Having owned my MG5 Exclusive for over 2 years now, I have only just realised that the passenger seat appears to have no height adjustment. This realisation has come about as I now take an elderly mate out once a week since he had a medical event, and he can only get into the car head first as...

Apparently Tesla Model X SUVs and Model S are being discontinued in right hand drive. Quite a big decision really so it must be a significant challenge. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/tesla-cancels-right-hand-drive-model-s-and-model-x

I expect lots will have got this message but BP Pulse prices are changing. I don't use them but it doesn't feel like a negative change to me. The headings have misaligned on copy/paste, the second row should shift to the right one ( so AC 7kW is over £0.44) Customer Type Prices to charge...

I put a couple of favourite destinations into Waze the other day - home and work. I connect via AA Wireless. If I use the voice command and say Directions Home, it says calculating directions from <my home road name> to Home, or similar. Same with work. And I don't get a route. Anyone else...

Although I have no imminent plans, someone has told me about this product which might be useful for anyone planning a motorway trip in the above countries. Does anyone have any experience of it?

Even though I don't use it. I thought I'd update the built-in SatNav. I'm using a 16Gb Cruzer Blade USB stick, formatted as FAT32. I have registered an account with Naviextras and selected MG5 EV, and the Toolbox says I have an "MG touch MG5 EV - Europe". So I've done the bit on the car to put...

I'm just looking at my return journey to Berkshire from Scotland on Saturday and the first charge place ABRP offers is the Porsche dealers near Carnforth. Zapmap also shows some around Edinburgh but they appear to be in university areas which in my mind may not be open to the public. Does the...

My cloak of invincibility seems to have stopped working for no apparent reason, should I do the spanner trick or take it back to the dealer? :)

I'm coming up for the first week of the Fringe next month. Staying more or less right on the Royal Mile, but down the "far end" such that I can avail myself of the reserved parking at our apartment. So I would like to leave Edinburgh with 100% charge, and I'm not going to do that by hanging...

I know I'd end up like this but I could be tempted with one of these https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/352253/new-electric-mg-cyberster-roadster-take-brand-back-its-roots

OK it's by Shell so has some bias but here is a useful little guide for anyone intending travelling abroad with their EV. https://shellrecharge.com/en-gb/blogs/a-complete-guide-to-electric-car-charging-costs-in-europe

There is frequently discussion here on ekeing out range at the expense of speed. Over a long mainly motorway journey I wondered how much difference it would make. As it's impossible to do the same journey twice in identical conditions, I plotted a route from my home town to Edinburgh using...

This boot liner is just £10.50 on Amazon at the moment. I doubt it'll be that price for long. I wasn't really in the market for one but at that price it was rude not to. I realise it won't be good enough for many but the reviews are, on the whole, good. Normal price is £21.49

This had crossed my min before and has just been mentioned in another post. If you were renting a flat would you feel OK charging your EV using the granny charger, without declaring it to the renter or paying any extra? I only ask as I will be driving to Edinburgh for the Fringe and we're in a...

I know there is a lot of chat around range but I've just done a middle-of-the-night drop-off at Luton airport (maybe 120 miles round trip) at 70mph on cruise control (mostly, except speed limited bits) on empty motorways and got 2.9m per kwh, giving a range (in current conditions) of something...

Driving round the M25 at around 70 today I noticed two yellow triangles had come on in the dashboard. I reckon they'd come on at the same time, and later in the journey I noticed they'd both gone off. The book says the lower one will illuminate when the speed limit sign currently recognised has...

It feels like many EV drivers are on a mission to absolutely maximise their range/minimise their cost by sacrificing warmth, comfort, travel time, fun etc etc. I'd be tending towards this if I knew I had to "public charge" on a long trip but how many ever even thought or cared about it when...

As the title says - despite whatever I set the maps to in the cars satnav , and the display to on the phone, when I use Waze (or Google Maps) the on-screen display is dark mode, or night time, and I can barely see it when it's sunny. I do have the phone in dark mode but Waze on the phone works...
