All the while demand outstrips supply, as it does now, don't expect a discount whether paying by cash (bank TX) or credit/PCP as there will be a queue of people behind you any garage can sell to at full price.

Sadly, whilst not common, your experience is certainly not unique. the French would not stand for after departure bills either, so I guess she felt it was OK to try it on with non-French, whihc is a real shame. Hopefully this one bad apple won't sour your opinion of the country and you'll return...

You are correct that generation costs here are lower, France gets 70% of its electricity from nuclear power. It has 56 nuclear reactors, 12 of which have been offline for several years due to corrosion issues, while others are currently undergoing maintenance. Electricity generation is still...

Was the owner Fench? I ask this because there are generally significant differences between the way the French owned vs 'foreign' owned gites are let/managed. In general, the French provide nothing, no bin liners, tea towels, towels, linen etc. and the renters are expected to bring/provide all...

Yes there have been, but our government has already spent billions and capped them at 4% and not the near 200% (over a 12 month period) like the UK.

I would say that's pretty fair, especially if you allowed for charging loss as per @BugEyed post. Allowing for rates of around €0.19 - €0.21 per kWh (thank you gov't for the 4% price cap!), 35kWh here would be around €8 - €9 inc. taxes (electricity rates differ between areas base upon local...

It's very easy, read the meter. As a gite owner here in France believe me, by the time the taxes (which are rudely high here), licences, insurance, cleaning, maintenance, breakages etc. are taken into account, that £1000 very quicky becomes £250-300. If that's someones income, chopping a...

You have to do this as well on the ZS, in fact, we have to turn i t off twice as the first time it immediatly switches back to on (perhaps this is by design to make sure you really meant to turn it off?), but basically, it's totally useless and if left on just leaves an icon of the wrong speed...

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: - Good luck with that one!

As the facelift is not in the UK yet, I doubt anywhere will stock towbars until they are (places like Witter etc. will have to have access to a car to prototype the bars etc.) and be aware that if you fit one to your pre-facelift car as it's not rated to tow, even if using for a bike rack, you...

Don't get your hopes too high with the app. Here in France even the top spec MG5 only has the 'lite' version of the app so I would expect no different for the UK (app specs and differences here: MG iSMART - Recharge yourself) - strange as the ZS has both versions, the lower spec getting the...

It appears that Luscombe are accepting orders for the facelift MG5 from today - UK deliveries beginning Q1 2023. https://www.luscombemotors.co.uk/mg/new/new-mg-5-ev?fbclid=IwAR28KdBdx8c3I969Wecsyl2pqLp8HVXyYEJxC034xWvsQbJlW-lKkT-JM_I

EU standard is Type 2. Can we move on now please?

As I said, IF you are considering a purchase - AFAIK, MG have stopped orders for the MG5LR in the UK now (well, according to Miles they have), so the next version you can order is this one, exactly the same as the photo which comes to the UK in late 2022. Apart from the steering wheel being on...

That's an MG France promotional photo, so I assume that the towbar is factory (well, dealer) fit.

Application Programming Interface - provided by a vendor (of stuff or software) to allow other software writers access to certain parts of thier software/data in a structured way.

For what it's worth, if you are considering a purchase, rather than already owning, the new MG5 that we have here in France has a 500kg tow rating.

That's like saying there are too may sunny days in the year 😂

And THIS is just one of the millions of things that are wrong with EV charging and why, until it is addressed, EV take up will remain niche - can you imaging driving into a filling station and, before you were allowed to pour 70-odd litres of squashed dinosaurs into your car the garage attendant...

Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple all know far more about me that I know about myself, why on earth would I be worried if the Chinese govt was interested in what I'm up to? And if they are, they really need to spy on more interesting people!
