I returned my HUMAX freeview box for refund as not fit for purpose. Hope the EV charger is better.

Just an update - Tesla have not replied to my letter of complaint. No surprise but hardly good customer service

Most of my bit of London is now 20 mph. Thank heavens for cruise control (which would not have worked at that low speed in my old manual ICE). A friend is a magistrate and she says lots of cases going to the bench for 23 in a 20 zone. I believe that the impact of a crash at 20 mph is...

Sainsbury’s expansion into EV charging is very good news as we all need more locations and competition will bring prices down. This move is odd though as they have announced they are closing their banking operation and re-stated their Food First policy of concentrating on their core grocery...

Hah, it doesn’t help😩😂 Nonetheless I have sent off a letter of complaint saying it is unreasonable to expect users to have to count the number of countries on a list and then guess which is the one which is excluded. i will post again if I get a reply.

Well I have been royally shafted by Tesla. I called them today and they said the offer was not available in the UK. The original tweet came from the Tesla Europe Twitter account and said free charging was available in 18 European countries. I checked their website to see if the UK was on the...

It’s showing as a cleared transaction (not a pending transaction) on my credit card account. I sent a Tweet to Tesla about this but have not had a response. I’ll give it a couple of days more to see if the payment is reversed.

Following my supposedly free charge, my credit card has been debited by Tesla. I used the open Tesla charger at Luton and it was my first time. Did anyone else try this free offer and did they get charged?

Ah, yes

Tesla has tweeted “To celebrate the continued opening of our network to all EVs, non-Tesla EVs get their first Supercharging session for free until Jan 6, 2024” NB I assume this is just for their open chargers. Yesterday I tried their Supercharger at Luton and topped up 38 kWh in less than 25...

There are half a dozen or so new AppleGreens at Birchanger services on the M11. They were staffed by a couple of very cold and damp assistants who were eager to help. They said they had had a few teething problems where cars won't charge on AppleGreen but will on Gridserve. He was interested to...

Don’t tell ICERs that there are charge points in multi storey car parks. All that extra weight, blah blah.

On a recent breakdown I found the AA was very good but MG very slow. My MG4 Trophy refused to charge on the A1. My plan B was to charge at my hotel. Car did not charge at the hotel. Called MG Assist who arrived within the hour and who escorted me to another charger. It failed. They disconnected...

Easee messed up last time the clocks changed. Make a note to prepare for another mess in March for BST.

The iSMART app has quite a few niggles for MG4 owners. I’m guessing it will be the same for most MG models. It may help if we all leave negative reviews in the app stores when app related features do not work. I like to think app developers respond to problems more quickly than MG HQ. As an...

My mistake. Sorry. I have amended my post

I’m on Octopus Agile so was curious to see if it is in effect a cut down version of Agile. I wonder if the free electricity periods will be the same as Agile. Last year before I moved to Agile I took part in their energy saving sessions and saved pennies. Post edited to correct a mistake -...

I did it last time too. The financial benefit for me was tiny but at least I was doing my bit to balance load on the grid. I’ve subsequently changed from Octopus Go to Octopus Agile and find myself consciously avoiding heavy usage from 1700 to 1900 daily.

I have no experience of Hive EV charging but their other smart home products range from good to not fit for purpose. Their customer service is woeful. I suggest you push now to get things sorted (documenting things at every step) and bale out if/when you have proof that they cannot fix things in...

If only the MG had a Bluetooth digital key………………. (that actually worked reliably).
