MG ZS EV Trophy Connect 2022 purchased 2023.
Tesla Hub charging
After varying success using Tesla chargers I tried again today and it worked faultlessly
from 40% to 75%
My previous vehicle a diesel SUV cost about £60 to fill for 440 miles range. The EV costs about £10 home charging for same range and about £40 at a Rapid motorway charger, or £20 at Tesco etc.
After 6 months I've driven 3600 miles. Charging per month at home is about £15 compared to my previous diesel SUV £60 so comparatively mile for mile about £30 per month saved.
Mistakes I made.
I didn't religiously record the odometer
I left credit on pod-point app
Picture best explains it. I rarely use the built-in satnav except to show where I am.
I tend to use Waze on a separate device or the awful Android auto.
I visited Chargeyard in Slough recently and one of the 150kW chargers had a broken lead lying on the ground. I reported it on the Chargepoint app and it was reported several times over a a month ago. "They are fixing it ASAP"
This is a Chargeyard I've seen them in Slough and Croydon

I know it's only day 2 of my ownership
It seems to me that a 13A (BS 1363) covered/ switched socket inside the vehicle might be nice to avoid having to have a V2L cable dangling out the front.
Does anyone provide such?
Woking Car parks still have some free charging. You need your own type-2 cable.
Some NHS hospitals have free charging for staff. (I won't say which)
Others feel free to edit below. Please do not vandalise it
