    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    That was an extremely silly place to hold the meeting and a silly thing to do.

    EV tariff increases the daily tariff !

    If you know your home usage and how much you put in the car then I did share a spreadsheet where you simply put in those numbers along with the rates and standing charges and it will show your annual costs and compare 2 different tariffs. If interested in working out your own figures simply...

    Good Deal ATM with Amazon on Type 2 Charging Leads 5m, 8m or 10m long

    Most Warners I have visited, and we have done 9 so far have chargers. A lot of these were installed as token efforts a number of years ago, but they do exist. They are ramping up their chargers now though as they upgrade hotels but don't seem to have a consistent policy on who the CPO should be...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    I think we agree about the most important things and certainly the COP meetings are easily a target for the virtue signalling. But how else would everyone get there in time if it wasn't by air ? It's a catch 22. Meetings by video achieve nothing and deals are done face to face, sometimes you...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    I am sorry but in what way are 'they' being hypocritical ? I have no desire to defend the rich and wealthy but I'm not sure many actually pretend to care about carbon emissions and then go out of their way to maximise their carbon production. They either care or they don't. I care, but I went...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Well carbon offsetting is just a made up thing, like the tooth fairy, so the price of that is purely off the top of the head make it nonsense. Who knows what will happen to biofuels in the future. What will happen to petrol production in 20 plus years time when the number of fossil powered...

    MG5 Long Range - real range ?

    You lose speed too quickly which then has to use more power to regain. It's the common advice for a reason and also the reason that ACC starts at a base level of zero regen and applies it progressively when needed. Some may say you could feather the throttle to achieve the same effect, but when...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    But all these things start as expensive and eventually become more economically affordable. You are benefitting from colour TVs, computers and laptops that were once a luxury item for the rich only, and even books before that. At one time the rich became early adopters, possibly like you with an...

    MG5 Long Range - real range ?

    Regen 3 would be bad on dual carriageway and the motorway anyway, as low as you can go there. My Kona can be turned to regen 0 which works great and ACC uses that as well.

    Non MG Energy Consumption

    Stats for November. A lot of driving this month with regular trips to York from Leeds which is mixed urban, A roads and dual carriageway. Heater has been on a lot this month, I don't sit in cold cars !!!

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Currently under construction at Monk Fryston, near Sherburn-in-Elmet. Ferrybridge's final coal fired power station 'C' closed in 2016 and demolition completed in 2021. SSE have plans for a hydrogen powered power station to be built in its place. They were iconic landmarks.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    HMRC automatically allocates your personal allowance to the State pension first. Any excess allowance is then allocated to any other known fixed incomes, such as personal pensions, and then to variable incomes, such as work place earnings. You can request them to do otherwise but you do have to...

    Surely fuel duty is paid in advance, but in instalments as you fill the tank.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Fuel duty is approx £2.88/gallon or 52.95p/litre plus VAT, total 63.54p/litre. So at 50mpg you are paying 5.76p per mile. Just for comparison purposes. The other savings look good though, unfortunately.

    News: Over The Air (OTA) Updates for MG EVs

    Other EVs have this ability, Tesla for example and my Kona, in fact all Kia/Hyundai I believe. In mine it is called Utility mode operated from the infotainment, basically puts it into accessory mode but with the HV connected so no DRLs and can operate all features such as heater and all 12v...

    Winter range...

    But not many electrons. How much does the GOM drop when you put the heater on and how much does it drop when you only turn on seats and wheel ? Heated seats use in the region of 30-100w (10amp fuse fitted), say 50 watts continual average for simplicity, therefore to consume 1kWh it will take...
