New car

[Lollipopman]

Had a test drive in hs phev and found it realy nice, bought the ZS hybrid plus in October and been offered a cracking deal, mg to pay off zs and deposit of £5500 and monthly payments of £325, 0% interest on a pcp. Arranged another test drive for Monday to convince the wife it ain't to big for her to drive.

How did it go yesterday @Lollipopman ?

 

[Lollipopman]

Hi Clive, went well she liked it very much so placed an order. I now have to replace my old wall charger that I had from my days with the old Nissan Leaf type1. I was thinking of getting an adaptor but reading up on it it's not advisable so, so I'm looking for some advice on type of charger to purchase we don't do alot of mileage so would a Granny charger do us?.

Congrats on your new motor. Pics please, when you get it.

 

[MG Clive]

Yes a granny charger would probably do, but if you're already wired into your mains electric, it will probably just be a case of swapping the actual charger to a type 2. You can get these for around £300 plus half an hour of an electrician's time.

That's the path I was thinking about going down, just replacement old one. I will look at what's available. Thank you.

 

[Lollipopman]

Will send some piccys when we get it.

 

[Lollipopman]

Looking at this wall charger to replace my old type 1, for when i get my new hs phev, anyone got any views on whether it will be ok?

 

[Lollipopman]

Forgot to put piccy on

 

[MG Clive]

I can't imagine there would be any problem with it @Lollipopman, it has everything you'll need.

If the type 1 is still usable, why not get a sparkie to change the end over. If it is dumb, get the car to control the time.

Had our new HS PHEV two months now. Filled the tank at new, done over 1,500 miles and still got over half a tank left. Charge up at cheap rates most nights and easily get 70+ miles on EV mode from a full charge. Type two charger well worth the money - full charge costs under £2:50 at cheap overnight rate with Octopus

I have purchased a 7kw charger I'm just hopeful that it Will be a straight changeover using the cable from my junction box already in place, got sparky coming on Tuesday to have a look.

Yes hopefully it should be a straight swap.
