:eek: what made you think that? Do you have that in writing from the dealership? Unlikely, unless you have got that written guarantee you hint at. It's only just out of winter and still cold. Wait till the summer and range will improve.

I just looked and I don't see a dangly bit 🤷‍♀️

🤞

Good idea. Just think - if the fuel crisis continues - the dairies could start delivering us fresh milk daily using EV's to save us driving to the shops. And - even better - busses going on fixed routes around towns could have two poles attached to the top of them, to draw electric power...

From reading between the lines, it seems that Octopus are applying a 3.51p reduction wef 1/4/26 to all tariffs, as a result of some changes made in the autumn statement. So if, like @Rolfe, you are on a fixed rate for months, you will get 3.51p off your fixed rate. But, if you are on a...

Businesses and retired people will be happy with that :)

But they shouldn't :(

Whilst this all sounds potentially good for any of us who need to use public chargers, I note that the argument says.. "The crux of the dispute was as to the interpretation of VATA 94 Sch 7A Group 1, which allows a supply of fuel/power to be reduced rate if made for a “qualifying use”. Note 3...

That advice - whilst better than using a 13A fuse for everything - is IMHO, badly worded, technically inaccurate and does not consider the bigger picture. (y) Absolutely. My 2p worth... if anyone is awake... A fuse is required to protect circuits from overcurrent situations and the...

Sadly unlikely to be possible in my lifetime. With the short winter days at our latitude and the sun only reaching 16 degrees above the horizon in mid-winter I calculated I'd need another 55 panels and another 30kWh of battery storage to get us through the darkest / rainiest week in December...

... wish I'd thought of that ;) Oh no.. just spotted your new signature. I'd assumed the new MG was for the missus, not replacing the XPower. Have you broke the news to @salty? YW. Fingers crossed it is repairable - IME they usually are unless the puncture is too close to the sidewall 🤞

That's a huge difference. The cynic in me, wonders if demo vehicles have some software tweaks so that the consumption figure appears higher than it should?.... says the VW-driving gal! ;)

Hope you get over your cold soon, @Archev 😷

My understanding, which is from LiFePO4-based home energy storage balancing (so may be different with EVs) is that balancing is based on cell voltages, but with LFP can only commence when the cells are above a certain threshold (typically about 3400mV) as below that voltage is not a good...
