I like the fact that I now get to choose how fast I drive. With my previous leaf an economy of 3 mi/kWh meant a range of only 50 miles so I was forced to drive everywhere slowly. Choosing to drive slowly is nicer than having to drive slowly.

I regularly switch between driving fast and slow on the motorway depending on my mood or situation. This last weekend we went to Snowdonia for a bit of mountain walking, 190miles round trip. On the way there I drove at the speed limit as we were racing the weather and managed 3.3 mi/kWh, the...

This is an interesting video:

I have mine at 2.9 bar and there is no alarm

Thanks. So your fix was to manually lock the car before pressing the brake pedal?

I thought the same so made a point of removing the key from my pocket and placing it in the cup holder. It still did it.

My MG4 Trophy has occasionally been showing this weird behaviour of randomly beeping it's horn twice in quick succession shortly after starting to drive as if it is trying to lock itself. Has anybody else had this happen? I don't think it is a problem with the door buttons or keys as I have...

Mine has also been doing this occasionally. I think I'll start a new thread to see if anybody else has had it happen and whether there is a solution.

I use 10A at home when I'm awake, 8A when we are asleep or at somebodies else's house and 6A if I visit a caravan or somewhere else with limited power.

Here you go.

It is remarkably similar, but there was no damage to the suspension on ours. It always amazes me how good the repairers are. It now looks just like the day we collected it again.

This is the damage that my wife caused by launching ours into a brick wall. It wasn't a write off and it was delivered back to us today in perfect condition 26 days after being authorised by the insurance company. I was expecting longer.

It's not a video but the attached paper has a lot of the answers that you want. Start at section 7.1 unless you are into modelling. The colourmaps are really useful once you get your head around them. This table summarises the results quite well: It shows that the only thing that stresses...

It does actually do around 50 mpg on long motorway journeys at 70mph. The problem is with my daily short journeys where it doesn't get a chance to warm up. The 7 cold starts per day can't be doing the engine much good either.

I'm currently driving a Skoda Fabia courtesy car with a wltp mpg of ~50mpg but getting <25mpg due to lots of short journeys. This morning was particularly bad on the nursery run: I make that 74 miles of range from it's 45l tank 😬

The only way to check for balancing is to look at the difference between the highest and lowest cell voltages as that is what really matters. One might track the voltage difference (at a given SOC) over time to see whether it increases, or decreases, depending on the charging routine. The time...

I agree with all that, it's so obvious to us who have real experience. Although I called him an idiot I do admire the fact that he's getting anti EV people to pay for his car that I think he secretly likes. My dad recommended him to me initially but the last time I asked him about one of his...

I know, he's an idiot. Is it you he keeps mentioning? If it is your doing a stellar job (y)

I want to know how likely it is that the charger will be free when I get there. I don't like the idea of reservations, but I would like the sat nav to take onto account how many others were navigating to it to predict the probability of it being available when I arrive and suggest better...

Are people with £25k + cars really finding pre authorisation charges a problem? It's only a few hundred pounds, even on a really long journey. It's not like it's months until you get it back.
