Firstly, zap map won't really help you in Europe, I suggest chargemap Secondly, as someone pointed out on here, try the elecroverse app, had a quick look and it seems to work in europe

Hi I've just had a 4kw plus 5.2kw battery fitted last month costing £8k We've had 2 EVs for 5 years, doing about 12k miles between us. We were previously on Octopus Go Faster which gave 5hrs off peak (no longer available) which meant that we split 50/50 our 4400kw usage (we did car and...

Yes I know the principal which is why most divert excess power at the 95% level. At work we have laptops to work out of the office, but when in the office they are ugged into hubs that continue to charge... Its known it reduces the life of the battery for sure, but that's the set up

My wife bought a pre face lift MG5 LR in Dec (I own a 70 plate) When I set off I always flick the kers/mode to econ & k3, on mine it just says cannot do 3 on 100% (waited to 95%) and off I go. When I did this on my wife's it registered as 3! Took car into dealer and was with them for 2wks...

I think it was Genie that email me this week to say they are increasing to 98p kW!!!

Depending on the weather at moment its likely 204-214 for balance, don't discount if its 213!

I wouldn't worry about it, ive got a 70 plate and top up where I can in short bursts (2hrs here & there) but when I charge overnight I leave it to 100%. This happens around every 3 weeks when it's dropped to around 20%. I will keep the car for max 10yrs, after that it's not my problem. Anyone...

True, but I never changed my tyres on my leaf and 2 years in on my MG5, he must be in it for the long run. Then again, given his age, my money is on my tyres lol

I've put Nitrogen in my tyres for years, first on my leaf and then my MG5. The theory goes it saves you money in ICE cars, though the rational (reduced weight of fuel) doesn't hold up in an EV obviously. But for me I know the importance of having the correct pressure in tyres so Nitrogen scores...

Until Elon bought Twitter I would have jumped at buying a tesla (preceeding the necessary lotto win of course). But his twitter folly, I couldn't buy one knowing his views on his workers. That's my moral stand, however I do recognise the many strengths And weaknesses of Tesla's I understand...

Through a cock up by octopus I missed going on the last go faster tariff. All the other plans, including this (though I didn't even have the right charger!) were not great. I ended up on a econ 7 plan (forgot they were still around) My plan is to get solar panels this spring before this plan...

Hell no, why on earth put a distraction in front of you...seriously what is the point, I can say OK Google and the phone will kick in or use my fingers to turn Aircon on

The only 'legality' would come if you were involved in an accident and your insurance saw it & revoked your policy because it was a modification they erred not told about. Even if you did tell them they may say its not an authorised one if MG say its not designed for that...then you might be...

It's the standard advice the give the leaders of the super powers....don't push the red button 🤪

Hi On a side issue, you should check beforehand with your car insurer. Some (I'm with Privilege) class it as a modification & so charge a premium (£10-20 from memory). I declared it as its worth it so it doesn't invalidate the insurance but I do know some insurance DONT class it as a...
