i did see a little bit of info that said they can be used for house storage. and for a 4kwh battery it isnt a bad price, as i was looking at 2k for a 2.5kw battery to build a home storage system.
i have had a few problems with the new gridserve ones as well.
at cobham services i have found one out of the 3 units will work. and one i tried at clacket lane did the same.
it has been suggested try holding the ccs plug in while it is doing the handshake, as it may help, but i have not tried...
for me i was looking at an EV as i drive into London a few times a month, and alot of other places are soon to be putting in a low emissions zone's.
i looked at a few other ev's befor i looked at the MG5 and with the affenity deal most others were over 10k more and they didnt offer me anything...
i looked at the Ioniq before i got my MG5.
and i looked at the new prices as the comparances, so 23-25k to 33-35k.
so i had to looks at it as did the Ioniq give me 10k more of a car.. and i could not justify the extra price.
also the Ioniq does not have a roof loading, so you are not allowed to...
i have had a few rapid charges now and i have noticed that then ive had a quick few kwh's top up, that the battery percentage and GOM seams to drop alot faster than it should.

electric cars have a 100% discount untill 2025.
the £10 is a registration fee, and is payable each year
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/congestion-charge/discounts-and-exemptions
it is under the Cleaner vehicle discount
i think that for the extra £1.5k is great value for an extra 20% battery.
but i have read somewhere that the 0-60 and the m/kWh is less, due to the extra weight.
but i do wonder if it is possible to add the larger battery aftermarket.
i got mine on the scheme and it was £22464 and this did inc the blue colour pant and the type 2 charging lead.
i did also get the protection pack and the stainless door sill covers.
the only thing to watch is if you are getting it on pcp finance, that it is 4.5% instead of 0% so it can cost...
ive used bp and instavolt recently
bp ones can be cheeper but some require app or RFID cards, the instavolt was very simple and a nice thing to use, but it was 35p per KWh
After watching and reading loads of info from here I thought I had better sign up.
I have had my MG 5 for over 3 weeks now and it is great fun.
I changed from driving a small van to this..
