    If you break down, beware!

    I feel your pain re bad communication - I had an issue with my infotainment and it took several months of “we need to email MG” - “we heard back from MG, we need to see your car, earliest appointment is in 3 weeks” - “so we’ve looked at the car and emailed MG” - “they’ve replied and we’ll try an...

    Is it possible to totally run an EV on just a Granny charger? 🤔

    Yes. We just use the granny charger on Octopus Go - 4 hours of 9p /kWh gives 15% on standard range MG5. We have it on a digital timer plugin. Used it like that for the last 6 months and always been fine. 7 days a week, it works out at basically 1 full run of 215 miles each week, for a total of...
