Resale Value

I’m in on holiday in Devon and I my banks anti fraud has been responsible for my charging woes. MFG and a Scottish Power charger both trying to put a holding amount on debit card which was declined… call from bank resolved MFG. Osprey chargers worked fine (before MFG failed!) with same bank details.

It doesn't cover everything but it might be worth getting Zapmap and using Zappay as an alternate method of paying.

I purchased a 21 plate MG5 LR in 2023 with 21000 miles on the clock for £21,500 - a bargain I thought! Now, due to many frustrated moments screaming at EV chargers that don't work, I tried to switch to a plug in hybrid. The problem - the best I can get for my car now is £7,500!!!! Even that's down from £9,000 only 3 months ago! Looks like I'm stuck with this for a while.

P.s. the car itself is incredible: handling, speed, room, tech etc - it's just the EV network and my job requiring a lot of motorway miles.

Why would you even consider a plugin hybrid if you do large number of motorway miles. The only way PHEVS make any sense is if you do frequent short journeys and rarely long journeys. In your situation a PHEV would be the worst of both worlds as the MPG would be rubbish and the servicing would be expensive and frequent.
