I got about 17 miles per kWh once on the Isle of Wight going downhill on a warm day.

In ICY or snowy weather I dont use OPD and in fact have KERS ( regen ) at the lowest setting.

On my weeks trip away over Christmas to Abergavenny, Wales from London. I started on 100%. Put in 21.23 kWh at Celtic Manor Resort ( Newport) Tesla open to all on the way there and 38.90 kWh on the way back, all via the Tesla app as v3 with no contactless ( well at least not on the...

Regarding a granny charger v a dedicated 7kW tethered. I find the 7kW more convenient. That convenience utility makes the cost of installation worthwhile to me. Regarding the Electroverse card. I've also got the zap map card as it works with a lot of 7kW public chargers. This would be for when...

You don't have turn the speed warning voice off to not hear it. You could just stick to the speed limit.

Just fancied an EV and not spewing out health harming tailpipe pollution ie the stuff other than C02. Wasn't really based on cost. On my first EV a ZSEV over a 3 year PCP, 72 plate, the cost of ownership : deposit, monthlys, insurance, servicing and charging ( mainly home) was more than an ICE...

As long as it tells me when I am actually over, I'm fine with the odd occasion it tells me I am over when I am not ( eg reading turn off road speed limits). I just ignore those .The only ones I have set to turn off on the custom MG Pilot setting are the not paying attention ones or you are tired...

Get it wrong and it will be like SnowPiercer.

I've left the warnings on. I like to be warned I'm over so I don't go over.

Note. If you prefer full 1 pedal driving rather than one of the regen settings then it stays set. No need to do it each time. In my case however the missus does not like it so I switch it on and off when leaving or arriving home.

How do you activate TJA. Traffic Jam Assist. On the ZSEV now gone back at end of PCP, (so just got the S5 last Friday [Halloween!]) it just came on when in the adaptive cruise control MG pilot setting with the LKA, at lower speeds eg 20 mph. Does it do the same on the S5 or do you have to...

Granny chargers are very useful though when staying at someone's house to charge or some holiday accommodation that lets you plug into an outside 3 pin plug socket. Paying for what you use of course.

There will never be OTA updates.

I've been getting heavier recently.

Surely it will burn down through all the EVs catching fire or at the very least be uninsurable.
