Can I just confirm this is yet another Trophy only function? Certainly saying "Hello MG" in my SE LR doesn't seem to do anything

There is someone with a black SE living not too far away from me, maybe that's who it was

Spotted another trophy, a white one this time, heading northbound on the A702 on the stretch between Easter Howgate and Hillend around 6:10pm this afternoon

Oh I know it wasn't you, wrong licence plate ;)

Blue Trophy spotted in the car park of Lidl in Penicuik around 4pm this afternoon... For a second I wondered how my car ended up there lol

Spotted an orange Trophy parked on Morningside Road in Edinburgh tonight. For some reason I haven't seen that many orange ones around

I'm surprised to read people have been reporting oil leaks in an electric car... What oil are we talking about here? Brake fluid??

We stopped at Southwaite twice last year on a drive down. The Gridserve CCS chargers work well, there's just not that many of them. Westmorland's still under construction it seems (Electric Charging - Westmorland Family) though ZapMap tells me Southbound at Tebay now has 2 bays of 2 104kW...

Tebay is our favourite pit stop, last year their website said they were expanding the number of chargers at their two locations but last time I drove through it, I was lucky enough to be able to charge at the northbound one but they could definitely do with more. I was hoping the Tesla chargers...

Oh cool that's good to know. I'll know to consider Tesla chargers in the future when doing a road trip. Cheers

Do you need an adapter or a special cable to use Tesla's superchargers?

A bit of an update on this topic. I went to charge at another 22kW AC charger yesterday and I was able to get about 6.5kW on average from this unit, which suggests the other unit I was talking about must either have technical issues or deliberate throttling or something as the unit yesterday was...

Ah ah if there's one thing that's almost always off it's the AC ;)

I don't think I've ever even seen an 11kW charge point. I'll get in touch with my dealership and ask if they'd be willing to swap my cable free of charge for a 3 phase one. I expect they won't but it doesn't hurt to ask, especially after a disappointing servicing last week. Thanks for the info...

No I wasn't sitting in the car, I only stay sitting in the car when I'm desperate for a rapid charge and there's nothing else to do. These are figures I would see while regularly monitoring the state of charge in the iSmart app, which I expect to be accurate enough. As for battery balancing I...

See my original post. 7 kW charging provides about 5.6 kW to the car which to me is reasonable enough 22 kW charging provides only about 4.2 kW to the car makes no sense. At least it didn't until people started explaining about 3 phase. And yeah I get ranty when I'm confused, I like to...

Thank you that's the best explanation I've read yet. Still complex but it makes sense now. I just wish these things were better explained at the point of purchase so you could decide to spend an extra 30 quid or so for a 3 phase charging cable to make the most of fast chargers but I'm not sure...

I don't do calculations. I just expect a fast charger to be faster than a slow one. Surely that's not an unreasonable assumption to make?

I don't see the relevance with petrol sorry. We're talking about how fast the car gets charged. With petrol whether you use ethanol, unleaded, diesel or whatever your combustible of choice is, it'll take more or less the same amount of time to fill all cars of equal size (I'm not comparing city...

They all seem to have pins in them so is it just a case of getting a three phase cable or something? And I tried to check the manual of the car or the website and nothing specifies what category of AC charger is installed on the SE long range, unless it's buried in an appendix somewhere. I'm...
