I actually managed 328 on our ER in June going from Stafford to Heathrow and back, mostly motorway. Had 3% left as I turned onto the drive. I was determined not to top-up charge on the return to see if it was capable.

We run two EVs off our Ohme Home Pro on OIG. Neither has API link, so we're 'charge to add' for both (MG4 & Fiat 500e) and have had no problems. The cheap electricity when dynamic charging during the say helps. Our average price for last month's 485kWh was 14.18ppkWh.

Free electricity 21.00 to 22.00 tonight, Friday and again between 12.00 and 15.00 tomorrow. Four hours in total.

Aye. Free electricity in East Anglia. I didn't know about that either.

I've just looked at my Ohme app and there is no price cap option now.

Saver Session tonight 18:00 to 19:00 funnily enough.

As in Savings Sessions? I'm in all three - have Ohme charger on Intelligent Go, get free electricity, usually Sundays from 14:00 to 15:00, Greener Nights points and savings sessions where we get paid a few pennies for cutting use, normally between 18:00 and 19:00.

Just wait until you have to get out of the car in tight car parks. The sills are a bit wider than most and you can't open the door narrowly to exit. I always look for end spaces with hatching or similar to straddle them.

My 22YO daughter passed in December and in January she bought a 2021 Fiat 500e which is group 19. Even being out in rural Staffordshire her first premium was £2k with a black box monitor installed.

We have an Ohme charger on IOG. We have nothing set in the car, never touch the Ismart app and never open the Octopus app, at least not since set-up in Feb '24. We tell the Ohme app what % we need and by when and it has never failed us yet.

Replaced wife's 2000 X Merc A160. It was looking very scruffy after 150k miles. She took the NHS SalSac lease and we chose the MG4 Trophy ER from a shortlist of three, the others being a Kia EV6 and Hyundai IONIC5. I'm still running my 1999 Saab 9-5 Griffin 3.0 V6 lpt which broke 230k miles last...

Instavolt using Electroverse card usually works for me.

I did Stafford to Heathrow and back in June. Our ER managed 328 miles and it was on 3% when I pulled back on the drive. That's all motorway and with AC on most of the time. I did manage the speed on the last part of the return to ensure I wouldn't need a charge.

Another smurf entering the McDonalds/Instavolt/Holiday Inn site offer M40 J15 as I was leaving. We exchanged waves.

I did our longest trip since getting our ER yesterday. Mostly motorway from Stafford to Heathrow and back. 310 miles with 3% (11m) remaining. Aircon on some of the time or window open and achieved 4.5 m/kWh. I did consider a stop on the way back for a quick quirt of kWh but decided to see...
