(y) good point.
Totally agree on the issue of BS1363 not being designed for sustained usage at high current. And that problem has got worse in the last 5 years or so when most EV's have at least 50kWh batteries compared to the "first generation" ones that were often in the 20-30kWh range...
(y). I'd certainly do that.
Personally, I'd also be inclined to raise the issue with Trading Standards as your charger was presumably a genuine MG one - it is clearly not up to the job, unless you were charging at a greater rate than the MG was designed to do... Which itself, should not be...
Totally agree - very ambiguous - which is why I said "if I'm reading it correctly". Obviously being a consultation document there's likely to be changes anyway. But... as the document refers to eVED as being a simple process with only one interaction a year with DVLA, together with the...
I spotted a minor silver lining in the pay-per-mile cloud consultation document...
So, as we've all (hopefully) aligned our VED renewal periods to March 2025 to avoid this year's VED on EV's, then - if I'm reading that correctly - we'll be renewing our VED in March 2028, so the eVED charge...
Yes - happened to a few already and posted on here (for example with @Yorkshire Hillbilly)
Thanks for sharing the detail - out of interest what rate were you charging at? Regular (i.e. non BS1363-2 EV rated) plugs and sockets are not recommended for continual charging over 8A.
The connection...
No pavement was harmed in the making of this car clean ;)
And you do realise there is a now 3p per litre supplement payable to the treasury when using water for washing EV's...
It will be interesting to hear what you think about the quality of MG/Chinese vehicles with your history of migration through what looks like an incremental "perceived-quality-of-marque" ladder.
Having gone from Citroen to Ford to BMW to RR to Jag to Merc it looks like a bit of a full circle...
