They are not free, they are not as signage on carpark states, ‘ just plug in and go shop’ You will require a card to use these units. When I asked in store this was the case, they stated you needed a card...

    MG ZS ev Brake disk corrosion

    This is a Known issue on EV’s as most of your braking is done by the regen on the motor which means your actual brakes are used very little, therefore are more prone to rusting/ sticking thru lack of use. I was advised when first getting an EV to once a week do at least one journey with no regen...

    Octopus Energy

    I have been with Octopus since Dec 2020 first on the Agile Rate then on the Go rate. After numerous e mails over the period since December regarding high usage levels and getting fobbed off. I very recently was able to prove that my usage readings on my meter was exactly double what they should...

    Scottish members- where are you?

    I have had my ZS EV since August. My wife drives it most of the time as I am a Driving Instructor and have a Seat Leon as my work car. It will be sold this year as it is my intention to retire this year, so we will share the MG after that or possibly argue who’s car it is. The Leon has...

    MG HS PHEV plug in hybrid coming to the UK

    I would be more interested in an HS EV with a bigger battery and longer range than the ZS. Now that would interest me. Afraid you can keep the PHEV, just don’t see the point really

    Octopus Go or Agile

    I look at this way, we have had a washing machine, dishwasher for our entire life and never had so much as a fuse blow so the likelihood of one of these appliances blowing up is extremely remote unless it’s a whirlpool appliance. ( don’t trust them at all) As to the tumble dryer we would never...

    Octopus Go or Agile

    I went on to the Agile tariff earlier this month and I do not know if the rates are higher in December but I think I would have been cheaper on the go tariff this past month. The overnight rates have never been lower than 6.05p and that was last night only, the average overnight rate for the...

    apple car play

    There is a feature on your phone to allow car play when your phone is off. I do find my one is a bit touch and go sometimes it connects without doing anything and there is the odd occasion I have to open the phone for it to connect, not bad enough to make an issue of it.

    Test drive that wasn't

    Yup, this is the downside of test driving EV’s, can’t just pop along and put petrol in it. If the dealership has f**ked up the booking for said Test drive it is a major inconvenience. I had a similar situation when I went for test drive, give the Sales Manager his due he telephoned a customer...
