    Solar + Battery setup maybe not working as it should?

    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...

    Smart meter (monitor) not working after Ohme Pro installation

    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.

    Well, after 2 years and 2 months of MG5 ownership it's goodbye from me. I'll be selling the old girl next week having taken delivery of a used Polestar 2. First thing that happened in the Polestar, the infotainment crashed and needed to be rebooted ;) Just goes to show, all cars have their...

    EVs in popular culture ... where are they?

    Is it just me or is there a distinct lack of mention of EVs in popular culture, films, TV, books, music, etc. I don't actually watch that much TV, so it may have passed me by, but the only reference to EVs I can think of in recent memory was in the recent series of Vigil - and that was used as...

    MG5 Excite LR (pre FL) to MG4 SE LR - worth the trade up?

    I do love my MG5 (drive, range, features) but it is one ugly car :( Seen a few MG4 in the flesh now and it is one hot car :love: Could I justify the £10k to trade up, for a few extra miles of range, a better (but slower?) drive and a bit more tech (App). Tell me I'm mad for even considering it...

    MG5 Steering - a concern or not?

    Notice recently that the steering wheel is a bit "notchy" ... let me explain ... when driving on the motorway when the car is veering off to the left or right in the lane and I try and correct the veer I feel resistance from the steering wheel if I try and turn it just a fraction, and then it...

    Gently, gently catchee monkee - MG5 efficiency with light foot

    If you hate efficiency look away now ... ;) Forgot to charge overnight so when it came to my 45 mile drive to work this morning I was super careful to drive as efficiently as possible, in order to make it there with as much charge as possible. Started with 31% battery, outside temp 7°C, got to...
