Glyn Hopkins are the worst dealers I gave ever used. Communication is non existent. Happy to take your money but service is a pain. I would recommend finding another MG garage and using them it's a 7 year warranty which I believe is MG so you may not be tied into Glyn Hopkins I now use another...

Sounds suspect. I would be on to MG and my dealer pronto. I did the same trip to Gridserve Braintree when I got my ZS Trophy to try it out before we did some longer journeys it worked fine and charged so quickly we had not finished our coffee before it was up to 80%. Next trip we took was to...

Thanks for the heads up on the link to Octopus it was not the main reason I chose it but a nice to have in the future perhaps?

Look at the Zappie as it does link to Octopus energy in fact Octopus fitted ours. We replaced a 13 year old Podpoint we bought to charge our Nissan Leaf this is a 3Kw charger. The Zappie is 7Kw and links to the Solar panels and can be set charge on the cheap rate Octopus Go night time tarrif...

When I had my Landrover I used a small inverter connected to the 12V round (cigarette lighter) socket. the inverter came with such a plug and also had a 13amp mains socket built in. Ideal for my Son and daughter to run laptops etc. obviously not a kettle though. this was purchased from Maplins...

I bought mine from a link on the internet ev casbles supplied it with the 32 amp socket. It works just fine I am a trustee of our village windmill and it powers the internal lights on our open days.

Me to! It was very noticable on the small winding Devonshire / Cornish roads. Thanks Guys I will get the dealers to look into it especially as It has just had its first yeras service. Obviously it never got checked and why not if a known issue? Maybe they should have cinched down the bolts.

Braintree Gridserve Electric Forecourt is very close to Chelmsford lots of chargers and a very nice set of shiops with Costas etc. check it out. https://www.gridserve.com/electric-vehicle-charging/electric-forecourt/braintree/

press and hold the home button down for several seconds the display computer will reset. Had similar issue where I could not re-tune the radio just switch between Bluetooth or Radio2 (the last station we had on before it stuck) the mute button also stops working. A home button reset does the...

Just returned from Cornwall. we have Octopus Energy so the Electroverse card is great as it covers many chargers it also shows some chargers that are not on Zap Map so I use both. Exeter Services MOTO have a bank of Tesla and also Gridserve chargers, Gridserve are installing a lot more chargers...

I bought a used 27Kwh Nissan Leaf three years ago for £4.2k Nissan Leaf's are kown for their battery degredation I took a risk and three years on its still as good as the day I bought it. It costs very little to run and maintain I had it serviced by Cleevely EV's at 60k miles all was good they...

I got Halfords to fit my towbar they came out me and fitted it on my driveway.

Thanks Bodgex I thought this forum was for chatting and helping each other not scoring points. I am happy to be corrected by those who have more knowledge and experience than me. Please dont spoil this very helpful forum by putting the rest of us down it just puts me off posting anything. I am...

Every situation is different. I was simply pointing out that its not essential to install a home charger.

While visiting my Mum for a few days I ran an extention lead out of the window and used the charger that way. We have two electric cars one is always charged from a 13 amp outside plug which I installed myself the other is using a 10 year old podpoint tethered charger. both work fine. I dont see...
