    Charging at Castle Donnington Services, M1

They have a bank of rapid Gridserve chargers but, having tried four with their app and a credit card I gave up as none could make a connection to the car. I then spotted a lonely 50kW charger the other side of the car park which...

    Public rapid charging prices trending down ?

    With Instavolt and Be.EV reducing prices to 65p/kWh and also doing off-peak rates is this the start of a trend ? It would be nice to think so. Will others follow suit ? Instavolt 65p/kWh (and 54p off-peak 8pm-7am via app or Instavolt RFID only) Be.EV 65p/kWh (and off-peak 55p 9pm-7am via app...

    Need a charging cable MG5 to an external rapid charging station

    Could anyone please advise the best/economical place to procure a charging cable for my MG5 to a rapid charging station such as the ones found in supermarkets. I didn’t realise that one isn’t included and evidently Halfords don’t sell them. Thanks in anticipation

    Effect of frequent rapid charging on battery

    I have had my mg4 for only a few weeks and currently don’t have a wall charger at home, but I work from home so I also dont have an opportunity to plug into an AC charger at my place of work either. As such, when I get the opportunity to charge I have found myself tending towards using rapid...

    What is the right way to charge? Car on or off?

    When I rapid charge, I usually shut off my car before plugging in the charger. Works fine. When I'm at home and insert the charger when the car is off, it's usually harder to get the car to charge. And if it works, it takes a lot longer for it to switch from blue to green. It's usually not too...

    Rapid chargers

    Is it OK to use a rapid charger on an MG4? I found one at the weekend that charges at 150 KW, couldn't get it to work so thought maybe too powerful for car?
