I got this one from Screwfix ………. MASTERPLUG 13A 1-GANG UNSWITCHED EXTENSION LEAD 10M (44635) Its £17.64 at the moment. Very good buy. Never use an ordinary extension, this one is heavy-duty. Lots of EV owners have bought it from my extensive reading about the subject.

Apart from a few free charges at supermarkets, I have been using the granny for the last nine months. I was originally going to use money saved up to install a home charger but a few hefty dental bills due to moving and unable to get an NHS one and a hefty private operation to pay for in the...

I’ve had courtesy cars offered over the years ranging from ‘free’ at Skoda to ‘£20’ at Mercedes! At the Mercedes, I decided to take a walk first, then came back to finish my wait with a good book!

Thanks mate! We often stay at the Travelodge at Excel but no charger as upset! Might try Novotel next time as I believe they have one although it is not on Zap-Map yet. Quite a few chargers missing off it, I find.

Do you mind telling me where you stayed at in London that had a charger available? We usually stay near Excel and take the DLR in but now we’ve got an EV the hotel having a charger is important. The only hotel in the Excel area with charging is the Hampton by Hilton but that’s a little pricey...

Just about what I wrote in my post!

Battery health? Warm before you start charging? What is this? Plug it in! Get some leccy juice to power it up. Take the plug out. Get in. Put it in drive. Off you go. Not many miles left on guessometer on your dashboard? Repeat the process. Easy as pie!

Hi there Alan! A very warm welcome to you, welcome to the forum! We are all quite tolerant on here so don’t hesitate to ask any question, no matter how trivial or maybe stupid it seems - one of us will probably have had the same question in our early days as well! Are you also new to...

And it’s good to have another lady joining this mainly man club! We need the feminine point of view and comments on here!

And a warm welcome from me as well! Something that you need to do is to keep your fingers crossed regarding the delivery date! Many members have of course commented upon how ‘fluid’ the actual delivery date will be. I suppose that you shouldn’t hold your breath either as that original October...

When I was looking, way back in August, the MG5 had a wait of about three to four months. On the same day, rang up a Kia dealers to be told that their wait was well over five to six months for an e-Niro! Similar sort of waits for other brands was given when I rang them up. I’d already decided on...

I just call my MG5 ‘My Car’!

I agree with the bit about McDonalds. I hate the stuff they peddle but they are putting in chargers! Nearby in Lincoln, they have just installed a new set of two chargers with four connectors. They are situated in the retail park where Sainsburys is - a supermarket that is particularly laggard...

Its about 77 miles and most of it is M4! So roughly 160 miles round trip.

This is the right approach to take! Quite a few chargers available usually just a short distance from a junction, often with a better choice of food that’s cheaper as well! When I was driving an ICE in the 90s and 00s I used a website on the laptop, that gave petrol stations very close to the...

And don’t forget that you have this MG AA assistance!

Maybe disconnect the 12v battery and try again?

We are creeping up into the play-offs but, like your lot, our record in them is not good!

I’m rechargeable in many ways about the house apart from the MG5. I also have a rechargeable mower, hedge cutter, strimmer, beard trimmer, several torches, worklights and many rechargeable NimH batteries for all sorts of things!

This is an excellent app mate! I must put it on my phone forthwith. Now if we can use it or something similar to message ICE drivers who park in EV charging spaces we have all bases covered! Incidentally after Spurs whopping Leeds, I was hoping that you could pick up some points this afternoon...
