    VAT reduced to 0% on solar batteries from February 1st 2024

    As VAT on standalone and retrofit batteries is reduced to 0% from Feb 1st, it makes installing them a slightly more viable option. My roof is unsuitable for solar panels so standalone is my only real option. Was wondering what a reasonable price for install alone would be for a Givenergy all in...

    I used the parking brake !!

    Having had the car for 2 years and a ZS EV before that for a year I had never used the parking brake switch on either car until this last weekend. :) I had always found the footbrake, Autohold and Park to cover all my needs for holding the car when stopped. However for some reason sat at lights...

    Been a lot of talk of the VCU recently - What is it ?

    The VCU has been mentioned in several threads* recently and that there is an update for it. There are hopes this update will cure all ills. I hadn't got a clue what it was so looked it up and if anyone else is the same boat (or EV) then basically it is the Vehicle Control Unit that communicates...

    Mer - Meh or Yep

    On a trip soon and looking at my route a Mer charging stop with 8 rapids looks a possibility. Stop in question is Blue Diamond Worcester Garden Centre, WRS 7SW. Has anyone any experience of Mer, or even this location. I've never used Mer berfore but an opportunity to use my Electroverse card. :)

    Geniepoint sinks even lower

    Received an email the other day from them informing me that they're raising their pre-auth charge from £8 to £35 for PAYG customers. For those with an account a mere £25. Not seen this reported on here so apologies if it has. I will continue my avoidance of anything that bears their name, but if...

    Ionity - a summer reminder

    For anybody planning trips over this summer, or anytime really, if you like using Ionity don't forget their passport subscription. I've used Ionity a few times and once you get the charger started they work well, however relatively few locations. For £10.99 a month (cancellable anytime with a...

    Looks like Electroverse (Octopus) are introducing plug and charge using their card.

    Android Auto apps

    My AA has updated now and has the nice split screen but I was wondering how do you get rid of unwanted app icons on the screen tray/taskbar at the bottom (not the big screen with all the apps that you initially select from.) This also relates to before the update, I couldn't fathom it then...

    My trip in a Tesla model 3

    4 of us, all males, went on a day trip to Leicester from Leeds last week, well how did it go?

Including pick ups and drop offs a return journey of...

    Changing EVSE

    I have a Rolec, works perfectly well but I have a hankering (yes hankering is allowed in polite society) to change it so that I can switch to Intelligent Octopus from Go when my fix ends. Financially it doesn't make sense but my sense of wellbeing might be. :) When the Rolec was installed it...

    Facelifted 5 lower WLTP !

    Just been comparing specs to see what the Trophy has extra to the SE to warrant the extra £2500. Most I can live without but, the auto air conditioning would be a loss as would the auto folding door mirrors. However what I do not like is the fact that the WLTP for the Trophy is now only 235...
