Yes, they come on when regen is c.7 or above on the regen dial. Some EV's are very annoying to follow if you do a lot of miles like me with the MG4 being particularly annoying as they are forever "braking", when not really braking the driver has just taken foot off accelerator a little too far.

Their talking out of their backsides. If this was the case, then how would much colder countries survive with EVs. In Norway 97% of cars sold are now EVs, yet temperatures over there in the Northern areas can get as low as -30°C with the average temp in winter being -10°C. Edit: Only thing I...

I get a dull thump if the car tries braking at slower speed and I override it by pressing accelerator pedal.

Is this a grrrr and then a loud metallic clunk sound?

It’s hardly a DC desert out there anymore though, yes, you might need to suck up the disgusting prices from a manky BP Polar charger or a random Podpoint DC. However, I think most would be hard pushed in the bulk of England to fluff up so bad in 2025 and run out of charge if they pay attention...

I’d rather keep a 3pin in car for an emergency than a type 2. Plan better and unless you live in the middle of nowhere with an unexpected detour you shouldn’t get in to the issue you describe.

Unless you’ve got some decent priced charging posts close by it’ll likely make more sense just to rapid charge. If you have Tesla chargers close they are cheapest, followed by Arnold Clark via Octopus Electroverse.

Same as Clive said you get used to knowing what miles per kWh mean for real world scenarios pretty quickly. Although, I suppose it depends on what situation you’re in, if you’re down to 20% you need to be actively reviewing your options, by 10% and you want to be ensuring you're close to a...

The first question is do you actually need one? The only time I used mine was when Podpointa were free (many years ago).

My data occasionally runs out towards end of the month by using just the map features. Never used hotspot or similar, but do quite a few miles per month. When it’s run out I’ve been doing c.2500 miles in a month.

It doesn’t make a difference to credit file, however could make the current lender not want to lend to you again though.

Just checked on my car (with window open to test internal handles). It's supposedly on software version R67: Physical Key - Deadlocked enabled Bluetooth Key - Deadlock not enabled Remote Key - Deadlock not enabled I don't think the deadbolt functionality will affect insurance as i can't see a...

It’ll be the deadlocks, usually a remote lock doesn’t activate them to prevent you locking people in the car unintentionally.

To be honest your opinion isn’t worth anything as you’re more interested in insulting than fixing, or constructive feedback. I don’t like my MG4 that much, and as a result will probably take a £2000 hit next year to end my lease early. Yet, the car isn’t a total shambles, and you’re doing...

If it’s in negative equity why not just give it back when the PCP is up? You can voluntarily terminate a PCP agreement when half the balance is paid up which dependent on how you structured the finance could be around now. Are you saying you can’t afford car and that’s why you are wanting to...
