Hi, 2nd attempt as somehow lost my response before submitting. I have a Motorola edge and the same thing started a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that whilst it lost GPS the phone screen was slightly flickering. I removed the case and thoroughly cleaned it and the phone. So far no problems...

Hi, Not sure if it would help but I use an app called glovebox. I started making a spreadsheet, but unlike the ones I made for ice cars, found it hard to figure out how best to record things. Anyway, happy with the app so far. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.airis.glovebox

Hi, Currently have an untethered SyncEV charger, with the latest software it works okay, albeit with limited ability to change the charge current during a session. I have solar so now considering the wallbox as it looks to be both able to adjust the current and has the ability to support solar...

Hi Alun, I don't think using a Zappi will cause any increased battery degradation as it changes the amount of power that goes into the car as the excess solar output varies. There will of course be times that it stops and starts completely, I believe the duration of this can be adjusted but I...

Agree on the elevated cost of the cable. I'm more concerned about the damage it could cause if someone tries.

Hi everyone, Just read this article: "Now thieves have a new target - your electric car's charger cable" Now thieves have a new target - your electric car's charger cable I know most cars lock the cable in, wondering how strong this is and what kind of damage could be done if someone tries to...

Hi, I thought 3 phase was compatible with single phase but gave you the option of faster charging if you later changed to a car that supported it? Apologies if I got this wrong. "Which EV Charging cable should I buy? - EasbyEV" Which EV Charging cable should I buy? - EasbyEV

Saw this on a Facebook post so found the original article. COP26: Should you be worried about diminishing electric car battery life? – Which? News

I don't miss the smell or the annoyance of standing in spilt diesel. So much easier to plug in as you need at home.

Just a reminder if you are thinking of getting a home charger fitted. This has to be installed by end of march 22.

Same here, today was much milder and the miles per kWh were much greater. Just need to factor it in when traveling. Still loads cheaper than ice though 😄

Hi, I've only used this on ice cars and it did a great job of protecting the calipers and discs free from corrosion. Yet to see how it does on the MG. As you point out it's much harder to get at the areas you can't see. I guess you could use something like this to apply...

Hi, Good idea to use the brakes regularly. I've used this for some time to prevent rust starting on the discs and calipers. Water based and simply spray on occasionally through the alloys. Works very well and a bottle lasts a long time. Bilt Hamber Atom Mac Migratory Contact Corrosion...

Thanks Alb, that makes it easier. Agree for me by comparing to Go it's not a good deal, I initially thought it was every day. Jimarkh, best to contact them about gas only but again for me Octopus fixed is 3p a unit with a cheaper standing charge. I did fix ahead of the price rises so that may...

Hi, Google zap flash and a PDF of the rates table is available, varies by region. There's a post on another forum that came up, looks like the window is only one day a week which if true makes it less appealing, especially as they let you know when which indicates it's different each time.

Hi all, Saw this, maybe of interest: FleetNews: Electric vehicle drivers can charge for free thanks to new tariff. https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/latest-fleet-news/electric-fleet-news/2021/04/13/electric-vehicle-drivers-can-charge-for-free-thanks-to-new-tariff From what I can see standing...

Many thanks. Yes I got it working. As you say it's the right hand socket. Tried a combination of different cables etc before it started working, now it's rock solid and works really well. The symbol confused me as to me it indicates the left hand socket. All in very impressed, Thanks again...

Hi Angelo, Just taken the plunge on a Sync EV charger. The choice is quite large and growing so hopefully it's the right one for my needs. Will know more in 10 days. Mind you something is better than nothing! All the best.
