Ive also signed up for Bonnet. They have fixed price of 35p irrespective of whichever charger we use(within their list). I use them whenever a charger costs more than 35p and if they are listed. If less than 35p, pay via contactless or prepaid credit or Octopus electric juice card.
Also just to add, since its a 4G Android box as long as its connected to the internet, we would not even need CarPlay or Android Auto or even a phone(if there is a 4G sim inserted with mobile data). It can independently run Google Maps. With a phone just tethering mobile data to connect to the...

He had a device that was attached to the odb port and that was connected to a sort of a smaller controller of the size of a laptop charger box and that was connected to his tablet. He first told me that since it was a new car, the VIN of the car wasn't getting detected and he couldnt connect. He...
Thanks for this @jseabra. This is very useful.
As a conclusion:
1. Never start charging the car in Ready mode(I may have done this too.Cant remember it now). Its fine to go to Ready mode after the charging starts.
2. If we see this error, the way to solve it without getting towed is to ask AA...
@Harry : You make a fair point here! Cos at home we have single phase AC 7kW charger and the rapids are DC CCS but the one I used was 22kW 3 phase AC. Possibly that may be causing an issue. Would be interesting to know if anyone else used a 3 phase charger without any issues.
I am not sure if there are any obd scanners that work with the new MG ZS EVs yet. I do hope there is a solution for this. It will make me keep an eye out everytime I am on the services now! And I will choose the chargers too. Somehow I feel, the GridServe charger after Zoe did something...
I was driving back with my wife and my little son from Taunton to Milton Keynes yesterday and stopped at Leigh Delamere Services on M4 with 14% SOC and 25 miles left at about 4.15pm. When I reached there, there was a Renault Zoe on charge using the GridServe CCS 120 kW charger. (It was the only...
I have a SR and it charges around 6.6 kW for me on my home charger. Easier way to measure is to calculate based on how much SOC gets added. 100% is approx 50 kWh(battery size). So if you start the charge at 20% and charge for 4 hrs, at 6.5 kW x 4h = around 25 kWh, that about 50% of the battery...
I have seen this many times. A lot of dealers do not have a clue while I find solutions on this forum. Happened to me twice and now I've stopped going back. Will go in only its a hard stop here. If in doubt amongst dealers, post your questions to @Miles Roberts CG. He is the best of everyone...

I got admiral multiproduct insurance as we have another ICE car which my wife uses and also added home insurance and got lot of discounts. Also took EasyGaps motor excess cover of £500 for £35 and increased my excess with Admiral to £500 to get a further £60 discount on the premium.
@FlashingBlade : We may need a small update on the sheet whenever you do it the next time. @ajcooper has a Trophy, not a connect. @Dave , can you help? if I am not wrong, you have a connect version as you helped us validate the voice commands?
