    Heating/cooling are available direct on the screen and so are other things like navigation, music, etc - if there is anything which needs you to go into a screen, its generally two clicks - one to get to the screen and one to click what you need.

    Very rarely need to press anything to be fair but if that's what you look for, go for it :)

    I gave up!

    We did the same, waited 13 months for a ZS Trophy Connect, got a new Tesla model 3 RWD for 38k direct from Tesla, so roughly 3k more. There is no comparison, the Tesla is miles ahead of the ZS in every way.

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    I'll be honest, we've had no real communication from Panda Swansea. Called them yesterday to cancel my order (Black LR Trophy) and yet again the person who deals with that is not in until Thursday which is the same I've had every time I've called in the past - apparently no-one else can use a...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    New, check on the existing inventory section on their website. £38k for model 3 RWD Vs £35k for MG ZS EV. No brainer. Going fast though, was three available in Cardiff but by the time I got there all had gone but will pick up from Bristol instead. Others available all around the UK though...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    It looks like we'll no longer be joining the MG gang, our order placed in March is still nowhere to be seen so managed to get a Tesla 3 RWD today with a 10% discount (38k). I really did like the MG but at that price its a lot more car for a small increase. Really impressed with the test drive...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    I'll walk away if I need to. If I'm honest I think that's what mg wants though so they can sell them at a premium

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    Fair play to the dealer but they shouldn't be put in that position. So even old orders are not price protected, just furthers my idea that MG do not want to get these orders out to us.

    MG ZS EV Temperature and drastic drop in miles per kWh

    I looked at that and we're getting home batteries fitted which would charge at the cheaper rate and then the house will use them throughout the day. We may look at solar down the road but not worth it at present.

    Octopus energy tariffs

    I don't think you understand how the intelligent tariff works. Intelligent gives you a number of hours at off peak similar to the go tariff, these hours don't change. So you can run your batteries, washing machine, etc during these hours. The hours that your car chargers does change and is...

    Octopus energy tariffs

    Makes complete sense and I agree. I've managed to get a good deal on a solus 6kWh hybrid inverter plus 2xPylontech US5000. ROI under two years. Hopefully it will be worth it!

    Octopus energy tariffs

    We don't know what's down the road but I don't think they'll do that. They want people to use more off peak power and to do that users will need incentives such as allowing battery storage, they even have batteries on their hub page advertising the fact that's what you can use the cheap rate...

    Off-peak battery installation

    Yep. But the cost/ratio just doesn't work out for me and I won't be able to afford the batteries needed to store solar to house batteries and then charge a car from them. Would need a lot of storage to do that. If the car was charging in the day then solar would probably work but the car will...

    Off-peak battery installation

    Thanks for the reply! I spoke to First4Solar last week, they wouldn't install batteries without solar - quoted me £12.5K+VAT for the GivEnergy 9.5 with the 5kWh inverter and Jink panels. Most installers I have had quotes for have said the same, they're just cashing in by up-selling and won't...

    Off-peak battery installation

    We have our ZS LR Trophy on order and have a quote for an Ohme charger so we can go on the Octopus Intelligent tariff. I've done the sums and I want to get a home battery solution which would also charge during the off-peak rate so we can use the cheap rate during the day, minimising the amount...

    Renamed - the immersion heater thread (was about about cost of SVR vs Go)

    Can I ask what sort of set up you have? I was looking at the GivBat 9.2 (getting quotes at the moment) which I could use with solar down the line. I know if I include solar now the battery is zero VAT but don't think it will benefit us at the moment. If Octopus off peak tariffs go north a...

    Renamed - the immersion heater thread (was about about cost of SVR vs Go)

    Also a battery to shift the go rate to the day would also be beneficial - I'm looking at the off peak rate to charge the car every night (100 miles every day usage) and also charge a 10kWh battery and use that in the day. Unsure of whether to use solar as well, at the moment I think its...

    Octopus energy tariffs

    New tariffs are out. Octopus go now 12p off peak, intelligent 10p. So basically car charging overnight up 25%+ Need to revise my spreadsheet to work out costs...
