... to be fair to octopus I just plug in as an when, and it works seamlessly, never had a peak rate (boost?) charge, and still only paying around £700 for just under 10Mwh / year 🤷‍♂️

Come to think of it, in the early days (1st year) I did get some form of vibration around 65mph (on a SE model), but have either got used to it, or just dont notice it these days, but for the last 30000 miles it hasn't been an issue.

... although the MG4 XPower did have vibration issues, not heard of issues with the normal MG4 (in our case 70000km todate), vibration on a small scale is usually wheel weights, but @case dismissed did have a major issue with dodgy wobbling drive shafts.

... 1st thought is switch traction control off 🤷‍♂️

A PCP is a longterm car hire, in that they come with a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value at the end of the lease, its only a problem if you try to end the lease early. Remember than new MG4's are £10k cheaper than they were 3 years ago, also there are currently some cracking new EV's with...

.... no worries, just ordered one and likewise are fitting it myself - still got the electrics to do - but the main frame is millimeter perfect (so no redrilling of the holes), and also managed to refit the rear crash bar / towing eye - all I needed was a small cut out, which is only visible if...

Same here, nevertheless Octopus causes terrible problems when it starts outside of the 11:30-5:30am period.

"Shortly, we’ll introduce an option to either limit your smart charging to 6 off-peak hours or to prioritise reaching the charger target of your vehicle", 6 hours a day is more than enough for everyone 👍 - personally like most if they could just limit the smart charging to 11:30pm to 5:30am...

Ours never shows cost until the bill - I think its down to the meter brand. We are relatively high usage users (Nov 25 month was 1400kwh) the good news is that from todays bill, as long as the car is plugged in and charging then the rate is 7p for both the house, battery & car, as its always...

... which is why I "game" 😂 the system and just plug in as I go to bed, so that I get a solid charge block at 7p ready for when I drive away in the morning 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

.... we have 2 EV's, so have created a generic (winter profile) car in the ohme app (can you not do this in the zappy), and paired to IOG via the charger. Octopus dont know EV's SOC, so just set a default on a battery size of 25Kw and a max charge rate of 3.68kwh to be ready by 5:30am, so more...
