Yesterday, in the pouring rain I succeeded in failing to get an Osprey charger to work. The routine seemed fairly straightforward, tap your payment card, choose which connector to use, and hey presto, the connector is locked into the charger, and won't budge...£25 down as they lock that until...

From Swansea to Northampton, and return , some 400 miles, in my ZS EV Mk 1 80% on motorways and dual carriageways, not the most economical driving. Speed between 65 and 70 mph. With stops and business at the other end, a 12 hour day..:( Recharging Network was great. Leaving home with an 80%...

On my three year old MG ZS EV, mk1, the image quality on the reversing camera is rubbish. I am comparing it against the MG HS in Oz, which I recently had a ride in. That has very good IQ, and also had a 3D image of the car and surroundings... I don't expect to have the 3D, composite of three...

Just returned to Octopus Go. Cheap rate starts at 12:30am. I have a charger installed by Octopus several years ago. But it is a Rolec charger I now find out. Thus, without getting up at 12:30 to switch the thing on, its a lump of doin's................ So do I have to get up at 12:30am to...

I managed to bend my MG ZS EV mk 1 on a low brick wall. Not a huge amount of damage, but plenty to raise the insurance umbrella. As a courtesy car, I have the Toyota Yaris. Lovely little car. After a day of driving this little Hybrid, I am looking forward to getting my MG back. The Yaris is...

More and more Genie Charging points are out of order... They were so well placed, in Morrisons Supermarkets, and other places. I did ring them a month or two ago, they said they could not get spare parts from Japan. Poor sourcing in the first place. They are now a bit like Ecotricity, who had...

On my return from Heathrow to Wales, I called into the Ionity Charger station near Chippenham. I have used this station before, with difficulty. But yesterday, it worked very well. The trick is to use a payment card, a Shell card in this case. It saves you being debited the deposit of what was...

A long row of new Gridserve EV Chargers being installed at the Reading Moto services Eastbound on the M4. Unsure of the opening schedule, but can't be too far away..:D

Trying to organise a weeks holiday in the Hay-on-Wye area. So few charging points and those that era there are out of order,,,, Gordon Bennett is all I have to say...

Not being funny, but I don't think I have seen, or recognised, an MG5 on the road, certainly here in South Wales. MG ZS's are very popular, mainly petrol ones, you see them every time you drive, ... But not the 5's.... Odd...

I have this EO charger for a year or so. I have delayed getting it on line for various reasons. Now I am trying to do that. I go through the routine, it is trying to connect, but in the end fails. Err-5006. I suspect my internet connection is not strong enough. I am trying to connect through...

Ref MG ZS EV, does the rear seat lift before folding the back rest down? Can't see anything in the handbook about it, resulting in the backrest not descending as I would have thought... TIA

Love the ZS EV, it suits most of my driving way of life......but.. On a recent holiday, we had to take the wifes Merc Series B, as there were no rapid chargers within 15 miles of the holiday cottage. Now I am planning a trip to a bird sanctuary 90 miles away. No rapid chargers within 30 miles...

Just like to praise Gridserve's charger at j47 on the M4. Gridserve have replaced the Ecotricty chargers there, and it worked very well first time and with ease. 150kwh rate, gave about 30KW in about 30 minutes, and cost £5.30 odd. If all chargers worked as well, we are making progress in the...

My previous EV was a little Citroen Zero. The manufacturers (Mitsubishi) advertised mileage was 93 miles on a full charge. This article says the real world range was 63 miles. Citroen C-Zero (2010-2018) range, battery & charging | DrivingElectric My little car after 10 years, still gave a...

The inboard Sat Nav kept telling me to "Turn left after the Petal station"... Hope no one is offended... :D

Sadly have to say that I have come to an end with Octopus Energy Company. My power bills for the last two months have come to £560 approx. Despite my usage/meter readings showing about £130 per month. They claim they were given a inaccurate reading for an Electric Meter installed in 2008, thus...

I recently did a rapid charge at Tesco using the Podpoint charger. The cost was £4.75 or so, using my Visa Debit card. I now see that Podpoint are taking £30 from my bank as well. Is this just the holding charge, and will be refunded or released in time?

Anyone had an invoice from New Motion. I have an invoice which I dare not open, as it may well be a scam. I am sure I have not signed up for anything, other than answering Q''s from the ZS EV forum regarding Shell...
