Last year when I went to Cornwall I chose an Airbnb with its own dedicated 7kW Chargepoint. I did charge at Gridserve on an overnight stay in Exeter (N.B. - I've always stayed overnight in Exeter) for contingency. However as it happened I didn't really need to and I then never public charged...

Heated seats in the back. Cooled seats in both the front and the back.

Another Fudster infesting the forum.

What do people you consider as being underwater at the end of a PCP. Is it 1. Is the money you could sell it for to a dealer less than than the MGFV 2. Could you buy the same car spec from a dealer at a lower price than the MGFV? Eg you could sell the car with MGFV of £16k for £15k but it would...

I did clock it was a random new novice member with a battery issue I had not read about before.

Like going through a tunnel under a mountain / hill eg the one on the way to Portsmouth, coming from London.

Its not strictly free as the marginal cost is what you could have sold it at to the grid. But defo cheaper.

Part of the enjoyment for me is in any set of conditions getting the maximum mile's per kWh. Its a little competition I set myself. It annoys me when the wife's using it and drags it down!

Any incidence of it triggering the alarm. I stooped using the NEXAS NexLink Bluetooth 5.0 OBDII Scanner I bought as it kept doing this. I don't know if was the scanner that caused it or some setting on the car that did it. It would not make the alarm go off when switched on, but about 20 minutes...

I forgot that until I read this.

Never had much of a problem with them.

Hotspot is useful when you need to use an App for eg parking or charging (eg Tesla without contacless) and your phone doesn't get a signal but the car does.

Its always worth asking also even if it does not state. A properly wired outside plug brings a granny charger into play. I have done that with an Airbnb at Christmas and l will be doing so again for a long weekend in August. I wouldn't be keen on using inside plugs though, through an open...

If they can have an acceptable charging solution (home, decent nearby off-street, nearby Tesla chargepoints open to all or any Tesla chargepoint if getting a Tesla) and they can afford at least used, then yes, get an EV. If not, then wait on few years till its better where they live

Hence the wording I used being: 'most, but not all'. The not all element covering those you listed.
