Mine was upgraded from 60 to 80 amps at no cost to me. The Lecky boards trainee almost lost it doing the change...:D

I read it in the Telegraph yesterday. Its bollocks.................

Do you use an App, or is it just tap and pay??

Yesterday, in the pouring rain I succeeded in failing to get an Osprey charger to work. The routine seemed fairly straightforward, tap your payment card, choose which connector to use, and hey presto, the connector is locked into the charger, and won't budge...£25 down as they lock that until...

Every time I use a Greidserve Charger, it tells me the State of Charge as it charges....:)

I can't see it as an option with Octopus. What supplier offers that rate??

Thanks for that reply. But I am sure it needs my internet connection. I did have a telephone session with one of their engineers, he talked me through the set up. But, despite me installing wifi extenders, the signal was never strong enough to connect it all of the time. In the end I gave...

MG ZS EV mk1. I am sure it does not have a timer. And I can't see how to switch on the charger without a physical switch. The charger does have an App, but it needs my internet to work. Alas the signal does not go through the wall to connect the charger...

Just returned to Octopus Go. Cheap rate starts at 12:30am. I have a charger installed by Octopus several years ago. But it is a Rolec charger I now find out. Thus, without getting up at 12:30 to switch the thing on, its a lump of doin's................ So do I have to get up at 12:30am to...

Sounds like a good plan. How do you cope with switching on the EV charge at midnight? Does the charge point have internet to switch on, or do you stay up to do that? Mj

You will lucky to find one that is working. Many around my area are out of order for quite some time. I thought they were very well placed at Morrisons Supermarket car parks. , such a wasted effort.........

I used a Granny Charger for several years with my little Citroen Zero. Three plugs and one socket warmed up enough to be changed. I would not have got away with it with a bigger battery and longer charging times. and that was with modern wiring....

I did charge, but used the older car park ones. But there were several cars on the new bank...:-)

I stopped at the Reasding Services recently. A lovely row of 10 (?) brand new chargers, and the original two in the car park. IF only it was the same on all motorway services...:-)

I managed to bend my MG ZS EV mk 1 on a low brick wall. Not a huge amount of damage, but plenty to raise the insurance umbrella. As a courtesy car, I have the Toyota Yaris. Lovely little car. After a day of driving this little Hybrid, I am looking forward to getting my MG back. The Yaris is...

Also range displayed will be subject to what you have switched on in the car. The heating unit needs to be switched off, and then you can check the voltage. On my ZS EV mk1, it reads 449 volts. This shows you have a full charge. As said, cold temperatures reduce range, and the GOM setting will...

Would a couple of large Highway cones placed outside of your house do the trick? Not legal, but might discourage others from parking there....

More and more Genie Charging points are out of order... They were so well placed, in Morrisons Supermarkets, and other places. I did ring them a month or two ago, they said they could not get spare parts from Japan. Poor sourcing in the first place. They are now a bit like Ecotricity, who had...

No reason why we EV drivers should get off lightly. In theory, roads need to be paid for. Alas, the Road tax has just become just a tax, so little movement there. IF we have to pay per mile, then ICE's should be relieved of the tax on petrol/diesel. Which would make ICE's even more attractive...

Now hear this...Wholesale gas prices are cheaper now than when Ukraine was invaded. As electricity prices are based on the gas price, am I naive to expect fuel costs to return to "normal" soon... Yea, pull the other one...:-(
