Many thanks for your input, you are not making it easy for me! The thing is, going Tesla is 5k more on similar plate/mileage car, and since we are taking 25k car, it is quite of a hike... These are not a deal breakers to me, but i think I will keep an eye on Tesla website, since the new...

"why not go tesla?" You can get ID3 cheaper, but also i quite like the inconspicuous look of ID3, and it's a little bit smaller than tesla, and since we don't need a big car it seems like a good choice... Is Tesla considerably better choice in your opinion?

hi everyone, After 2.5 happy years with MG5, I'm looking at changing to ID3 77kwh (just for this extra bit of range). I was considering MG4 extended range as well, but VW seems to be a little bit more efficient, and also I can get 21 or 71 plate for 25k, as with MG4 we are looking at minimum...

December figures are in! 90% motorway driving, hopefully it will be getting only better now...

Might be an idea to change your car then?

Had a similar issue recently, left the car at airport parking for 2 days and the battery was dead on our arrival, had to call AA etc. The issue solved itself since, i suspect that 12v battery got discharged as infotainment wasn't switching off fully. Prior to the issue we had "radio module...

And the results are in again... 80% of the mileage is on motorways, the total cost of charging for the month is £1.66. The rest is from solar/charging at work.

Maybe they confused SOC with SOH?

These are some impressive figures! Are you on or off grid? We've got 4.5kw and it seems we should get around 550kwh this month. Same here, we've been using solar since 2010, and it's one of the bets investments ever.

311kwh is not a bad result! I also use solar to heat up water, i specifically bought a low wattage (1kw) water tank not to put too much strain on the batteries in less sunny conditions. In terms of charging the car, I invested in variable power charger 6-13 amps, so if the weather is not that...

hi everyone, Is anyone using their photovoltaics to charge your MG? What kind of figures do you get daily/monthly? I managed to "harvest" over 185kwh this month so far, and will possibly get close to 200kwh - that's over 3 full "tanks". Maximum daily car charge was around 18kwh, but it could...

And the April results are in!

Thanks everyone for your help!

You mean the fuel efficiency?

Much bigger choice of tyres, and they are cheaper, also maybe lowering very slightly will help with fuel economy?
