    Octopus energy tariffs

    Problem is they don't buy the gas to generate electricity today, at todays prices. They'll have placed orders literally years ago saying to buy X amount of gas in Y months. It'll take a few months for the prices to settle down again and for that to filter through to us.

    Vanarama Issues

    Seen a few posts on the social medias that dealers aren't expecting any cars for at least the next few months, and that MG will be making an announcement. Suppose it's too much to hope the announcement is they're fulfilling lease orders for a few months :/

    Where to store the charging cable

    That would be great, and a perfectly valid criticism of MG in particular and Vanarama/Greenhous for not pushing harder to get deliveries.

    Literally a minute ago. So if my order, to MG, was placed the same day I made it I'm looking at mid June '23 before I lose the grant. Always the possibility they placed it a few weeks later, as it was close to Xmas, so may even be end of June, mid July...

    Official Plug In Car Grant (PICG) Thread

    Good news for Vanarama customers, like me, as that should keep us eligible for the grant. Unless they're screwed over by MG even more than they have been so far...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    The dealer is Greenhous Shrewsbury so you might be able to get it off them? I suspect that because the buyer is actually Vanarama the first issue is that you're not technically the customer, and second it's likely Vanarama will allocate the actual vehicles when they arrive?

    Solar PV - no roof space

    So first month not too shabby, given the weather; PV; 339 kWh generated, 51 kWh exported. Import; 437 off-peak, 33 peak The vast majority of off-peak is going to charging the EV. Topping up the battery is averaging around 5 kWh a day. As mentioned before, tariff changed part way through the...

    If only a 10th of the current orders cancel that's a ~£14k direct loss for them (£40k if you look at the full price). Legally, and arguably morally, you're not entitled to a free charger no matter how sad the whole thing has made you.

    Vanarama Issues

    Had the "sending you a new contract" call last night. One thing they did say, and I didn't really pick up on it until after, was they're seeing deliveries of ZS EVs but I don't know if he was speaking generally or if Vanarama have seen some.

    Poll on owning & using a Type 2 "fast" charge cable

    I have three. One came with the ZE50 I previously had and I may have "forgot" to put it in the car when I sold it. Second I purchased to use with my untethered home charger and is permanently left attached, with a motorbike lock to the wall, to prevent anyone just walking away with it. Third...

    Vanarama Issues

    Vanarama aren't a dealer, they're a broker. Their dealer is Greenhaus in Shrewsbury who, as the official PDI company for MG you would expect might be able to get some cars when they're delivered.

    You'd hope they already are but asking as a constituent and spreading that message over many MPs will, hopefully, be more likely to get results.

    I've knocked up a template if anyone else wants to try contacting their MP Make sure you do include your proper name and address, they will only deal with you if you can show you are a constituent. https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/
