Yes Electroverse cards do work (but not the app) with Shell Recharge and 'Ubitricity' (whatever that is - but seems centred around large conurbations in northern EU and UK?). You can filter to find them all separately on the Electroverse map. I only tried out one Recharge via app and it worked...

Interesting … a useful warning, but not planning to visit any of those just for the moment. I hope you won’t mind me adding a note on your very comprehensive travelogue that I have at long last got round to adding my own poor-by-comparison account of our own first longer-distance trip, last...

9. In the end, we used Tesla chargers only a couple of times, but always without hitch via an account on its app. But I largely used just the one Electroverse app to pay for nearly everything via my home electricity account. I tried the Shell Recharge app once and it worked fine, but was...

We recently returned from our first six-weeks longer-distance trip from Essex to SW France – 750 miles, excluding the channel tunnel, each way – for which we particularly chose the MG4 Trophy Extended Range (late ’23) version. Both of us are now of an age that calls for a gentler drive spanning...

Very wise now I think for only three quid. It seems likely only to expand. We need it for Rouen on the way to SW France (Google will always try to take you through the centre) and Toulouse is quite hot too - except that there is a corridor through to the most polluting part - the Airport! I...

I remember it well! Our route almost exactly, as far as Angoulême N10, where we always set off cross-country towards Tarbes. I suspected as much, and it was only around 15C most of the time - but good to hear from experience ... and we're not in a hurry these days, so speed isn't that...

Bonnie Tyler ... Lost in France ? - but hopefully not on Day I, if you're going in that direction (or any time come to that)! BTW Had a pretty faultless trip down to SW France three weeks ago. Just one Tesla SC that wouldn't work due to no signal (E of Rouen and in the middle of an industrial...

That's really interesting to know. I've now looked them up and they certainly have the right approach. Although they seem to have opened that first one back in July '23, they do seem to be actively searching for sites throughout France. In fact that one is not very far (20km west but in the...

No - not a 2CV, but an up-market Dyane for the "kids'" (now 47 and 50!) first day at new school ... ... and regrettably not mine either (and perhaps a bit off OP's subject) - although I was fortunate to get a ride in it in 1976, including a 'racing start' into a near right-angled bend taken...

"... an athermic windscreen always has an area of normal glass around the rear-view mirror ..." I do understand fully your reasoning - and indeed how athermic glass works - but forgive me for being a trifle more cautious in wishing to ask MG for a simple assurance that "always" applies equally...

Thanks. It was the large number of MG4s we keep seeing in France that stimulated my interest in modern MG EVs. I suppose my main concern is that the newer UK 4 ERs have a slightly different spec to the EU (most annoyingly, the downgrade to a 7kWh o/b charger that renders the plethora of valuable...

I've only just picked up on this interesting thread - the more so your comment about the Via tag. I have been using a French tag for years but have only just got my first EV - a late 2023 new model MG4 ER. I'm a bit suspicious of the car's windscreen having a slight athermic-like tinge (but no...
