    I gave up!

    Unfortunately, in my experience, most people would sacrifice a few miles/kwh or mpg for something that looks good. Check out all those folk that drive 4wd gas guzzlers that will never need 4wd in their driving life! People should care but......

    Agree with you Stuart re charging infrastructure. However, I don't believe all cars will end up teardrop shaped for the lowest possible drag co-efficient. More likely battery technology will (is!) improve(ing) and car shape will become less important.

    Tesla charging.

    Agree. The key to this is not to be dependent on a Tesla charger. Have a backup non-Tesla option just in case.

    This should get interesting fast

    The car is more than capable.....is the charging infrastructure up to the job? Watching with interest.

    GeniePoint GenieFlex Hike

    The Geniepoint charger at my local Morrisons is never in use.

    Charging in Edinburgh

    No reduction. The price you pay is determined by the charger owner (mostly local authorities). No discount dependent on use of app or rfid. CPS just does the admin for the owners.

    Charging in Edinburgh

    Had mine for nearly 3 years, still works fine, and I am not aware it needs replacing at any point. Easy to use and probably required for those areas you are travelling to.

    Which version of Android OS are you using?

    Toyota Yaris

    My advice to ICE drivers is to keep with ICE.....stay away from EV charging stations and leave them for me! ;)

    MG ZS Ev (2020) Charging point / Android auto not working

    I find that my phone has to be "live" (can't think of a better word!) prior to plugging in. In other words showing the main screen. Not blank or a screensaver. Only when Android Auto is up and running does the Android Auto button on the car main screen work.

    Octopus Go prices rising - again

    Depends how the profit is made. Increasing charges when the customer has no option but to pay them seems a little dodgy to me.

    Octopus Go prices rising - again

    OK, I do live in a rural area. However, it's not at all transparent how this charge is calculated and I wonder if it would differ if I moved supplier? The old cynic in me suggests it's quite a nice way for the supplier to profiteer.

    Octopus Go prices rising - again

    So, how do Octopus justify the DSC being different for different customers? Mine will be going up to 60p.
