    Retail Park Charging

    This has to change. Assuming somebody who can actually do something about this looking in. Inevitably when something is free, somebody will abuse it. We need that stopping, quickly. I think charger hogging should now be ticketed with a standard £30 fine. If we all accept a 2 hour max time for...

    EV Thank You

    Your definitely right about one thing. For a fifteen year old to be doing something “nice” I think encouragement and gratitude are words that come to my mind. So many people complain but not many praise.

    Buying a type 2 charging cable

    I had an existing outside socket my plug wouldn’t fit in it. So instead I cut a small groove in my shed door, big enough for cable from the charger to the car to slot into. So my three pin plug and charger are inside the shed and the cable and charging plug outside. I put a rubber bung in the...

    Boycott Shell Fuel and Shell Recharge - Support Ukraine!

    People power just might be the way to defeat this Russian aggression. Assuming in the whole of Europe we could gather 20 million unarmed people to form a ring around Kiev and start walking outwards ( gathering more people on the way, including Russian troops), towards Ukraines original borders...

    Boycott Shell Fuel and Shell Recharge - Support Ukraine!

    The people of Ukraine do not deserve the treatment there are getting from Russia. Having spent time in both countries I am certain most Russian people do not support what is happening but are unable to control their presidents actions. I too wonder what the UN is waiting for as it seems the rest...

    Glad I’ve got an EV - fuel prices!

    Will we ever get to a point where drivers and shoppers just say NO! Not at that price thank you? With inflation running at over 7 % and wages at nowhere near that something has to give.

    Boycott Shell Fuel and Shell Recharge - Support Ukraine!

    Let’s just hope Shell don’t use it as an excuse not to pay a windfall tax this year!

    Brand Image

    I have only had my car since September 2021 but already I am much more likely to defend the brand than I would have been when I bought it. I have owned or driven some seriously expensive cars in the past and none has put a smile on my face like this one. MG brand doubters are reducing in numbers...

    Watch out for robbers , the contents of your tanks are valuable enough for potential thieves. I can see our electric car batteries being on that list soon.

    Boycott Shell Fuel and Shell Recharge - Support Ukraine!

    During COVID our government have imposed restrictions on 60 million of us how come they can’t do the same for one oil company?

    Bulb price rises April 1st 2022 - Bloody hell!

    I am paying almost 32p per KW hr but I have 5 hours overnight at 7.5 p for charging etc. I guess it’s the going rate but I have huge issues with the financial management of our own oil and gas resources, they have abused to line the pockets of energy companies and their shareholders for over 30...

    Anything EV specific to carry in case of a breakdown?

    I have found I need to remove debris and water under the panel in the lower inside wings whenever I wash my car so I have removed these clips and now the panel is just held in place by the Velcro strips on each side. My charging cable sits on top and I have the string fixed to the emergency...

    Bulb price rises April 1st 2022 - Bloody hell!

    i can understand how gas and oil affect our energy costs but the oil and energy companies are really taking the mick! My local petrol station put up fuel by 5 p a litre on the day Russia invaded Ukraine, the petrol in their tanks was there the day before so they can’t have increased costs, just...

    Anything EV specific to carry in case of a breakdown?

    When I bought my 5SR it came with 4 years AA cover, so don’t carry any tools at all now, apart from those already in the boot when purchased. .

    Brand Image

    For me MG means Morris Garages an important and prestigious brand in UK car manufacture. The fact a Chinese company had the foresight to buy and use it certainly influenced my decision to buy one. Even though my car was made in China, which could be looked on as a negative, the badge balances...

    Why are legacy car makers so behind in the EV game?

    The way I see it , if we can make a bouncing bomb and Concorde we should be able to manage an EV with some serious thinking. A few bits of wood, a bit of string and some old pram wheels as a kid gave me a tariff free means of transport over 60years ago. Surely it’s possible?

    Why are legacy car makers so behind in the EV game?

    I don’t like to idea of being dependant on foreign manufacturers for ever and would dearly like to see a British designed and built EV. It‘s rather like our current dilemma on Energy, Petrol etc, where we are now held to ransom with suppliers being able to charge what they like when they like. I...

    This guy is a genius

    I would love to see some really live ideas from China where wires are simply an essential, given absolutely no attention at all. Except for foreign tourists cameras, they are amazed they work and nobody has died. This is typical in Shanghai...
