Nice solution. Our boot is mostly taken up with the spacesaver wheel I bought which is in its cardboard box.

New MG burial scheme? Put a brick on the accelerator to get the car driving down a slipway with the deceased strapped in. Problem is what if the previous person's MG4 is down there in the way?

Thanks for sharing with so much detail. We have a dog on the back seat who is always moving around and is not shaped like a human so triggers the sensors unless they are plugged in. Our solution is just to leave them plugged in and that works great.

Our Givenergy Unit hasn't been through that scenario, but I'm fairly confident it would come back on. Downside is that Giv and Octopus never got it working with Intelligent GO so can't get the best tariff.

I think Sleeper trains are the answer. Go to sleep on one side of the continent and wake up on the other. Went from Brussels to Wien that way. The bottlenecks are: 1. There aren't enough of the trains as they are quite specialist carriages. 2. Often track work is done overnight so they can't...

Nice try!

Plus digging it out of the ground gets harder and harder each year as the easier stuff gets used up. Then there is the huge amount of energy and emissions involved in the oil refining process. And the petrol/gas stations. These are all massive installations but they get rendered invisible...

In general, not having a car is by far the more environmentally friendly option. Two wheelers (or public transport) is much better. But if it is EV vs. ICE car there is no comparison. The environmental benefits of EVs over ICE cars are very substantial, though perhaps you are pointing to the...

Or a longer-range EV? I guess those might not be cheap to hire, though!

Nice one! Have a dog helps getting you walking. Ours gets a 2 mile walk twice a day. Often I do both, but sometimes Pebbles does them both if I'm out.

Yes its disappointing that the MG4 looks like it would be aerodynamic but doesn't perform any better than rivals and in many cases seems to be worse. Same drag as the MGS5. The Kia EV3, Skoda Enyaq and Cupra Tavascan are lower drag coefficient despite being SUVs.

I think Nicola from Electrifying is the best reviewer. She is mad as a box of frogs and twice as fun. Miles is good fun too - looking forward to watching this. After seeing the first few seconds he seems to be freezing cold!

I once saw a video of a guy in the states who added a DIY replacement battery pack to a Prius. The cells were better quality so it ended up having more electric range than the original batteries, which had got heavily degraded through heavy cycling. I know you are very capable of these...

Sounds like chaos! OK, I'll allow up to three.

I've set up a poll as mentioned! https://www.mgevs.com/threads/poll-why-did-you-go-ev.25026/ A few more options than the last time, so more potential for nuance. Hopefully it won't go downhill in the comments like the last one did!
