    Late winter/spring - first longer trip to South-West France - some observations ...

    I only used the Electroverse card in France, and had no problems. I thought that the Electroverse card worked on Shell chargers as well? Hopefully they might soon work on Tesla chargers, now that would stir things up.:unsure:

    EV adoption ramping up.

    Seen a very recent increase in our smallish estate, there are at least 5 MG4s (nearly all new model) and same number of Teslas. Also some Leafs (old and new model), probably about 25% BEV's.

    Exactly what I have done, gives the option to charge inside or outside the garage whilst the unit is inside (just inside garage door.

    Upgrade of house main fuse

    I did read on the site that Octopus sparkies are qualified to upgrade the fuse when installing charger?

    The great big insurance rip off

    Got a quote from LV for renewal (2 cars) up by £250 from last year. Went on site and re-pplied as new customer and is £200 cheaper (only difference I can see is additional online discount). LV undertake not to do this so I guess they are just as bad as other companies. Hasting direct was...

    How to use the tyre repair kit supplied with MG cars plus other makes

    Best method to fix MG tyres that have a punture is to use your mobile phone. Call the AA.. Don't be pissing about on the road trying to figure out and fix what is probably unfixable with gunk, you are likely on the fast track to A & E.

    Other car forums and EVs. 🤣

    I have also had an EV since 2015 (first a Zoe). The tide is turning and many of my closer circle are now seriously questioning their position. I do have all the answers to the usual misconceptions and will occasionally amuse myself if a particularly ignorant luddite surfaces. Mostly I just smile...

    Other car forums and EVs. 🤣

    I joined the MG club to access the affinity scheme. I am greatly amused by the magazine, and the original members attempts to grasp the changes that have befallen the MG marque. They are still getting to grips with the rubber bumpers, but are adopting the ostrich approach to the new tranch of...

    Lazy or Just Stupid Media

    You get fined for being parked for over 2-3 hrs in a Tesco car park? So only 14 kw available to charge... not much good.

    Lazy or Just Stupid Media

    I am also not so sure about focus on Motorway chargers. One big change from ICE infrastructure is the benefit of destination chargers rather than the existing ICE model of petrol stations.

    When you get the bill from electroverse then challenge the cost as it should be the same as chargepoint, they just need to update.
