@Anon70 Thats great news, I'm staying close by near Seahouse which also has chargers but I think they are only 22kW so not particularly fast. I will be doing a fair bit of driving and of course, there is the charge to get back home, a journey of nearly 200 miles. That should mean I can get...

Many thanks. All set up.

Thanks guys, I was expecting something more difficult. That really was easy. Looking forward to using my first Tesla supercharger.

Android. Think I have found it. Seems almost too easy to set up. Not asked for payment method or cc details. How do I pay?

Many thanks, dumb question but what's the app called, I can only find a Tesla app for home power systems?

As someone who has never used a Tesla charger with my MG4 can I ask what the process is? Is it any different from other high speed chargers? Do I need to download an App? I'm on holiday in Northumberland next week and there is a Tesla station close by where I am staying ( Adderstone...

What we need is somebody to build us something like this for the MG4. TERAGLIDE | Tesla Model Y Trunk Bed | New Zealand-Crafted

Hi Rockstar, As a fan of Node-Red I was interested to see your project, it looks pretty thorough. Nice work. Can you tell me if this is intended to run on Node-Red inside HA or on a standalone instance of Node-Red. I have both available to me and run a mosquito client on both although I...

@kevinji Not sure why you think you can't sign up for Octopus Intelligent Go with an MG4. I've been on that tariff for just over two months. Sign-up was simple and the MG4 was listed as compatible. I simply changed supplier to an Octopus normal tariff and two days later moved over to...

Just realised I needed a full stop, and not a comma in my first paragraph to make it entirely clear. I had not intended to suggest you needed an Ohme charger to get Octopus Intelligent Go but rather to point out that I knew the Ohme charger worked with "Smart Charging" but was unsure if other...

I agree Octopus Intelligent Go seems very cost-effective for an EV owner. I'm not sure that many people have figured it out yet but although the "official cheap 7.5 pence rate" is normally only available from 23.30 until 05.30, if you have an Ohme Charger (not sure about others) when you plug...

Not sure if this helps but Thule has several Youtube videos showing how to fit their roof racks to the MG4. Also found this company who have a helpful website that shows which Thule roof racks will fit the MG4. I have NO affiliation with this company. Just found them while searching for...

Funny how you don't notice things like this. After reading this thread I just had to go and check my Trophy has the Bonnet sound pad. It has, although as has already been mentioned the car is still fairly noisy as motorway speeds. However, for all its foibles, still happy with my car.

Hi Ian, Some great work here, you deserve a big thank you for the effort you have put in. A man after my own heart, a real nerd (compliment) who just does things because they can. I had considered trying to build something similar using JSON and Node-Red but I'm too busy on my Home...

I too had been looking at a similar solution i.e. an isolating transformer but realised that a big enough transformer (at least 5KW intermittent) would be prohibitively expensive for an experiment. The transformer listed on the Screwfix site could however be a good starting point. Perhaps...
