacturing fault if they don't open it up? I don't see why you should have to pay for an investigation to see if something is a warranty claim but I'm probably...

My worry about the Ohme is that they might start charging you for the mobile connection in the future, or might fall out with the mobile provider. Having the mobile connection is handy if your charger is a long way from your router and has bad Wi-Fi. Otherwise I would get the Zappi (or Hypervolt).

To be fair the rate they are announcing new models he might be on the same trajectory as MG!

I did see this video a few days ago...

Are you still XPowering? Those wheels don't look very XPowery but maybe it is different now.

Was it via a plug (not legal in the UK as far as I'm aware) or did they get an electrician to connect it directly into the ring circuit?

It is more complicated for the UK because of our electrical systems and plugs but others will know more about the details. Yeah, I've been tempted to add more battery or solar just to help in the winter though it is probably not the best economically. Once you've got a reasonable amount getting...

I do like a bluey-green colour. Don't ask me which side of the line it is!

Hope it proves to be an easy fix. The problem with all these sensors in cars these days is that when one goes the car doesn't work properly until it is replaced. Sensors gradually fail over time for one reason or another so there will be more and more of this kind of thing. Not an EV-specific...

Really like that colour. Enjoy!

Yeah hopefully less of an issue, but I suppose it will happen at some point once the batteries get very old. Hoping for 15 years but very high milage cars might have it earlier [edit - if NMC chemistry].

I don't think we need too much mystery on here!

Tough with trucks. CCS would be useful so they can use the same charging infrastructure as cars. But then higher charging speeds would be handy given the huge batteries involved. But that would need different connectors (MCS?) and a lot of cooling of the cables making them unwieldy. With...

Bjorn seems to think that degraded cells suffer from poor (higher?) internal resistance which heats them up more during use. I'm assuming that a badly degraded cell/module heats up much more than 30 degrees under use. Luckily our MG batteries (like all cars other than the early EVs) are much...
