    Nov 17th Budget - Tax impact for EVs

    Really ? That's your response as a mature adult. Referencing cars by their means of propulsion is too much for you to cope with and you find it 'amusing', but referring to them as "proper cars" is your sensible approach to their nomenclature ? Which also leaves the meaning fully open to...

    Nov 17th Budget - Tax impact for EVs

    Not to kick off any sort of argument again, but I am genuinely interested what your issue is with "I.C.E.". you appear to have mentioned it a few times. At the risk of sounding condescending, you do understand it stands for 'Internal Combustion Engine', so I don't see why you seem to reference...

    360 Cameras why are we not able to record the feeds?

    I agree that it would seem easy (without any clue as to what was actually involved), very useful and a good use of the existing hardware. I suspect it's harder to achieve than I realise though as I'm pretty sure MG aren't alone in not making this use of on board cameras. Regardless of it's...

    Charging small electrical devices

    Apologies if this shouldn't sit here, but I thought some of the battery experts on here might advise. I've got a pair of bluetooth earphones. Very cheap from Amazon, but they do the job. I've had them maybe a year and so and still doing well, but I was wondering the best way to charge them...

    Charging across Europe

    I'm not sure the picture gives all the info I was asking about, but I might not be looking in the correct place. You travelled 624.9 miles in 11 hours, averaging 56mph, but stopped 6 times, (on top of that 11 hours?). How long was each stop ?

    Charging across Europe

    What was the total time to travel the 600miles and what where the charging durations ?

    Can i take my Wallbox EV charger when i move home?

    Did you get proper legal advice, or did you find you could get a new one first?

    Can i take my Wallbox EV charger when i move home?

    It's fixed and wired to the house, therefore it stays with the house unless you've specifically stated that you're taking it. By the logic that its not mentioned at all, means you can take it with you is rubbish. Have you mentioned every electrical socket inside the house in the documents ? Does...

    Cost of charging a BEV

    I wouldn't argue with that, I did think about doing it that way, but decided to stick with your original method, but throw in HGV's.

    Cost of charging a BEV

    I think you're maths is a bit out. In Great Britain, there were 31.9 million cars (81.7 per cent), 4.4 million LGVs (11.3 per cent), 0.5 million HGVs (1.3 per cent), 1.3 million motorcycles (3.4 per cent), 0.14 million buses & coaches (0.4 per cent) and 0.78 million other vehicles (2 per cent)...

    Check your Free AA Cover

    Can I just say that while I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiments expressed by Gomev & Les, it appears to me a little like you are having a go at Mach13, especially in conjunction with ShrinkProof's comment. I don't believe that was intentional, and you are just expressing your...

    Check your Free AA Cover

    Regarding the membership, even if what they say is accurate (does sound ropey, but I could possibly see that MG would expect dealers to sort out their own breakdown cover if they own the car) the representative of the dealer (the salesman) told you, you had the cover, unless they're going to...

    Check your Free AA Cover

    When you found out you weren't covered by the AA, is there a reason you didn't sign up there and then ? I can't imagine it would have cost more than £200, and you would have got attended to straight away without an overnight trip. I'm surprised the AA never suggested it...

    Automatic Battery Swaps instead of charging

    We all seem to be thinking the same thing, but people are investing money in the system, millions I would expect. They must see something in it. Perhaps it's an advertising scheme as much as anything else, to convert ICE owners. The opportunity of a 5 minute 'recharge' gets them to switch from...

    Take care out there! This from "The Register"

    Without examining it too closely, they are following the rules of the road, as the highway code indicates that they should be riding two abreast on "narrow lanes". Rule 213: On narrow sections of road, on quiet roads or streets, at road junctions and in slower-moving traffic, cyclists may...

    Automatic Battery Swaps instead of charging

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61310513 What are people's thoughts on these Automatic Battery Swaps for EV's. Is this the future or a pointless exercise ? It seems to me to be a bit pointless. As battery technology improves, range will improve, and presumably charging times will decrease...

    Tesla Supercharger Sites for 3rd parties

    You're assuming everyone can charge at home. The majority of people with EV's up until recently will probably have bought them based on their use case, ie people with home charging available and/or lower mileage. As EV ownership increases, there will therefore be much higher numbers of owners...

    EV Costs

    Does the cap apply to this tracker, which seems like the best of all worlds ? Or the fact that it's a tracker presumably mean, that it could rise above the cap ? Edit: appreciate that you've said probably best to call, but if it came up.

    EV Costs

    It is listed as a current tariff, as I said though perhaps the website is out of date, as you need to actually call them to sign up, and there are repeated warnings that you are probably better staying where you are and benefitting from the price cap, so it seems unlikely that this is so far...

    EV Costs

    Thanks for this, finally managed to track down some rates, one at the top of the list seems too good to be true though. (Perhaps out of date?). Octopus Tracker v3 Electricity 18.08p/kWh Gas - 2.74p/kWh Currently paying 27.84p & 7.336p. If they are out of date though, it perhaps puts in to...
