    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    Light bulb moment... By George I think I've got it 😂 I still think that is an extremely badly worded statement and the use of the word PLUS, which normally means in addition. So to confirm cheap electricity for the house between 11:30pm and 5:30am (the whole purpose of an EV tariff of course)...

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    Is this ambiguous ? Bullet 1, guaranteed the 6 hours overnight. Bullet 2, PLUS up to 6 hours every 24 hours...... So are they restricting it to the overnight, or to 6 hours sometime as has been said and it sort of reads like that or is it 12 hours as it says ? I'm not on IGO at the moment but...

    BM2 battery monitor

    Thanks, I know what they are etc. but was hoping someone on here might have installed one and have a recommendation for a particular version that has proved useful, reliable and has a decent app to go with it. Mr EV does some wonderful road trip and holiday videos, especially the family's annual...

    Just noticed the update to your location, I presume you are SOPH, rather than POSH :D

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Some dealers are just poor. As I said my dealer was superb but had their hands tied to the procedures laid down to them by MG. e.g. can I please have permission to do this fix... etc.

    But MGUK is just the British arm of SAIC MG and following their rules.

    BM2 battery monitor

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a one of these? I've never used one but they seem to be a worthwhile thing for EVs and are conveniently priced for asking for one as a Christmas present. There are loads on Amazon and the same on Ebay for a bit cheaper so spoilt for choice, hence asking...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    I have already gone this route. I have to say that my local dealer Luscombe's in Leeds was excellent and I place no fault, blame or criticism with them. The cars I have had from them have been excellent too, but I found that the SAIC method of working with MG and I presume all other SAIC brands...

    MG 5 replacement!?!

    Really, I guess I missed that then. :unsure: It's not April is it ?

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    But would fancying an EV and saving the planet even enter the argument if it was posed as: Fancy an EV and help to save the planet? Yep, but it's gonna cost ya ! More expensive to buy, more expensive to run and it will only get worse.

    Good Deal ATM with Amazon on Type 2 Charging Leads 5m, 8m or 10m long

    It was probably our least favourite of all the Warners we have visited. We like the Warner offering but we seldom go back to a place (even foreign holidays) as we like discovering new places. We have friends who are the complete opposite and go to the same place on holiday year after year after...

    MG 5 replacement!?!

    Since it's the same picture for both it probably isn't either of them.

    Good Deal ATM with Amazon on Type 2 Charging Leads 5m, 8m or 10m long

    Might have to revisit Thoresby Hall once the refurbishment is finished. We went a couple of years ago in February and it was a cold old place with a long way to walk to anywhere within the hotel. Didn't need to charge as it's only about 50 odd miles from us.

    EV tariff increases the daily tariff !

    You don't need to do too many miles to benefit from a EV (time of day) tariff. I only do 6/7000 a year and am on Octopus Go. We are very low users at home though, c.150kWh / month but the EV tariff saves us around £230 a year. Here is a print of my comparison figures using Go, Octopus Fixed...
