I never got BP pulse to work with my old MG5 🙄

Yep ... The 'Ghost Train' always sells more tickets than the 'Speak your Weight' machine :rolleyes:

Toaster, it was on for several minutes, but how long does it take for battery to wake up?

Advice please, can anyone help with this ... noticed today that the spike on graph circled was not supplied by battery, but by the grid. Battery was fully charged overnight, from 1- 6am. Confused by my setup at the best of times, never really understood these graphs, but this has me puzzled...

Yes, you're right, I hadn't thought of that. Additional stopping force on the lorry would screw up my "theoretical" example above. I'll climb down on this one, complete u-turn for me ... best to be safe after all, for everyone's sake and leave the right gap ... ;)

I know but not enough for an impact, provided the gap between car and lorry is greater than the distance travelled in the reaction time. The car will stop quicker than the lorry, 50m* as opposed to 120m*, say, so from the car's point there would be an initial rapid closing of the gap - but not...

Don't Luscombe Leeds have any longe-range MG5s? https://www.luscombemotors.co.uk/

No, nor will the lorry ;)

56mph is roughly 25 metres per second so as long as your reflexes are pretty good (= or <1 second) then example 3, or possibly even 2 above is fine … but not 1 😉

Wow, what a tedious waste of time ... couldn't bear to watch more than a few seconds :rolleyes:

Yep, same here, not long now before the "big sky candle" is enough alone to charge the house batteries without the need for an overnight charge - though even then it's only 40p to charge the batteries (4.8kWh) ... :ROFLMAO:

For sure the charging infrastructure is holding back total conversion to EVs, but that will get better over time.

Yep, overnight for me ... not sure who would have an issue with that, except shift workers.

Was chatting with a mate at the weekend about my EV and he asked me how much it cost to charge ... when I said it cost about £6 to charge, he said oh, it costs me more than that for just 1 gallon of diesel. If you can afford the initial outlay, and if you can charge at home, then it's a no...

It's propaganda is what it is :rolleyes:

Hmmmn ... smart meter worked perfectly for 365 days, then, on the day the Ohme Pro is installed it suddenly stops working ... seems an unlikely coincidence, no?

SW 🟩 WAN 🟩 MESH ⬜ HAN 🟩 GAS 🟩 These lights flash every 3 or 4 seconds, with the exception of MESH which doesn't flash at all.

IHD I mean ... tried resetting it multiple times, just says "waiting to connect" ...

Had Ohme Pro installed yesterday morning and just after the technician left noticed the smart meter monitor (IHD) had stopped working ... "waiting to connect" on screen indefinitely. What could he have done in the meter box to cause this? It's all beyond my understanding.

I ran my MG5 LR for 2 years on the granny charger alone (3-pin). Yes it's slow, but if you're doing less than 60 miles a day you can easily put that back in overnight ... and yes it should come with the car in a little rectangular pouch. Oh and check under the bonnet for surface rust on the...
