My phone doesn't charge wirelessly anyway & I have 2 USB C cables poking up through the mat, 1 for charging only & the other for AA or AC. Wireless charging is quite slow anyway.

The AU version has light, dark & 100 years themes. I use the 100 years theme. The maximum charge can be set to pretty much any %. 80% & under states 'Health Mode & 90-100% states long journey mode. Also I agree with decrep. Sometimes when I have the car connected to the 7kW EVSE & it is set for...

That's what I do except I don't lock the car is it is in my locked garage. I don't have any software to charge from excess solar so if the battery is down and it is a sunny day I just use iSmart to start the charge a bit earlier sometimes at 20 amps & then up to 32 amps when solar energy is...

The latest Powershop EV day plan still shows a shoulder tariff. Even if the wholesaler doesn't have a shoulder rate what is to stop the retailer having one when the smart meter uploads are done every half hour. The supply charge has now gone up to 222.91 cents/day from 187.00 cent/day. Retail...

My rates for the just renegotiated EV Day plan are the same but I don't have controlled load. Supply charge though is $1.87/day & I still get the 0.014 FIT. Peak is only 5-8pm Mon-Fri. Shoulder & off peak are the same. There is discussion among the retailers of actually charging for feed in...

Never been below 5% but the car has never reduced power or made any comment other that the standard message at 20% & 10%. The 2.3% buffer from the so called 61.7% usable to dead empty probably gives a bit of crawl distance. I haven't been game to try it though.

There is a specified list for the 2 year & 4 year service. It used to be on the MG website but you can ask for it when you book the car in. It also includes all software updates but most of the service is checking things. Mine is due in early September & I will be getting them to rotate the...

All the sources I have checked say the percentage is 20.9 but even if it was 19%, an extra 1.9% is hardly likely to give you a big energy boost.

A forum friend on another site lives in China and has been there for over 15 years. He rarely posts stuff now as every time he mentions how he can get things done so easily there etc he is jumped on by a bunch of others who seem to believe everything that the politicians tell us. The human...

260 kPa in Winter when tyres are quite cold will keep the TPMS happy. When it warms up in Spring just return to 250 kPa. I check mine every month or 2, there is no set routine. If I forget the TPMS will remind me.

Interesting. The air is 78% Nitrogen & 21% oxygen so it must be oxygen or the other 1% of other gasses that permeates through the tyre wall or valve. That said the pressures stay at their set level for a long time & it is usually only with changes in the ambient temperature that eventually...

Yes that is a major bulge. Hitting some standing water at speed and the undertray could easily be ripped right off as has happened to members of this forum.

I just looked at the Essential Energy supply charge for residential connections BLNRSS2 ToU Sunsoaker & it is $1.3776/day plus GST so $1.5154/day from 1 July 25 so the retailer margin is added to that. Where did you get $2.7791 from?

Powershop have told me the EV day plan I am on is changing on 1 July in line with the electricity price increases everywhere. The big shock is the supply charge that is going from $1.10 a day to $2.2291 a day. That is $69.10 in a 31 day month without using any electricity at all just to be...

The right rear on mine is the same. Our cars were sold only a few days apart as far as I know and from the same shipment. I wondered if it was the TPM itself but a check with my very accurate analogue gauge confirmed it loses pressure faster than the others. I have a twin piston high speed pump...
