Will do. Its now delayed.

Just the base spec. Excite?

The MG5 seems to be a popular choice. The first electric estate car in the world?

Yes, mine will be a company car to replace my current electric Zoe. I miss having an estate car and really hoping that Lex will pull out all the stops for the delivery.

I'm sure I will. Just not sure how i will feel without the timed charge facility, which is brilliant on the Renault.

My wall box doesn’t let me set it up either (Pod-Point). The MG will take a timed charge but your wall box has to have that functionality.

"However, we’re pleased to say that our team are developing a Charge Scheduling feature for the Pod Point App. This will let you set a time for your Solo Home Charger to start and stop charging.

We don’t have a timeline for release yet but once it’s ready we’ll put an update out on our social channels. If you’d like to be involved in beta testing please use this link to sign up.

PodPoint timed charging?

I have a 7kw podpoint home charger. I know that this has been discussed across several posts and forums but can anyone recommend a way that I can set up a timed charge overnight between 12.30am and 4am to get cheap rates?
