I find this discussion of what you can get out of the battery very interesting. I usually charge my car to 90% and then potter about the Isle of Wight. Invariably I find that I can drive more than 60 miles as the battery level drops to 70% - using up 20% of the battery, even in the cold(er)...

Thank you all for your responses. As I suspected, nothing is simple. The likelihood of me using PodPoint again on my travels is very remote, so I think I will give it a miss. I don't want to have to preload money to an account and then not use it all. I will visit Banbury and top up there with...

Thank you. I will have to download it and presumably set up an account before I go.

I cannot get any sense out of ZapMap or Podpoint, which owns the 44 chargers at Heythrop Manor Hotel (Warners) near Enstone in Oxfordshire. I am contemplating staying there for a few days later in the year. Does anyone know whether I HAVE to have the PodPoint app (which I don't particularly want...

Utterly brilliant. Freddy would be so proud of this performance.

I might try this tomorrow if it isn't raining - or too cold....!

You wouldn't like to come and do mine would you.........:(.? Try as I might I can't get either of the jets to line up where I want them, and the dealership doesn't seem able to either judging from their attempt at its first service.

I regularly see a Blue MG4 SE going the other way early morning when I am on my way to golf in my Trophy, and often several others on the route, plus an Orange Xpower belonging to the chef at a local pub, not to mention at least 4 5's running round the Island as taxis.

Interesting. Today we have a heavy frost, so possibly a good time to do a little experiment......

Could be just cold weather... the tyre pressure monitor on my Mg4 Trophy occasionally says that pressures are too low in the early morning when we have a sharp frost (scraping ice off the winsdscreen weather). I normally set my tyre pressures to 37psi, (255kPA) and in warmer weather this is...

I fixed a £10 cycle light from Halfords to the passenger side grab handle. Works a treat.

crap golf round!!!!! excellent salad lunch sorted the shed time for tea

That all sounds just what I need to know. Thank you. I shall continue with my plans for a visit I think.

I will have a look, but as I charge at home at the moment I have little idea of what is out there. Watch this space. Edit. There is not a lot in the Ventnor area, but nowhere is very far on the Isle of Wight. The ones at the Botanic gardens in Ventnor are not working as far as I know. Morrisons...

I have the Tesla app on my phone and have set up an account, but at the moment, when I try to sign in the app simply repeatedly returns me to the sign in page. As you can see, I live on the Isle of Wight and unfortunately there are no Tesla chargers over here, so I am restricted to try them on...
