Can that be combined with the cooling mechanism in some way?

If I'm listening to something on my phone (I use castbox for podcasts, audible for audiobooks and VLC player for music) then these apps switch to playing over the car speakers once it it connected. I think the car might be able to play files on a USB drive, and there are threads about doing...

If you connect using Bluetooth/android auto/apple car play will this not play via an app on your phone? I play podcasts that are on my podcast app without an issue.

The trendy lecturers got in much earlier ;)

There was a grey '25 Trophy in my work car park when I left mid-afternoon on Thursday. Exams were just starting in the building when I left so maybe it was a (very wealthy) student. Oxford University, so it is possible.

just choose any random letters and numbers and it will make just as much sense.

The thing is that new EVs are coming out, but they are much more expensive than the MG4. Plus there are bigger discounts as it isn't a new model any more and SAIC are churning them out. You can get a pre-registered 25 reg MG4 SE for £17,495 right now on autotrader. £20k for a trophy. Hard to...

1,000-volt architecture apparently.

Dave B. has asked exactly that question...

And Ford with their MEBs. Though the ID7 is allegedly a step up for them. Hopefully the long-awaited ID2 will do the job and give some competition to BYD and Renault.

I think I've got to the bottom of this. The two new cars DO offer 'dual gun' so you can plug in on both sides to get higher speeds. However, this is just for where there is no megawatt charger but two 250kws... "In order to maximize charging speeds for the times when a full-blown Megawatt...

Oh yes, Polestar, Renault and BMW! Plenty of choice these days isn't there!

Aren't BYD using 2 separate ports to achieve the MW? So you take up two chargers, if there are two available. There are meatier truck chargers being developed that would do a MW or more. Needs serious cooling though.

Good point, I don't tend to look at the premium brands because they are mad prices new. However, you do see some used Mercs, Audis and Genesis that with quite reasonable sounding prices, after the huge depreciation. Presumably they are good quality.
