Was just going to add my MG5 does that if you break heavily so it's a visual warning for other cars that a car is breaking heavily in front so they can react, useful feature but embarrassing to get it to stop.

I think this sounds like another anti EV windup

When you can see the speed increase on the dashboard and later on GPS tracking dash cam shows the sudden increase in speed then you realise that it was in fact acceleration, also the brakes seem to struggle with slowing the car giving a very unpleasant second or two, anyway I'm done with this...

NO it's acceleration as the speed increases quite rapidly and the first couple of times accelerating into a rounderbout is an interesting distraction. If it was just interrupted braking the car would not accelerate it just wouldn't slow down

Different car, but I've noticed one thing with my MG5, under KERS 3 breaking if one of the drive wheels goes over a manhole cover it can cause the car to launch forward with rapid acceleration so i try to avoid manhole covers while slowing down.

That makes good sense, I'll get on that straight away..

I had my tyres as factory inflated to 2.6 bar, as you say the tyres wore in the middle so when replacements were fitted they were inflated to 2.2 bar and all was good until winter when the really cold frosts triggered the puncture warning on random wheels because the cold air made them read...

Never had any issues with any of the above in an automatic car wash, just make sure to disengage the auto hand brake and put it in neutral as soon as the conveyor belt takes the car and don't turn the car off

Also not the worse news in the world, never got a car from a dealership where I know more about the car than they do. I just feel sorry for the Fiat 500 EV customers that still have to listen to them babble on.

It's actually very easy to do, if the car is locked and you use boot only unlock, drop the keys in the boot then shut it everything locks and won't open again

All i can say is that you have a real problem with your car or driving habit if you think it's comparable to a WRX running cost

Here's a plan that will work

Well as it seems you don't like people disagreeing with you I'll leave it at that, I'm sure everyone can read all the posts and come to the sensible conclusion but i will just say that you have not said that 90 mph is too fast to be driving but as you say you're entitled to your own opinion and...

They certainly started out that way but do seem to have lost the ball at present, hopefully they will be able to pick up the ball and continue with there work.

Just a little point that you again seem to have taken too far, you do not have the right to say anything you want about anything that you choose, freedom of speech no longer exists in this country so it's time to step down off that big horse and take other people's points of view in the context...

Because recharging takes time so a a supplier only having capacity to recharge 4 cars for example is of no use if you have 20 cars waiting so more suppliers each with capacity for 4 cars would go along way to helping, the ICE stations don't just have 4 pumps do they

I'm so sorry to hear that you feel offended by this "end of" comment but the reality is that in this country it really is "end of" why do you feel the need to defend driving at 90 mph is fine when it's almost 30% above the speed limit, so now 39 mph in a 30 mph is fine by you also. Just drop the...

It's quite simple really although i live only 1 mile from one of the busiest junctions on the M1 i now avoid motorways because of the charging issues much rather stick to A & B roads and charge with a greater choice of supplier than be held by a monopoly, if they opened up the motorway system to...

Because they came in and replaced all of the outdated units promising so much but they haven't even bothered to do simple updates on the chargers, lots of the chargers won't disconnect without calling the help line to intervene. How is that a progressive company that wants to promote EV charging...

But just like their predecessor, now they have the monopoly of the motorways it's just sit back and count the cash while the whole system goes to hell again
