    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    In answer to your question, yes. MG4 all through 2023, Zappi V2. If it's a blue sky day I have left it plugged in, if there are lots of fluffy cumulus to occasionally stop the charge I keep it unplugged. Came to the conclusion last summer that the car will tolerate so many stop starts and then...

    Close to zero?

    Didn't book, just turned up having found it on the app map. It's a bit out of the way in the carpark of a Tesla building, don't think it was a showroom though. Low risk choice as there are many chargers within a mile.

    Close to zero?

    Don't ignore Tesla as an option, returning down the M5 Sunday afternoon at about 4:30 I sought out the Tesla chargers at Cribs Causeway as I thought why pay 79p when I can pay fifty something per kWh. How surprised was I to find I'd been charged just 38p, half the price that Gridserve would have...

    MG4 Charging port lights stopped working

    Personally, I think the cleaning is probably unnecessary, taking the fuse out almost certainly just does a number one fix on a subsystem the control's the lights - ie number one fix, turn it off and on again. Glad it's sorted

    Cobham M25 services for EV charging

    Oh absolutely, prior arrangement and respect essential. Initially it was personal contact by listed phone number or email in the ZapMap details recently they've added services like Just park for pre arranged booking but I prefer the personal contact. Different hosts have different motives for...

    Cobham M25 services for EV charging

    Nooo, you miss my point or I just failed to convey it clearly enough. Slow chargers are just as valuable as rapids on a beyond range journey, especially if it's an overnighter. I don't use them because they're cheaper, although that's always a bonus, they're actually more convenient. I set off...

    Cobham M25 services for EV charging

    Slow chargers at a destination are a great thing to look out for. I have three recurring 300 & 400 mile journeys in our SE and I've found type 2s at all of them so I don't have to stop on the return leg and it's Cheaper. Chiswick, West London, Surecharge have quite a few lamp posts at about...

    Disappointing range indication

    We've probably all been thought the OMFG what have I done buying this car moment, can I have my old car back please. Learning to drive is a learning process, living with an EV is quite a learning process as well - but worth it and you only have to do it once. I think a big question is not...

    MG4 EV windscreen wipers stopped working

    So you've a car you can't use unless there's no rain in the forecast? If you cannot force your will onto the supplying dealer to resolve it PDQ, then I'd go to a trusted independent, it's just a car & just a wiper mechanism, there is a good chance they'll get you going until the Main Waster...

    Driving to Cornwall

    Well done, it's best to aim for the bigger sites with more than two chargers like Membury. You only have the more than N charger filter in ZapMap of you pay for premium but if you use ZM in conjunction with the Electroverse app, then the latter does have a similar filter for number of chargers...

    Driving to Cornwall

    Teals isn't yet on ZapMAp but it'll be good when open and fill a bit of a gap on that part of the A303, although there are 2xInstas at Sparkford McDonalds, it's my unfounded prejudice that McD chargers will always be ICE'd. Called on the 4xFastned in Andover and used the 4xOsprey Wincanton...

    MG4 Charging port lights stopped working

    Removing the fuse or battery terminal are both versions of the same No.1 fix ie powering systems off and then back on again. The suggestion earlier in this thread is that if the fuse alone resolves to problem then it's less invasive removing the need to recalibrate windows, steering etc...
