    The car as a person - or possibly a pet

    I hope that you get better soon. My car is called Chippy, which was my nickname at school as it has the letters HCP in the registration and those letters also appear in my surname. On a completely unrelated matter, I am fascinated by the number of messages that you have posted. You have been...

    Are used car prices coming down?

    I am tracking my ZSEV through Arnold Clark as I await delivery of my MG4 in January. The value has dropped over the last two months but not by much. Then again any reductions in the trade in value are offset by the reductions that I owe to the finance company. I have also calculated my likely...

    Official Plug In Car Grant (PICG) Thread

    I saw this earlier today and initially thought that it was for orders placed before a certain date that had been delayed. Now that I have read it I am not so sure.

    MG4: Long journey charging: what can we expect?

    I have had my Mk1 ZSEV since June 2021 and planning is the key thing. My first long journey was from Sheffield to Bamburgh and I planned it carefully using Zap Map. There were no issues. However on the return journey I had to revert to my back up plan as the car would not charge at Wetherby...

    Best Home Charger Choices ? -So many negative app reviews :(

    Hypervolt. The company has a 5* Trustpilot rating. There is a Facebook group and if any issues arise then the CEO will address them. Mine has worked perfectly since I got it.

    Free Charge Point

    I had a 2 hour charge but came across a couple of problems. Before I went shopping I confirmed the charge on the app. However, when I returned the charge had stopped. I started it again. I did not get many miles though because of this as I was in the shop for over 30minutes. When I was finished...

    Has owing an EV or PHEV made you more conscious of home energy use?

    I never used to bother with what we were paying as my wife paid the energy bills. However, since getting my EV I have become more conscious of what we pay. Our contract with our current supplier runs out soon and I need to get my arse into gear and research who we will be moving to,

    Winter Tyres

    Although it is not yet time to switch to winter tyres I am looking for some advice. Prior to getting my ZS EV I drove a ICE ZS. I have a set of winter tyres in storage. The tyre sizes between the two cars are identical and my question is - will I be able to get my ICE tyres fitted to my ZS EV...

    You can begin the move 49 days before your contract is due to expire. I have a S1 meter so will not be able to go to a off peak tariff straight away.

    BS Guy Martin on Ch 4

    There were one or two interesting bits but on the whole it was very disappointing. Lots of scenes set up especially when GM stopped to charge the Ioniq at Penrith. He could not get the charger at Morrisons to work so went across the road to Booths and used an Instavolt instead. The two...
