It always starts up with KERS3 and Normal Drive mode.

That's annoying. They did it at the same time as my last service (20th August 24) for no extra charge. I successfully did a Tesla charge at Trentham (Stoke) on Friday 30th August using the app. I only put 1 kWh in though as it was just a test. The AirBnb I was staying in (Poynton , Cheshire) for...

My 12V power socket ( 'cigarette lighter charger hole') has stopped working. Reading around the subject I am going to check the fuse. However I have a few questions as I have never needed to change a car fuse before. Do you need a specific MG fuse or will any car fuse ( like for like 15 amp...

British Gas is 50% cashback today ( Sunday 25th) on whatever your electricity rate is from 9am to 5pm. Usually its 11am to 4pm each Sunday but today its more. Something to do with celebrating the ParaOlympics.

One place you can reserve is a pre booked (no cost) parking space at Center parcs with a chargpoint (untethered). You don't have to move once charged. I do to 80% on the first night and to a 100% on the last night. They only charge between 11pm and 4 / 5 am. They also have some rock up and use...

Incidentally on the free data on the connect. How much do you actually get. I've only ever turned it on briefly to use a parking app if my phone could not pick up a mobile signal ( I have unlimited data and hotspot on my phone but obviously it can be outside of a signal frim time to time wheras...

Fist one of the day usually says January 2019. The rest are the correct day. Just a minor bug like service requirement fault indicator every 600 miles. Dead reckoning not working also and which therefore is switched off.

When he is not doing anti EV ranting his content can be reasonable

Mine was reset on the 12 month service and again this week on the 24 month service. I never reset it myself. A bit annoying really as it's now not reflecting my drving patterns and style, which give a higher GOM estimate than the factory settings. Yes I know to just use current journey...

One phone, usually the last connected, automatically Bluetooth connects. Others which were connected but were not the last connected, won't automatically do this.

I could theoretically drive 600 miles without stopping. And the original poster in their subsequent comment was querying outside of warranty.

Yes but this subsequent comment by the OP brings in warranty. Hi I was just thinking that if the car was say 10 years old and out of warrantee i think the battery would cost more than the cars worth, so where's the incentive to buy an eclectic car. Warranty does not cover damage. Insurance...

Also don't forget. If your battery went down to say 60% and you wanted more than the range it was giving you, you would also be selling that battery to someone to use as static storage as well as buying a new or refurbished one. The people fitting your new one would probably facilitate that or...

This forum is pretty placid. But I get smacked around left, right and centre on the Daily Fail when promoting EVs, renewables etc. Most on there are permanently enraged about EVs.

To be fair there are multiple reasons for me 1. Pollution reduction. Not so much the C02 bit (though thats a bonus extra), but the exhaust fumes toxins. 2. The driving experience. 3. Convenience. The convenience of charging at home once a week (overnight) vastly outweighs the very occasional...

Plus it's increasingly the private car hire / taxi drivers vehicle of choice.

Not a pet but a little visitor last Saturday evening

Yet I am happy with the EV tariff they give me. Plus on the smart meter the various other times they give you give 50% off (via a cash back to your bill). They have more on this summer and the Sundays ones are from 9 till 5 until the end if Sept, plus a couple of Saturdays thrown in. They just...

EV man did a YT video on how sentry mode drains the power. It seems its useful for security if you are charging frequently. But don't turn it on if eg leaving at airport for a couple of weeks

If I am warm enough or cool enough, I turn off the climate control. If I need to switch it on again for a bit, I do so. Likewise for misted up window clearance. But if I don't need to, then I won't. I am the same at home. The heating is set for 19c. I dont wack it up. I will drive in ECO unless...
