Firstly, zap map won't really help you in Europe, I suggest chargemap
Secondly, as someone pointed out on here, try the elecroverse app, had a quick look and it seems to work in europe
Hi
I've just had a 4kw plus 5.2kw battery fitted last month costing £8k
We've had 2 EVs for 5 years, doing about 12k miles between us. We were previously on Octopus Go Faster which gave 5hrs off peak (no longer available) which meant that we split 50/50 our 4400kw usage (we did car and...
Yes I know the principal which is why most divert excess power at the 95% level. At work we have laptops to work out of the office, but when in the office they are ugged into hubs that continue to charge... Its known it reduces the life of the battery for sure, but that's the set up
My wife bought a pre face lift MG5 LR in Dec (I own a 70 plate)
When I set off I always flick the kers/mode to econ & k3, on mine it just says cannot do 3 on 100% (waited to 95%) and off I go. When I did this on my wife's it registered as 3!
Took car into dealer and was with them for 2wks...
I wouldn't worry about it, ive got a 70 plate and top up where I can in short bursts (2hrs here & there) but when I charge overnight I leave it to 100%. This happens around every 3 weeks when it's dropped to around 20%.
I will keep the car for max 10yrs, after that it's not my problem. Anyone...
True, but I never changed my tyres on my leaf and 2 years in on my MG5, he must be in it for the long run. Then again, given his age, my money is on my tyres lol
I've put Nitrogen in my tyres for years, first on my leaf and then my MG5. The theory goes it saves you money in ICE cars, though the rational (reduced weight of fuel) doesn't hold up in an EV obviously. But for me I know the importance of having the correct pressure in tyres so Nitrogen scores...
Until Elon bought Twitter I would have jumped at buying a tesla (preceeding the necessary lotto win of course). But his twitter folly, I couldn't buy one knowing his views on his workers. That's my moral stand, however I do recognise the many strengths And weaknesses of Tesla's
I understand...
Through a cock up by octopus I missed going on the last go faster tariff. All the other plans, including this (though I didn't even have the right charger!) were not great. I ended up on a econ 7 plan (forgot they were still around) My plan is to get solar panels this spring before this plan...
Hell no, why on earth put a distraction in front of you...seriously what is the point, I can say OK Google and the phone will kick in or use my fingers to turn Aircon on
The only 'legality' would come if you were involved in an accident and your insurance saw it & revoked your policy because it was a modification they erred not told about. Even if you did tell them they may say its not an authorised one if MG say its not designed for that...then you might be...
Hi
On a side issue, you should check beforehand with your car insurer. Some (I'm with Privilege) class it as a modification & so charge a premium (£10-20 from memory). I declared it as its worth it so it doesn't invalidate the insurance but I do know some insurance DONT class it as a...
Have you enquired about the Octopus Go Faster tariff , when I moved over they talked about it but the rates weren't advertised...the process was you sign up to standard tariff, once they could see your smart meter data the switched to to 'Go' but then you requested (as an existing customer) yo...
I really depends on the individual, some in South East swear by it if they don't have a home charger or the do high mileage in the SE.
For me it's a big fat no thanks here in my City in Yorkshire. I have a 7kw charger at home, 90% of my mileage is local and there is only 1 rapid here (I have...
Good to hear your sorted, btw if you have a current model (not the one with the app) and you are on a EV tariff like octopus Go Faster, you can set the charger to work at the cheap rate times via podpoint app
I needed a software update on my phone/infotainment system & have taken it in twice yet MG Minstergate haven't been able to do it because of MG server issues. They say it's up then crashes so told me to hand on till they spoke to MG.
Now I've received the recall letter so phoned them after only...
