    Insurance, crazy renewal

    I've insured my ZSEV with LV for the past few years and they are very reasonable

    Mismatch with %age and efficiency on MG5 Long range EV

    I need to explain my sentence a little better. Let us assume that a battery pack has 60kWh of usable energy, so each 1% of battery is 0.6kWh. At 10%, there should be 6kWh available, at 20%, it should be 12kWh etc. On my LR ZSEV, it does not appear to be totally linear, so going from an indicated...

    Mismatch with %age and efficiency on MG5 Long range EV

    You are right. A higher MpKwh should use a smaller battery percentage for the same journey length - the reverse of what you are seeing. I have a LR ZS EV rather than the MG5 but on the ZS, I have noticed that the % gauge is not completely linear. My guess is that had you started both journeys at...

    Reduced range after full charge on MG5 LR

    Just reset your long term trip accumulator and it will revert back to the WLTP range. It's not called a guessometer for nothing!

    New Owner, Unfortunately an issue.

    Can also happen if you try to do things too fast or try to start with your foot not down hard enough on the brake. When starting, give everything a little more time.

    Off peak charging cost

    Is that why so many have gone bust recently - because they have been charging too much? Nearly every electricity company has been making a loss over the past few months whilst the cost of any electricity produced using gas has cost more than the energy company has been able to charge. I don't...

    Off peak charging cost

    The Go98 EDF tariff is cheap from 9pm - 7am and all day weekend. I'm sure you can fit your sleep patterns around that, or automatically time your charging.

    How accurate is the Miles/ KwH measurement

    Most people ignore the extra cost due to losses. So if you are paying 12p per KWh and your car tells you it does 3 miles on this, the cost per mile, due to losses, will be more like 4.4p - 4.6p per mile rather than the 4p per mile. The losses on AC (home charger) are greater than the losses on...

    How accurate is the Miles/ KwH measurement

    I suspect that you are confusing KWh as measured by you house meter or charger and KWh as stored in the battery. The car is showing how many miles it will travel on a KWh of stored (battery) electricity. To obtain 1KWh of battery electricity, you will need around 1.1 - 1.15 KWh of house...

    Off peak charging cost

    EDF Go35 currently has the cheapest overnight rate at 4.5p for 5 hrs per night but the day rate is expensive.

    Car wouldn't start

    It's probably that you put it into drive (D) to quickly. As others have said, you can resolve this by turning off and on again (but more slowly this time). However, it can also be resolved if you push P then back into D again. This should also resolve it and is quicker than turning off and on again.

    Edf go electric98

    I'm on the EDF Go 98 tariff. I only have a granny charger so the long 10hr night rate works well for me. I've managed to time shift most of my devices into the cheap 10hr or weekend slot with an average 2KWh day useage and 14KWh cheap useage. This gives an average cost of 10.7p / KWh. For my...
