Afternoon folks, My MG4 is due it's first service. The three nearest garages are all about the same distance from me so thought I'd see what others have experienced from taking their cars to these three service centres? Shrewsbury Kidderminster Merthyr I presume a first service doesn't...

Thanks for the advice chaps! Currently on paternity leave so won't really need it regularly for a week, but I've got my head round it now I think! ??

Appreciate the reply. I get it now, thank you. It just seems a bit counter intuitive setting the amount to top up not the total for me, but I get why. I do about a 30 mile commute every day so would I be better replacing that each night or just doing a bigger charge every few days. Not sure...

Yea I'd seen that, but octopus say on their website to leave it off. There's also another option not to charge over 7.5p/kWh which I've currently left off as well, I assume it's basically the same thing? I wondered if it was just doing some sort of test charge or something, it's stopped now but...

Afternoon all! Quick one hopefully! I've just had my home home pro fitted (finally) and I've come to set up the scheduled charge etc on the app. I've set the charge to finish at 80% by 5:30 (for when the off peak tariff ends) but it's charging now when I turn the schedule on, is this correct? I...

Hmm, I was wondering about the lack of temperature display! I'll have to check what version it's on as only had the car 2 weeks! ?‍♂️

And this is why I always look for the forums! There's always people that know everything you need! Appreciate your help!

If that's the case then that would be ideal because I'm still waiting for confirmation of when my home charger will be installed. I will ask octopusev tomorrow as I'm supposed to be getting free AA cover included but had no further info on it. Would a 3phase cable be a worth while investment in...

I've got electroverse and Zapmap, I'll take a look at plugshare. Yea I might drop them an email tomorrow, but to be honest my interactions with octopusEV hasn't filled me with confidence that they know what they're doing! Thanks for your advice and such a warm welcome!

Yes, first EV, getting it through the octpusev salary scheme, so not sure if that means it'll include a type2, but I'm guessing probably not.

Hi folks, I'm taking delivery of my MG4 on Monday (All being well) and was wondering if it comes with charging cables etc? If not, could someone suggest where to get a decent one from and what type please? I'm thinking a 3Phase type 2 would cover my needs? Also is there anything else I need to...

Evening Folks! just a quick intro. My MG4 is being delivered Monday, it'll be my first EV so nervous and excited all at the same time.
