My 2.0l diesel Focus was £245 and my mates 2.0l diesel Mondeo is £20.
I know. My Ford Focus would average 28 mpg and a lot of EV owners will get more than 3 miles/kWh.
Before you sell your EV here are some back of fag packet maths.
Assuming you get 50 mpg out of your petrol car which equals 11 miles per litre.
At the moment the average cost per litre of petrol is £1.36 which equals 12.36p/mile.
An EV getting 3 miles per kWh which costs 7.5p/kWh equals...
Using it for short journeys especially in cold weather is probably why the range has dropped as you are heating the car's cabin from cold multiple time as opposed when you do a long journey and the internal temperature only has to be heated up once and then kept at a constant temperature.

My brother's daughter found a banana skin under the driver's seat of her father's car when she was helping him clean it ready for their annual holiday to Brittany.
She then found out the last time her father had eaten a banana in the car was on the previous year's holiday which would explain...
It seems to be a common calibration issue or as in your case the mechanism has "set" with a lack of use and owners are discovering a few different ways of curing the problem.

I unloaded my two greyhounds from the boot and pressed the close button before realising I'd left my walking shoes just inside the boot. I thought I could grab them as the boot was closing...wrong!
That explains it. It's your charger that's compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go because as @LenEV2016 pointed out MG haven't released their API for Octopus to control the car's charging.
I'd let the dealer know that the fix was only temporary but you'll wait for the first service for them to look at it again so it will be on the car's record.
Like @TimothyN I run various appliances to take advantage of the cheap rate and as I don't do a lot of mileage in the car it does mean I save money compare to being on a single rate tariff although I don't go as far as using V2L.
A lot of suppliers are now only doing 5 hours of cheap...
