I was told the main battery has the same specifications as a submarine as regards protection against water ingress. There is also a famous clip of a Tesla driving through water over its front bonnet in a submerged underpass passing other nearby stranded ICE cars.

Just had my second servoce at Hendy Exeter, very reasonable charge of £138 and completed the job while you wait.

My second service booked in at Hendy's and quoted a Silver service at £195

I invested £3K which should generate 5,000 kWh about half of my energy use. They say that should give me a savings rate of 6.40p/kWh or £327 in the first year. Kirk Hill has been delayed a month so should see a return starting from next January. Also have solar panels and home battery which...

I am very grateful to ACC. Yesterday, on a dual carriageway a car in front stopped suddenly (looks like it had missed a turning) I was looking at console at the time and my brakes came on a second before I saw the hazard and a collision was avoided. It was the first time in 18mths ownership...

I have had my MG5 for a year now and what I do like about it in this cold weather is to put defroster and heated seats on 5 minutes before use and you get into a warm and derosted car, no need to scrape off the ice!

My "new" 7.5p rate kicked in a few weeks ago. Haven't been using the car since then as had Covid :(

Topped up my MG5 last night with the 7.5p/kWh new rate. Put in 26.9kWh at a cost of £2 which is 65p more than the old rate, but still a saving on petrol/diesel equivalent.

Has anyone used the Electric Miles app? I've just downloaded it and can't see any benefits to the Project-EV app I had with my charger: Dear Project EV Customer, Thank you for your continued support as a Project EV customer. Energy costs are rising so to help you better manage your EV...

Just looked at my GOM this morning after an overnight charge! Best range that I've ever seen!

Front windscreen fitted today by National Windscreens. Fitter said shouldn't need to get the camera re-calibrated, that was just a money making scam! Will wait until its first service. Great & efficient service by National Windscreens, repaired within the hour. He gets an average of 6...

3 months wait for a front windscreen, which was cracked in May. Just heard today that it has finally arrived.

Driving up the M5 yesterday in a heavy shower I was overtaken by a big truck and heard a large cracking sound as it passed. Now have a 12" crack leading off from the edge of the window. Insurance have arranged for National Windscreens to come out and replace, but can they refit the window...

I don't understand why so many public chargers have problems. I guess it is due to connectivity problems rather than electrical supply. The system needs to 99% reliable countrywide.

Took my first long range journey away from home this week. Most of my trips since buying the car have been within the max range, so I have always been able to return home to charge back up. Recent journey to Watlington, Oxford meant had to use a rapid charger for the first time. Pulled into...

Having charged the MG5 to 100% last night I noticed this morning that the range was now showing as 247miles. I guess this is because of warmer weather helping extend battery life. A month ago I could only get max range of 203 miles on a fully charged battery. David

Many thanks, that looks useful. Hadn't come across that information before.

I tried charging on a sunny day at midday when the panels were outputting 3kWp but it still took power from the grid.

I've had a Project-EV charger for 6 months and it all seems to be working ok on the Octopus Go 12.30h - 4.30h 5p tariff. However, I have had little success on running it successfully on the Solar or Solar+ option during daytime. It seems to start of ok drawing a few kWp from the pvs but soon...

Another option which I have just taken up today is to buy a share in Ripple Energy. Have just bought a 4265kWh share in a new wind farm being built in Ayrshire. Only problem is it's still a green field site but will start paying in Dec 2023.
