It's never worked for me.

I have three of these, make sure that they have 16amp commando type plugs and not the UK 13amp. The UK plugs will overheat if you exceed 10amp.

I have purchased several from Amazon, don't know if they operate in Greece. In addition I carry a 25 meter heavy duty extension lead, must be a heavy duty one rated at continuous 16 amps. Cost for both about £200.

Why not get her an electric bike and keep her legal? If stopped on a scooter then it will be confiscated. An ebike will do the same job and probably cheaper as a cheap escooter is not worth having.

Yes, my MG5 varies by the same small amount. My Volvo V70 ICE car varies by a much greater percentage, as have all my previous combustion engine cars. Okay it would be great if my MG had the 400 mile range of my Volvo, but I find the range prediction on the EV quite reliable. When my MG lease...

I believe the charger will release once it switches off. Had the car still been charging then the cable would have been locked in place. I would be totally happy for someone else to use a rapid charger once I had finished and if I was not there then it was my fault to be still hogging the bay...

Having also owned Volvo's I have been used to both front and rear lights on at all times. When driving in even slightly overcast weather, the first thing you see of a car in front is the rear lights. So yes I would prefer everyone to have rear lights at all times. I certainly feel safer if the...

I have four now, all from Amazon and around £130 each. All work fine and allow setting from 6 or 8 amp up to 26 amp. You can't use 26 amp though with the UK square pin plug. I have changed all to the caravan hookup round pin plug and socket. The one that came with the car is fine for travelling...

Mine is the 22 LR and it has both parking sensors and camera. Just about everything comes as standard.

Yes, I am surprised that it exists. I wonder where all the 32 amp sockets are though. You would need to take great care not to select the wrong amperage when plugged into anything less than a 32 amp supply.

You are very unlikely to find any 32 amp sockets except in commercial boatyards. Nor will you find a portable 32 amp charger. The best is to buy a 16 amp portable charger, but it can't be plugged into a square pin 13amp socket. A square pin socket is only safe up to 10 amp which is what comes...

I would check that your charger has been wired into a 32 amp dedicated circuit and with at least 6mm cable. It's possible that the installer couldn't wire into a suitable supply and has cheated by downgrading to 10 amps or less.

There is an in-between option that is much cheaper. A granny charger is just 10amp. You can install a 16 amp socket either off an underused ring main or a 2.5mm circuit from the consumer unit. Easy and cheap to do. You can pick up a 16amp inline charger from Amazon for under £150. Make sure you...

Prior to my MG5 I had a Volvo, lights on all the time seemed very sensible. This time of year in dull weather a car with rear lights on is more visible, so I would certainly advocate having them on. Anything to reduce the risk of someone not seeing me.

Standard charge cables can be found on Amazon for around £100. That's where I got mine.
