I hadn’t seen this and was alerted to it today by this. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/electric-vehicles/#need-10 I’ve just done mine. It wasn’t due to expire until end of June, but from my understanding I’ve saved more than £100?

I tried to charge at two BP pulse chargers recently in Lewes and Littlehampton. Neither would charge my Trophy. The other, non-BP chargers in the area that I used worked just fine straight away. As did those on route and at home. I have read of BP Pulse/MG issues and experienced them. I've...

Thanks. At both sites and multiple times, I followed the instructions to the letter. On both outlets on each charger. Yes, it is not a huge sample-size, but that the car charged immediately at a non-BP charger—Evyve—ten mins later and then again at an Instavolt further into the journey and then...

Here in Feb 2024. I can report that BP Pulse Chargers in Lewes and near Littlehampton would not charge my mk1 Trophy. Not via the bp app or with my debit card. Both sides off both chargers report “an error setting up the charge “. Support line rebooted one of the chargers. No effect. The charger...

I got warned a few months back by the car - on screen graphic. When I was about to drive with it open. But since then I have left it open and driven and it hasn't warned me. So, some reliable inconsistency.

The Pumpkin. Because that’s what the orange reminds me of.

I've not missed having a rear wiper. Had one on my Prius and basically forgot it was there because I never used it. I did used to drive HGV's so do use my side mirrors a lot. I do use the rear-view mirror and haven't experienced any visibility issue due to lack of a wiper ... it is a smaller...

I’d like to try it. Having said that, I descended the Kirkstone Pass to Ulswater recently, I didn’t have to touch the brake pedal once. Thought I was hovering over it just in case. i quite like the regenerative braking as it is on eco but, yes, I don’t know what I am missing from one-pedal driving.

What’s the standing charge? And which octopus tariff?

Maybe check the integrity of the wiring in the washer plug and its cable. And or it may have some kind of issue that the car thinks is a faulty circuit? Don’t know, but I’d imagine something like that. Or it just doesn’t like domestic chores 🤡

Where can earthed barge pole? 🤡 And fair point.

Got a link to the one you have?

The water proof version of this at 5m length is £192 https://evcables.com/products/mg-vehicle-to-load-v2l-discharge-cable?_pos=1&_sid=af08de547&_ss=r&variant=43525418090746 Pretty sure one could source the cable and the weather resistant socket. Do anyone know if the type-2 end that plugs into...

I’ve been lurking on this thread for sometime. My v1 trophy has no obvious software issues so am thinking if it ain’t broke don’t fix it etc. I looked yesterday and it is on R33. Would anyone who has updated from that to R46 say there is a noticeable benefit or the opposite?

A couple of related observations or questions: With the NMC, when changing to 80 percent and leaving to the car to stop the charge as it it is set to “health mode”, I notice the charge it draws slows to low wattage and stays at that for an hour or more before it stops the session. Is this...
