I was half aware of that option, but had not realised that the difference in tariff was quite so big. I may well go for that option Many thanks.

Your comments are absolutely correct. I shall still be doing my normal charging via the scheduled method. It works well and reliably.

I understand that. I intend to continue using it.

I've not tried your suggestion just yet, as I was keen to explain why I'm not able to do the export transaction. I've had panels since 2011, and consequently enjoying 61p/ kwh for everything I generate. So I'm reluctant to risk losing that tariff. But thank you for your guidance around the...

I am on Intelligent Go, with Zappi, which works fine. Together with the Zappi App. What I cannot get to work is to charge exclusively from my solar panels. I plug cable onto car and immediately Octopus App comes up with schedule which could well be during peak hours, but it would be charged at...

What is so scary about these figures is when you calculate the equivalent MPG if one is paying the extortionate 'fast charging rate' of 80p/ kwh. Between 2miles/kwh and 2.5miles/kwh your equivalent is between 15MPG and 20MPG. Why fast charging is nearly 3x the cost of the domestic tariff is...

I bet you have R13 software installed. Mine was the same as you are describing, except I upgraded to R16(?) and the darn thing stays with LKA active, except when I legally change it. Then on restart its back to on again.

I have not yet required a charge away from my home based charger. But I have made phantom long distance journeys to see where ultra fast charging would be available. What shocks me considerably is the cost of a kWh. They all seem to be around the £0.80/kWh. With petrol costing around £7/gallon...

Thank you for that definitive answer. I failed somehow to spot the answer in this thread. To confuse me further, with R13 in place I have recently had Waze behaving correctly with one particular combination of Waze, GM and AA. Then it stopped working with a later combination of updates. As an...

I rather foolishly started a new thread regarding the problem of vehicle dab radio and navigation instructions not working together. I had Zero replies, which surprised me because I find this problem an extraordinary failure by Google or MG. Using online radio uses data allowance from the phone...

Has anyone looked at the 50Hz waveform on a scope? Some loads can be very fussy, needing a 'good' sinewave form. Transformers for instance. Others like bar heaters don't care.

My MG4 is still failing to allow the vehicle radio playing and getting navigation instructions from Waze or Google maps. It is not a question of volume control level for reasons I will explain later. I have android auto version 9.8 on my phone and Waze and Google maps are Jun/Jul releases. If I...

I ordered a SE LR Sept 4, told by dealer a few days ago that it's 12-16 week lead time, so probably January 2023 for delivery.... anyone else had the excuse that all 64kwh batteversions are on this lead time?
