Hi All, I bought an ex-showroom trophy a couple of weeks ago. We’ve been having a bit of a ‘too and fro’ with the dealer trying to get to the bottom of our settings page on the infotainment system. I’m pretty sure it’s locked in some kind of Showroom mode. The dealer just told us to turn off all...

Me too.

It is some type of traffic light sensor coils under the road that interferes with the signal to the SOS network. It depends on how you are positioned over the coil and if there is already a weak signal in that area. When they designed the light sensors they had no clue cars would start...

You don't need pre-authorisation for any Fuel purchase or any other non-online service/product either. So why do they feel the need to do so for Charging?

Or just a bank card with no sign up, like, oh, I don't know, every other purchase you make including Fuel! 🙄

Also, if you haven’t charged using their app in a while (more than a week or two) they will give you 25% off your next charge. You can collect ‘stars’ for completing ‘tasks’ and uploading photos of chargers and these add up to other discounts, usually free kW credited to your account. I charge...

A batteries optimal charging temperature is 30•c. Not ambient temperature but battery temperature. MG (nor most other manufacturers) do not precondition their batteries for charging (only really Tesla do). So they are generally either too hot or too cold. NONE of the chargers single out a car...

There is the caveat here that says ‘under certain conditions’.

That is such a stupid thing to do. I hope lots of high co2 car owners do this and wreck their engines, exhausts and fuel tanks. Detergents cling to liquids and damage metal when sat for a long time. And when you burn it it becomes even more corrosive to metal work. So, say goodbye to the oil...

If any of you are visiting Fully Charged this weekend, the MG stand outside next to the Tesla test drive area are giving away MG goodie bags with branded key rings, caps, pens and travel cups. You can also get to test drive the new MG5 or ZS. Lots of cool new tech to see throughout the show as well.

There is some incorrect information here. AC 3phase CAN go above 7kW. Single phase AC is limited to 7kW because of the 32Amp limitations of your supply. 32A x 240v = 7.68kW Three phase AC is capable of 3x 32A x 240v which is 23.04kW but because of the 97% we can get from 3phases it gets...

Or you can avoid brining politics to the forum when it is not necessary. ☺️ Some of us get a feed and can’t just ‘avoid’ posts. We have to scroll past them. Forum rule number 1: must not submit libellous, insulting, antagonistic, racist, aggressive or otherwise abusive Content about any...

Did you mean white ‘Shaving’ foam spray?

Is it just the tyre or the whole wheel?

Hehe 🙃 that’s funny. We do often hear of people not able to start a charge. But not being able to end one. Great story. Thanks for the share.

This is all very tedious. Can we keep politics off of this forum please. There’s plenty of other places for it. Thanks 😊

Someone mentioned earlier that it’s 10p/mile on their tariff. Just remember that with petrol at an average of 156.9 now, at 30mpg that’s an average of about 24.08p per mile. Using Bonnet exclusively at the moment at 25p/kWh I get 8.33p/mile (at 3.0miles/kW). It’s worth remembering also that...

Hehe. Yep, you’re the only EV driver that has ever noticed this. 😜

Going back to your AIrCon statements, it won’t matter what speed your fan runs at. The AC affects HVAC energy in such a minor way it is barely perceptible in comparison with the motors. The fans are run off the 12V it is apparent from my tests. The HVAC powers the AC compressor and is either...
