    Worn out seat! Anyone else?

    I’ve just checked and discovered three tiny flaps in the material in my drivers seat squab on the right hand side, and I’ve only drive 26k miles so far. Please let me know how you get on claiming under warranty if you go down that avenue?

    Intelligent Octopus Go works like a dream.

    I’m with Intelligent Octopus Go, and it works really well with my Zappi & Eddi. All car charging, domestic water heating and dish washer was using off peak rate. On high solar generation days Zappi & Eddi automatically take surplus generation. Just had GivEnergy AIO batteries installed and...

    We have a series 1 ZS EV and a Zappi version 2. All works very well on Intelligent Octopus Go.

    MG ZS windscreen demisting

    Yes indeed Tim, a/c uses some power, but I understand it uses less power than heating. Also being retired I have more time available for recharging, and most important I like to drive as safely as possible.

    Zappi + Intelligent Octopus in beta

    Signed up to IO about 19 days ago after several attempts. Works really well. Done a bump charge and lots of small 10% off peak 7.5p/kWh charges. I’ve discovered that I need to leave the Zappi in Eco++ mode when I plug in and Octopus handle from there.

    MG ZS windscreen demisting

    Just keep air-conditioning on all the time, misting up will not be a problem.

    Solar with battery, loving it!

    Hi Fred, That’s my understanding too. For me it is imperative that we avoid jeopardising our lucrative 25 year FiT deal. Ideally I would like to install a battery system that will work seemlessly with our setup supplied by Myenergi which includes a Zappi and an Eddi. I’ve received a quote...

    Solar with battery, loving it!

    Hi Gary, I’ve received a quote from World of Solar which includes a GivEnergy hybrid inverter. They have assured me that it will not adversely affect our FiT contract, however having formally queried this, I’m waiting for their response.

    Solar with battery, loving it!

    Hi, we have a similar setup but without batteries. We put quite a lot of surplus solar power into the grid therefore are looking to install batteries. I am concerned that most quotations we’ve received include hybrid inverters which would also handle solar generated power, but I’m worried that...

    Are electricians ripping us off?

    Our Zappi install cost £2.1k minus £0.5k OLEV grant, but it also included Eddie, Hub and Harvi. The electrician knew everything there is to know about Myenergi products, and installation worked perfectly from day one! This was in February 2020. We are now looking for a 10kWh Libbi to be...

    No regen when braking

    Yep, regents usually kicks in when you lift off the accelerator. Alter KERS setting to adjust level of regen/vehicle slowing. No regen when auto cruising. Note: Regen does not kick in when EV charged to 100%.

    Which EV route planning app do you prefer please?

    Yes I use Zap-map too but only because it was one of the first to provide the service, and although I’ve had the ZS over three years, I must only have done about half a dozen long trips requiring charging away from our Zappi.

    Annual Service

    I believe my low mileage package does include AA cover as well as corrosion warranty compliance. However I shall be taking the vehicle in for its annual service and first MOT on 9th March, and will seek GH’s confirmation on both.

    Annual Service

    Remember this was two years ago, and inflation was negligible. But now everything’s shooting up in price! I find it’s always useful to discuss and negotiate with vendors.

    Annual Service

    I agreed this package with Glyn Hopkin, East London branch when I purchased the car at the start of 2020. I guess prices may have increased like everything else with horrendous inflation. I paid in full and advance for car, servicing, MOTs, etc. We live in Surrey which makes it a bit of a...

    Smeared Windscreen

    Yep, I was going to suggest white vinegar but I can see the soap and white vinegar working even better then just vinegar.

    Our ZS EV Trophy Connect Long Range will not charge with Zappi

    Hi, we have a similar setup although our MG ZS EV is the 2020 version. Suggest you go to the Myenergi website, log in and select my schedules. Very easy and seems to work well which is handy especially if you repeat the same pattern week after week.

    1st service cost, seems expensive!

    Yes that seems way too high. I’ve a service contract with Glyn Hopkin, East London, and I’m pleased with their service and price. Rather than just booking ad hoc services, I suggest agreeing a long term contract with them. We live right down in Surrey but travel up to Glyn Hopkin because we...
