But the AC won't give you rapid charging, only 7kW maximum for the MG4.

I've just checked out the rapid PodPoint charger at Llandudno Junction Lidl. It's just past the store entrance on the left. It has three cables, AC, Chademo and CCS. So, in effect, rapid charging for one car. You have to use the PodPoint app.

Hi Ralph Further to my post above, I am charging at my accommodation using a granny charger and extension lead using a socket in the hall and the extension cable through the letter box. I have a meter which plugs into the socket, bought from Amazon. The Tesco's PodPoint fast (ie 7 kW) chargers...

We're on holiday in Colwyn at present but have been able to charge at our accommodation which we are paying for. Tried the Tesco's 7 kW PodPoint chargers today but you need to use their app. I'll post more details later.

I think you had it easy. My mother-in-law was a radiographer, starting in the late 1940s. An electric shock flung her to the other side of the room, much to the amusement of the consultant.

My 86 year old neighbour, with many years no claims, has managed to get insurance for £1300 for his Audi. The AA quoted him £3000 and Swinton £5000. When he expressed amazement he was told he would , 'Have to move with the times'.

@DelBoy Other MG4 owners have reported problems with BP Pulse. It would be useful to know what problems have you had, for example with the app, contactless, disconnection, failure to connect? I've used Believ [sic] (7kW), SourceLondon (7kW), Shell (CCS) and GridServe (CCS). All were fine. I...

Thought some drivers might be interested in my weekend journey from Nottingham to Ealing, London and return. I went via the M1, A43 and M40, around 140 miles. To London, I used ACC for the first time and set it at 70mph. I found it very useful and didn't lose concentration as I thought I might...

I suspect the range anxiety with steam engines concerned water more than coal. Long runs required a scoop to be lowered into a trough while at speed, with the water being forced into the tender.

Unfortunately it's easier to make videos than read over 400 pages of manuals.

I've found Google maps, together with ABRP, to be the best at finding charge points.

What emergency car services do you have? Is Denmark relevant?

If you have an MG4 Trophy, swipe the Home Screen left, tap 'Rescue call' and select your country. Using iSmart, tap the bottom right button and tap the headphones top left. Tap the 'Switch Country' button.

I've had problems with BG Customer Services over meter readings when moving to Octopus. I've never come across such incompetence before. Definitely avoid BG.

Fisker has two main dealers, in London and Milton Keynes. For me, that's along way to go for a service.

But, if you have bad arthritis in your fingers, a voice activated glovebox is a good idea. However, I think it's a bit over the top but then I'm not being forced to drive a Tesla... @johnb80 Are you using voice commands? How well do they work?

The Hotspot is useful if your phone is on Pay as you go.

I think the general conclusion is that if a Tesla 3 or Y fulfills your fundamental requirements (price, size, boot opening) don't reject it without an extended testing period.

My wife has argued that LKA needs turning off and Intelligent Speed Limiting needs turning on. While I turn Hotspot on and Auto Lighting off. I'm not complaining but making the point that modern cars are more complex, especially EVs. The combined manuals are over 450 pages. That's complex in my...

I've been pondering a related question, 'Would you advise some one to switch from an ICE to an EV?` After all: EVs are comparatively expensive to buy and, if you can't charge at home, to run Depreciation may be higher ' Range anxiety' can be a problem, but getting less. Possibly more complex...
