    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...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    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...

    Auto lights MG5 LR PFL

    As far as I'm aware the PFL MG5 had no factory fit tints in the windows.

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    Same here, but I never used the M62 to head north on the M6 travelling from Leeds. As @Rolfe says a complete no-brainer. From Leeds to the junction of the A65/M6 there is a difference of about 38 miles more if using the M62 (64 miles v 102) and at higher speed (sometimes) so less efficient...

    Heated seats and wheel will make no difference.
