Your best indicator of performance is the miles/kWh. 2.5, not so good, 3.5 average, anything over 3.5 is good.

I have just received an email from BG this afternoon (21.11.25) to say my account will be set up on 18.11.25. Only 3 days late. And apparently that's not the switch over . . . just the account going live.

Yep, perfectly normal. It's just a guess based on previous driving conditions.

I suppose the alternative is to make all the motorways toll roads.

Was the Vauxhall dealer Drive by any chance?

Hi Jef4man4 and welcome to the forum. I think what this is, is a fob off by rhe dealer who doesn't know what he's talking about. Are there any other dealers nearby? You'd be surprised at the variation of service supplied by different franchises.

Oh, and still no response from BG, not even an automated one. 4 days and counting.

I had an email asking for the final reading. Whilst I was flipping through the menus on the meter, I noticed that BG is now showing as the supplier.

I've had a reply from Good Energy: We've come across an issue with your switch to us. We're really sorry about this. It looks as though you have a switch to another supplier that hasn't been completed yet. This switch needs to be finished before we can move your supply to Good Energy...

Does that mean it's a data salad? :LOL:

Mind you, having experienced some of the MG sortware glitches, I'm not sure I'd want them to update it over the air. If it cocks up in the dealership, at least they can correct it. If it cocks up OTA then you've got a brick sitting on your driveway.

Will do. :) I've also emailed the Ofgem information to Good Energy, explaining that I have asked British Gas to remove the objection so that they can continue.

I have just sent this reply to the BG email. "Hello, Thank you for your email. From the Ofgem website: What happens if your energy supplier goes bust When your new supplier contacts you Ask your new supplier to put you on their cheapest tariff, or shop around and switch if you want to. You...

Mine has been blocked too, although it did give me the oppertunity to look at Good Energy which do a really good EV tariff. They are waiting until the objection is lifted.

Ofgen say as soon as you are contacted by the SOLR you can look for your own provider. Tomato bill was paid this morning, application to Eon Next Drive made soon after. :LOL:
