Just spent the last hour reading the draft legislation laid before the House of Commons and the House of Lords on 11 July 2023. Oh what a charmed life I lead. The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 It's all good news however and within one year of the act coming into force we should see:- 99%...

I have used the Instavolt Rapid Charger many times since it opened at a local McDonalds. Today for the first time it failed to read my card. Interestingly the same thing happened to the other Instavolt Charger next to me. Rang the number supplied and the issue was resolved very quickly as I also...

At the recent Fully Charged Show, Harrogate, in May I had the opportunity to meet many new friends. Not only Robert Lewellyn, who is one of the nicest people who promote the future, but also a show photographer who kindly sent me these photographs. Did I mention that I also met Miles Roberts...

My MP has replied to my enquiry reference the Rapid Charging Fund specifically That is really good news and I'm sure we will all be able collectively cheer on December 31st. There are also some other things talked about in the letter which I didn't know was still happening. I thought the...

Following a great first long trip to Harrogate for the fully charged show I have found a few grippes about the state of our motorway service stations. It seems that below Leeds rapid chargers seem to not be present at some of our service stations. M1, Strensham Southbound, has no chargers as...

Having a great time taking part in some of the fantastic talks. Met Miles Roberts yesterday and Robert Llewelyn greated us all today. If anyone from the forum recognises me say hello. I'm the not good looking one in the top picture.

I'm travelling up to the Fully Charged Show North this Friday. My first really long journey. Does anyone know what the parking arrangements will be? I was told an email would be sent detailing arrangements but so far I havent received any details.

I have only driven my MG ZS EV for 2 weeks but have been avidly looking at these threads and YouTube videos for nearly 2 years. The driving has been fantastic, very easy to get used to this one peddle driving and rock solid road handling, as well as enjoying the rapid accelleration on a few...

Vital equipment for charging in the UK Good morning everyone, just sat in my car this early morning getting a little energy topup at my local carpark. It suddenly occured to me that the one piece of equipment I had forgotten to purchase was probably the most important for any EV driver who...

Received my MG ZS EV Trophy Connect today and been out playing. Super fun but on my travels I found 2 broken fast chargers. The car came with about 48% charge, which I think is the norm now that its so expensive for dealers to do give a free 100% charge. It was actually picked up from Portishead...

Over the last few years I have been checking the availability of EV chargers near to me as I live in a flat and am unable to have my own wall charger. before covid, when I started looking at purchasing an MG EV there were only 2 locations with 7kw chargers and 1 22kw within a 2 mile radius of...

I have just been informed by my leasing agent RGW Vehicle Contracts Ltd, that dealers are in some trouble with deliveries because of the backlog caused by the computer upgrades done last month. Apparently the computer system at MG is finding it difficult to Match up cars with purchasers and...

Really interesting results from WhatCar's recent video testing range in the winter for several EV cars. The MG4 was right in the middle specifically NOT over promising range and a good MPKw/hr. What do you think? evcog

OK hopefully I'm about to take delivery of an MG ZS EV Trophy in the next 2 weeks. Its been some time since I last checked what RFID cards I require (or are usefull to have) when out charging the car. Most of the information on sites is from several years ago and as a result it may no longer be...

I have over the last week created some 'pictures' of our cars in varied and hopefully exciting styles. I have finished off my look at the current, and one future, models with the MG Marvel R. They are available for you to use for whatever you want under the Creative Commons Licence 2.0. The...

I have been playing again. Creating piictures of the new MG Marvel R. It's far too late to download lots now so here is one as an example. More will follow tomorrow. Just filling out time waiting for the delivery of my MG EV hopefully next week. evcog

I recently uploaded some images of both MG ZS EV and the MG4 cars in some exciting formats (because I think most on the internet are a bit dull). I have now created a model of the MG5, and created a few renders in a few styles that I upload below. These and those I downloaded a few days ago are...

Some AI assisted graphic illustrations of our cars. I thought that most of the pictures around are a bit bland so decided to up the game a little and produce some more spectacular ones. I have used the same technique to create my favicon and may well offer out some more free ones to fellow...

I'm up in Harrogate in May and whilst researching the ZapMap I have noticed a shocking lack of fast chargers. There are 2 Tesla only locations near and very few others above 7Kw. I have the MG ZS EV trophy long range. Do any of you recommend where I should go for rapid charging up there?
