I've put my name down on the waiting list and Octopus estimate it'll be 6 months before I will get onto Tracker which is just in time for Winter, after my Go Faster tariff finished! My advice, for anyone thinking about it, is to get your name down now! Tracker is a 'flexible' tariff so if you...

Hi bighorn - I have both and I'm with Octopus Go Faster (an EV Tariff)! My tariff has been discontinued but Octopus Go is still available but it obviously depends on your usage and how much you can 'shift' to use during off peak hours as to whether Octopus Agile, Octopus Tracker or Intelligent...

Hi Eddie - it took you 17 mins to reply! I had been waiting online for you! :ROFLMAO: All's good - hope the same with you and Archie? We'll have to get all the Scottish members together again near Hogmanay time. And this time, we'll definitely need a hot drink! Cheers Bloggsy

Thanks RHA but you haven't met Eddie (@Edoc16) and Archie (@Archev) who gave pelters when I turned up to a 'meet' in my car (I did a detour on the way to taking my daughter into Uni so had to use my car as it has a longer range) :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: ;) Cheers Bloggsy

Hi RHA - at the risk of getting a bit of stick from other members, here's some photo's, as requested. As you can see, my main car isn't an MG - the ZS EV is the wife's car and I've been told I'm not allowed to do anything, other than drive it when she doesn't need it! ;) I've removed the...

Hi TootBeep - I've changed the colour of the badges on my current car and 2 previous cars using "Plastidip" which is a spray paint that dries into a sort of rubberised finish. If you search on YouTube, you'll find plenty of tutorials and you can either get the can of spray paint direct from...

Thanks very much ianfm - it's a good idea and very generous of you to share. It will save my fingers and toes from being counted! :ROFLMAO: Any chance of making this as a downloadable 'app' or something which I can save on my phone and use without connecting to the internet, please? Cheers...

Ahhhh! Thanks Gomev - that will come in useful the next time I have to use Bonnet :) Many thanks. Cheers Bloggsy

I used the Ionity chargers at Alnwick a wee while ago and the codes I had for the Bonnet app didn't work but found my Octopus Juice card did. Although I got a slightly cheaper rate, it was still very expensive but I got a very fast charging speed and lunch at the nearby hotel (apologies but I...

Thanks Rich TC - it worked for me and I've got it in my wallet! Cheers Bloggsy

Hi jaykew - I've got a PodPoint Solo which I got installed 18 months ago but I use the app and that provides me with the ability to schedule charging and has, with an exception of a day, has worked flawlessly. Does yours not do the same with the app? Cheers Bloggsy

Okay - a bit more out of the way than what I'm used to! However @Archev and @Edoc16 both travel far and wide, and are very obliging so could maybe recommend chargers to use and one's to avoid for your next trip? Cheers Bloggsy

Ha ha! You're right Archie - I had to check after you've mentioned this. It's Drive Energy and not Ionity. Sorry folks! Cheers Bloggsy

Hi Chris - good job on your trip! Where are you going in Scotland, if you don't mind me asking? The other Scottish members and I could let you know where the newer charging hubs are which. might assist with you getting charged a bit smoother. For example, there's a charging hub in a small...

Thanks Nutnut - you can always take a trip up to Stirling?! :LOL: I'd even buy you a coffee if you do decide to take a trip up North. Cheers Bloggsy
