Ohme have implemented a fix in their charger software, specifically for the MG. They also fully support Agile Octopus (they pick out each 30 minute period overnight, to give you the very cheapest charge). I've been using the updated code (it was developed partly using my charger) now for nearly...

If you do, use a referral code, then you get £50 when you join, and so does the referrer. If it was my recommendation that sent you to Octopus, then please use my code - click this link when going to Octopus: Octopus Energy

We're now on Octopus Agile and have been for the last 3 weeks or so. So far we've paid so much less for our electricity that it's just amazing!!! not only the overnight tariff (which has even gone NEGATIVE on a couple of occasions) but during the day as well. We can top up the storage heaters at...

Does the voice button not work with Android Auto or Apple car play? I haven't tried it myself, but I'm sure I saw a forum post from someone who uses that feature....

I actually removed the locking wheel nuts on my (8 year old) Volvo V70 and replaced them with standard bolts (like the others on the wheel). The locking wheel nuts were just such a hassle, as they wear over time, one jammed and had to be drilled out, on another occasion one had the little holes...

I just changed over to Octopus when I got my car, in January. They're excellent, and are saving us a HUGE amount in overall electricity costs, not just for the car. We were fortunate in that we already had a "Secure" brand smart meter, so we were able to move over to Agile tariff immediately...

One of the advantages of the MG is that the charging point is in the front. So I was sitting in the car (in the pouring rain) looking at the screen of the rapid charger in front of me. So I had the state of charge right there without needing to ask the car :-). If I remember, the car dashboard...

OK, so presumably when you pressed the start button three times, first time it came to state "acc" (for accessories) - orange light on the start button. Second press took you to "on" (green light on the start button) and the car started booting up (bongs and all). Then the third press usually...

That's really interesting - presumably that's when sitting in the car with it unlocked. Does it matter what the power state of the car is before the triple-press (off, acc or on)? I noticed the (only) time I've used a rapid charger, that I could keep the car in the "on" position (by pressing the...

The issue is with timed (scheduled) charging. All the current chargers that folks have tried with the MG (Zappi, podpoint, rolec, etc) work when charging within 20 mins or so of plugging in. Also, some (like the rolec, and I think zappi) have implemented a work-around for the MG whereby they...

Hi, if you have an MG ZS EV then there's only one "Smart" charger right now that correctly schedule-charges the MG. It also happens to be the only charger in the UK right now which works properly with Octopus Agile Tariff (the best in the UK for EVs, IMHO). That's the Ohme charger (ohme-ev.com).
