Ohme Pro—works with Octopus.

Given the shortage of power stations, maybe the companies and government will just be grateful for people smoothing the grid—higher demand all around the clock!

Thanks all. BC done on Ohme last night. Much simpler!

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll go with the 7KW feeder then! 🙂

Hi, Octopus Intelligent gives 6 hrs of 10p per KW and to do my balance charge I use my granny charger rather than a Ohme Home Pro. (Recommended by MG service team.) To reduce the cost and time charging to 100% and equalising, i‘m thinking of charging the car to 70% using my 7KW feed and then...

Thanks, I saw that when I did the equalisation charge yesterday. Do you by any chance know the anode chemistry for the MG5 excite long rage? Thanks for your reply. I do the same. I’ve Been watching the Pluglife recordings about charging and batteries. They’re really interesting. I was...

Good point, thanks. The wipers were on intermittently on the way down. I guess having n ev I’ll get used to learning just how much energy different device use! the Thing that is confusing is that if the battery is at a higher percentage on the return journey, I’d expect the efficiency to be...

Thanks Les. we’re driving an old shape Mg5 115kW Excite EV 61 kWh 2022, which was pre registered. I guess the efficiency might be down to driving 55mph on the motorway! What mpg did you get today and how low did you let the battery get before a charge?

I did a load of research on this before we brought our M5 last week, as we run our cars to the ground and I’d like to get as much out of the battery as I can! Most MG service centres, the manual and articles suggest the following… Try to keep the charge to around 50pc As much as possible. Keep...
