Heh ho, Swarco RFID card it is. Not planning to visit Scotland anytime soon but useful to know.

A lot of my journeys now take me to North Wales, especially Anglesey. From previous charges, SWARCO are by far the most reliable, fast (45kw+) and cost effective. To date, I've always used either contactless or the SWARCO app to start and pay for the charge. But what would happen if I couldn't...

Whilst looking for something else in the "download manuals" on the MG UK website (the section where you put your VIN no. in), I came across an update for the nav. Current version in the car is 2022Q1, the update is 2023Q1. For anyone who's done the update, was it worth it and did you notice any...

£59 for FL5 low mileage service on 23.12.23 (y)

The LV policy via A-Plan says, on the top of the insurance certificate, "LV Broker" and underwritten by Highway Insurance Co. Ltd.. I would think Brokers get a better deal than us mere mortals and depends then how much they can give back on the premium, how much they want your business and still...

£396 last year for new FL5, 72 plate, January 2023 reg. Renewal a few days ago, £412. So asked if they could do it for £400 and include this time around, protected NCD and Legal Protection. Broker agreed, so happy days. Maybe worth others trying A-Plan, often overlooked, what's to lose? Ok, has...

I feel your anger Les, getting exactly the same here with FL MG5 and Android.

Availability as in where they are or "are they occupied and in use? Location is via Gridserve website, Gridserve "React" app or ZapMap. To find out if they're in use, I use ZapMap.

Sorry, typo - "0" key on laptop is sticky lol. So 50Kw doh. Post now edited.

First long trip now completed (Shropshire SY4 to London HA4), 165 miles each way and gernerally all went well. Left home with 100%, travelled 150 miles south to Beaconsfield services M40, topped back up to 82%. Two Gridserve 50kw chargers in use at midday, three cars waiting. Drive over to six...

I've covered my "range concern" in another thread but for someone who's about to embark on long regular journeys, I'll only be charging to 80% on fast chargers (80-100% apparently frowned upon by the EV world on public chargers and takes forever?) and running down to c.20%, So in effect, a 60%...

Thanks for the replies so far, much appreciated (y) Most of my round trip journeys will be c.260 miles, so I accept that I'll have to stop once on the way back, no problem. Every two weeks, there'll be a 340 mile journey, 170 miles each way, same route both ways. I guess then it'll be two stops...

In the near future due too work, I'll have to start using the public charging network. Up to now, home charging has served me well and the ability to go to 100% with no time constraints. Now here's where my "range" question gets interesting, bear with me please. The FL 5 has a theoretical range...

In June, I'll need to make a return journey of 350 miles (without the wife as a passenger) but have never needed to use public chargers on shorter sub 200 mile trips. TBH, I'm bricking it. I know I shouldn't worry but having never done it before, it's the unknown that gets me. Zap Map has...

Inshreds - can you post a photo? Would like to compare yours with our Ohme Home Pro.

Just for fun..... Does the Leaf still hold the record and what's the fastest you've been in reverse? Nissan Leaf Sets Reverse Speed Record at Goodwood [video] I tried it the other day on along driveway at work and got up to 15mph and bottled out lol. The acceleration in reverse was just as...

IMO, it's wrong that a third party supplier (the "landlord"?), can charge more than they're been charged for the electricity. Sure, they have to make soime profit to cover the equipment but that can be done via a standard, fixed service cost per charge. Overcharging in the leisure industry is...

Most car dealers, including MG, will do a "whilst you wait" service.

At first glance, I thought it was an MG5 hatchback :D

About four times a year, we visit the wife's mother in rural west Wales and public chargers are sadly lacking. We have time to use the granny charger at MIL's but will need an extension lead to reach the car. Thinking of this extension lead, any thoughts...
