    Public rapid charging prices trending down ?

    Isn't it just the new Instavolt Winchester superhub that's 65p? The others I've looked at on the app remain 87p. Still, welcome if you are in Winchester.

    Are dealer servicing charges over expensive?

    I've used Apple MG (Meophan) and MG Tunbridge Wells (unsurprisingly in Tunbrdge Wells). Of the 2 I much preferred the latter. They were also the cheapest for. 2nd service and washed the car.

    MG ZS Mk II Tesla Charging Software update

    No way of knowing for sure, until you try it. My car is December 22. It did need an update for Tesla compatibility. MG dealers are likely to charge you for this. I had quotes up to £150 if done at the same time as the annual service. In the end I complained to the Motor Ombudsman. Best part of 2...

    Tomato Energy

    I'm also a Tomato customer and have found them good so far. However, their statement on REGOs isn't the full picture. By purchasing REGOs suppliers generate demand for, and hence investment in, renewables. By not purchasing REGOs Tomato are not contributing to that demand.

    Considering a ZS EV

    So far as superchargers are concerned: obviously you'll only get access to those that are available to non-Tesla; given the year you are considering the car will likely need a software update to be compatible (chargeable c. £150 if you have to pay); no plug and charge on superchargers; and you...

    Paying Electroverse through Octopus Energy account

    Moving to Tomato would have changed your DD. That's what happened to me. I've now added a credit card and all back to normal. Don't think I'll bother with the octopus payment method in the future.

    Paying Electroverse through Octopus Energy account

    I have. Also my RFID card has been cancelled. I'm assuming it's because my direct debit was recently changed.. Thanks for raising this. I wouldn't have realised otherwise. No notice from Electroverse.

    Need a charging cable MG5 to an external rapid charging station

    If you want to use a fast charger (DC and generally 50kw or higher) you won't need a cable. As others have said the cable is part of the charger. If you want to use a destination charger (AC and generally 7.2 KW in UK) you will need the type of cable Superal suggests

    Free Tesla supercharger update from MG dealerships

    No dispute for me. I complained to the ombudsman and was offered the update free of charge.

    Free Tesla supercharger update from MG dealerships

    From recollection the original ZSEV needs a new EVCC module to be compatible with Tesla chargers. In my view it is unreasonable to expect MG to pay for this. However, the majority of MK2s were sold after Tesla chargers became available to other makes in the UK. Yet many MG dealers are still...

    Public charging query

    You just need a cable that is rated 7.2kw, 32 Amp.

    Public charging query

    Simple answer is no. You'll only ever get 6.8kw.

    Steering Wheel Wear

    My car must be about the same age as yours (Dec 22). MG replaced wheel under warranty, although it was under a year old at the time. Had a cover on it since.

    Trip down through France

    We did the same trip (from Calais) in Sept. Paid for all fast chargers with Electroserse RFID (Ionity, Lidl, Total and Engie). Most (but not all) motorway service stations have at least 6 fast chargers. Also paid for AC (mobive where we were) with Electroverse. Personally I wouldnt rely on apps...

    Reducing non-Tesla access to the Supercharger network

    Tesla don't have a waiver in the sense it's being interpreted here. However, networks that are for the exclusive use of a single vehicle manufacturer are not regarded as public chargers for the purpose of these regs.. I think it's only Tesla that would have qualified for this exemption in the...
