    Anyone else have the Givenergy EVSE?

    Yeah, sorry I added some general comments just to confirm that the above information was in an announcement about all that as well. The inverter/battery stuff will probably be relevant to many more people. I doubt many people got the EV charger unless they had the solar equipment, and many...

    Anyone else have the Givenergy EVSE?

    Update from "Givenergy software" (spun off from the rest of the business) I have heard that the GivEnergy EV Charger (EVC) won't function if it can't connect to the GivEnergy servers. How can I ensure it continues to work? There is currently no expectation of the EVC servers going offline...

    Advice Needed Please

    Is the GMW Ora Cat in the right size range? It seems to be between the ID2 and ID3 size-wise. Doesn't have the fastest charging speed or efficiency but otherwise seems ok and great deals out there for them.

    Advice Needed Please

    My parents had a hire car jeep on holiday (hybrid) and liked it. I know Stellantis have been pretty poor at EVs with their many-fuel-chassis approach, but the little jeep seemed to get a good write-up and I've seen good prices from Southampton Jeep.

    Making the jump to solar

    That's fair enough, TBH. A relative of mine said that Chinese cars aren't really allowed into his security-sensitive workplace.

    Take it you've found a deal on it! Fingers crossed its a good one. Possibly someone got to the end of a three year deal.

    Making the jump to solar

    If it was me I'd ask for a deal on a double order! Economies of scale, especially on the scaffolding.

    Making the jump to solar

    Your Mum isn't making you both get solar at the same time so it's "fair"? Might get some scaffolding labour cost savings!

    Energy efficiency in ACC?

    Apologies, I was thinking of our MG4.

    Energy efficiency in ACC?

    If you go down a steep hill on ACC it will go negative. If you can be accurate enough with the throttle the mode shouldn't make a massive difference.

    Making the jump to solar

    Our solar install included scaffolding that went around and over our back pergola. Can't remember if they put the poles on an angle or cheekily put a few poles in next door's garden without asking anyone, but either way they made it work. Harder to do that with a conservatory I realise because...

    Your Next Car?

    That's a good shout, particularly if you need a bit more space than the MG4. The LEAF is surprisingly efficient and aerodynamic. Plus its made in Britain with a plant running mostly on wind and gas powered electricity rather than Chinese coal (plus wind and solar). Personally I'd still...

    Home charger advice please

    Depends on when you signed up for the tariff as well as your region. New tariff pricing is not as good as the same tariff signed up for several months ago.

    Australian 2026 MG4 models announced

    Just drive it back. Massive water wings and a bulletproof shield for when you go through Afghanistan/Iran/Russia/Ukraine.

    EV Chargers

    I'd go for Hypervolt. But if she likes the Ohme one, would she like the Octopus one? I think it might be more similar.
