    Upgrade of house main fuse

    See also this https://www.energynetworks.org/industry/connecting-to-the-networks/connecting-electric-vehicles-and-heat-pumps It is the 'property owner' who is required to apply to the DNO. This is carried out for you by the installer, as you have found out the form is really hard to complete...

    Upgrade of house main fuse

    Also the 60 and 100 are physically different in size so a new head would have to be fitted.

    The great big insurance rip off

    Try Saga, we are on £320, but the best bit is that the price is fixed for 3 years as long as nothing changes.

    HI all nice to meet you all .... Lincoln MG dealer for sale ??

    Before selling our ZS I had it serviced and whilst waiting was speaking to the sales guy. He informed me that a lot of dealers are not bowing to MG terms. They had to buy new office desks, £500 each. A suitcase to show how it fits into the boot. £400. This is why they are 'losing' the franchise

    Octopus Smart Meter Reading Visits?

    I turned someone away 3 times. Octopus email me informing that it was to read the meter and do safety checks. I enquired what safety checks and I would like a copy of the report. Never heard back, and no-one called.

    Goodbye to the ZS EV

    After owning the car from new in November 2020, we handed back the car to the finance company. It was the second car and we no longer need a second car. Did 15000 miles in it, all with no problems what so ever. Apart from when the wife was coming home and had the --- miles remaining. I know it...

    Octopus Go Price Cut

    But it's not 14p per day, it's only when I take a 4 hour charge, once in a blue moon 😁 There are a few that don't have the standing charge, but the unit rate is a lot higher. Only useful in a holiday let or something similar

    Octopus Go Price Cut

    Forgot about the gas price in my excitement 🙃 It will go down, but not a lot being used atm. Wait until we turn on the central heating, all of a sudden gas price will have to go up. What about the standard 30p ish rate? That's what we needed to go down, by a lot.

    fitting a chargepoint

    The original post stated that they were not employing paying a pro to do the work. Also, i just pointed out that dumb boxes could be obtained from elsewhere. @robbymax hope you get something sorted that suits you.

    fitting a chargepoint

    Some points need to be commissioned to talk to the home server so that you can schedule the charge. If you can, get a old rolec dumb charger, add a wifi relay to it and have a smart charger. Shelly wifi relay

    This is rather alarming news

    Just had the inners of my box replaced under warranty. Car was charging 1 night then just stop. Installer had to come out first to look at. Slight charring on one of the 'low voltage' wires. Company came today and replaced all the circuit boards and wiring after the raspberrypi. Did say that...

    How worried should we be?

    I could go and look around the CM0 postcode for a MG. But, the wife will think that I am (more) weird and would I be worrying someone there. 🤔

    Any better overnight tariffs?

    Only problem at the moment is that we expected prices to fall again in October which will make them cheaper that all these tarrifs. They all have exit fees as well.

    Any better overnight tariffs?

    If all meters (v2) are equal, why do they have this on the site. 'You’ll need a British Gas electricity smart meter. If you don’t have an electricity smart meter - or if you have one fitted by another provider - we’ll upgrade you to one of our smart meters, at no extra cost.' Has anyone...
