Not to mention of course that the day has an T in it, you are wearing a woolly hat and wellies and it's between 2 and 3pm. :)

It still takes the same amount of energy to heat a set amount of water whether you draw 1kW or more. It just takes longer. So lower draw is useful if the output is restricted, but it does not actually save anything.

I had exactly that the other week coming home to Leeds down the A1M after a day out to Alnwick and area. As I was anticipating being really low on charge at the end (and not wanting to spend money on a splash and dash) I moderated my speed to 'lorry speed' and kept catching up with the same cars...

In my experience with the PFL it is slow to communicate and have heard of timing out before. Maybe this is the same with the FL. I always put the cable in first in the theoretical attempt to give it the longest time, before doing the charger stuff and this always worked for me. As others have...

Quite an amusing video describing how little difference going really fast (70+) compared to say 60 makes when travelling. Possibly quite relevant to an EV which gets decidedly less efficient at higher speeds. Play at full size if possible for better viewing

I'm sure I remember examples on here of cars recovered longer distances. e.g. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/car-theft.14415/post-243578

I totally understand. Based on my experience as I never sat in the car waiting when rapid charging it wouldn't make too much difference, just have to get the missus out of the car first. :D So maybe think of it that way and it won't irritate as much. I always like to plan a stop as a break...

An expensive way to get cheap electricity.

If the cover is the same as the UK it should cover on recovery to any destination. Click on the underlined here word on the page. https://www.mg.co.uk/roadside-assistance The mg.ie version of the website doesn't have this link but has the same overall wording in the description.

Although I inevitably did lock the car when rapid charging, this was always after the charge started. (start charge, check it's working, missus gets out, lock car, go for coffee/sausage roll/stretch legs). So is this a recent update problem as I never had to lock the car to initiate a charge on...

I think there is still a discount with Gridserve when using the app. Price contactless 85p/kWh but 79p using the app.

Doesn't solve the problem but looks good ! :)

That's the astronomical spring, equinox to equinox, but there is also the meteorological spring which is March, April and May. :)

Yes you are correct. Sorry for the mis-lead there. Maybe not as hopeful as first thought :(

With Instavolt and Be.EV reducing prices to 65p/kWh and also doing off-peak rates is this the start of a trend ? It would be nice to think so. Will others follow suit ? Instavolt 65p/kWh (and 54p off-peak 8pm-7am via app or Instavolt RFID only) Be.EV 65p/kWh (and off-peak 55p 9pm-7am via app...
