    Cobham M25 services for EV charging

    FYI I charged at Cobham Sunday before last on the gridserve chargers an paid with Mastercard credit card. Electroverse didn't work but never has for me. Think I was on the 150kw charger. It was early Sunday so only one other charging. Got a peak of 70kw on my mg5 LR.

    Octopus Intelligent Go says No

    The car also displays SoC in % if I park it at 40% and I want to charge to 80%. I just select 40% in the app and let it dispatch the charging slots.

    Automatic headlight sensitivity

    Do see this occasionally on my mg5. 12v never been disconnected since I picked it up new APR 22. Dips and bends in the road, other non vehicle lighting seem to confuse the auto dip system from time to time.

    My car doesn't like the cold.

    I see similar in mine. I think the wiper blades get quite stiff when cold and don't wipe the glass in front of the camera. Software detects and then all the warnings ⚠️.

    New to Android Auto - any tips?

    The Tomtom app is my preferred sat nav for Android auto. It costs £12.99/yr but maps are offline and I think its better guidance visually than Google maps.

    Using Solar to charge your MG5

    Our roof faces south-south-east so output tails off from mid afternoon. A modest battery ~5Kwh to cover the peak 4pm to 8pm (Agile Octopus) would average the import cost down to below what we get back from export most of the time. What I like about the zappi is the automated management of the...
