Hi all, haven't posted for a while but thought I'd share my 6 month update. Firstly I log everything so below is my costs split by business/personal mileage which are outstanding (I'd put £80 in for 400 miles in my last vehicle). Business Miles 4,792 Cost of Business Miles £134.46...

Hi all, switched to Go when my car arrived a few weeks ago. Have been waiting for my first bill to arrive so I could switch to Go Faster, as I specifically wanted it to start at 09:30 to maximise the savings and offset the higher daily rate. Unfortunately in that time the prices have risen, so...

Just noticed that my Sync EV app has updated and now there is no pulse/trickle charge menu. Just an option within the power management screen: Great news for those with a Sync EV charger and fingers crossed they are heading in the right direction since the buyout 👍🏻🙂 Seems they are also...

I've always been led to believe that to use Intelligent Octopus you need a Tesla or Wallbox Pulsar and an IOS device. However, Octopus have been pushing 'Intelligent' in the app the last few weeks and I decided to take a look. Some of the terms and FAQs on the app seem different to that on the...

Yes, announced yesterday... "Sync EV is proud to announce that it has been acquired by Luceco Plc. Sync EV will now partner with brands such as BG & Masterplug to develop and deliver an exciting future" Interesting that a company with such large brand names under it's belt wanted Sync EV. I...

Hi all, noticed the Octopus Go website updated today with new rate info. The message that you can't switch also seems to have gone (from this page at least). Rates for my area shown below as an example but you can obtain your own from this link: https://octopus.energy/go/

Wasn't aware of this myself but it looks at though the business mileage rate has been raised from 4p to 5p. Whilst not a massive increase it does help a little when the cost of electricity is on the rise. Still doesn't cover those of us who need to use rapids when on work trips, but should...

Very interesting that today according to What Car the Renault Zoe was given a 0 star Euro NCAP rating. That must be worrying for owners! Any ideas on when the MG5 will be tested?

Interesting government update published today on the competitiveness of the Motorway Charging network: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-to-open-up-electric-vehicle-charging-competition-on-motorways "We believe that opening up competition on motorways, while ensuring the sector has...

Hi all, first post but lurking for a few months. Awaiting an MG5 LR. Looking at home chargers and was going for Hypervolt but have been quoted £900 for a 'standard' install by their local approved supplier. I then stumbled across this offer, and wondered if anyone had a Ohme Home Pro and what...
