What a difference some warmer weather makes to efficiency!! This morning we drove to Birmingham in 6 degree temps and managed 3.7 miles to the kWh and this evening we pinged 4miles to the kWh in 16 degrees all the way home!! With that efficiency we’d just be pushing 200 miles, which I guess...

It kind of is. I get an allowance that I can use and if I go over it then I make up the shortfall and it’s salary sacrifice (the allowance is added to my salary as part of my employment package).

Pretty much every EV is available. It all just comes down to ones budget.

So, I got the MG5 on lease through work but opted for a shorter lease term on the basis that in a couple years new cars will be coming online that are a significant improvement over the MG5 and, importantly, will cost the same if not less. Next year my car is due to be returned and I am really...

Had our first long drive of the summer on Monday, over to Norfolk and back and a total distance of around 160 miles. Forgot to get the details of the first leg (60 miles), but the second leg (20 miles to the country house at Holkham Hall) we got 5.3 miles to the KwH! and our return of 83 miles...

You know, I find the old MG5 look quite nice and I reckon it looks better than the new version??!!

I don’t think it has Bob.

The service was covered under the leasing agreement I have. However our neighbour had their Tesla done last month and it cost them £50.

Ive had the new MG5 since February 2023 and have to say that over all Im pretty happy with it. So far we have put 15k miles on the clock which has used 4478kwh at a total cost of £403. We have done some public charging at a couple fast chargers but not enough to make any real difference to the...

Not quite but after a bit of faffing about I found where to turn the notification off ? Couple turns to the left, scroll down to next service and then make the change on the next screen ?

Any ideas on how to reset this warning? Just came back from having the car serviced but didn’t notice the warning hadn’t been reset…and I’m not keen to go back as it’s an hour round trip! Any help would be greatly appreciated ? Thanks xx

Small things amusing small minds and all that hey ??

This one always made me smile ? Someone had turned the B of Buckden in to an F ?

The one feature that really got my attention with the R5 was the ability to run the house off the car! Now, this to me seems a much more practical approach to battery storage especially as EV’s become more prevalent everywhere. Instead of purchasing a hellishly expensive Tesla battery wall or...

I forgot to get an end of month photo....since October :) BUT since the start of October Ive done 4,326 miles using 1464.3KwH at a cost of £111.92. I have used some public chargers but the miles they provided will be negligible so wont impact the cost that much. This makes it 2.5p a mile which...
