Yes!

The only issue with doing that is that a full equalisation & balance needs to be uninterrupted & done from a low state of charge (below low battery warning) continuously up to 100% & then letting the BMS do it's thing to equalise. Again it was MG that said to me the charge must not be...

Yes, indeed it is very confusing as so many people disagree on how to do the equalisation charge. I will say that Octopus & MG did both tell me to turn off smart charging before doing an equalisation charge, my dealer to. As soon as I did my car started equalising correctly. It will now equalise...

Jto, I have the My energy Zappy.

Oh that's interesting. There may be instances where you are right. So it must depend on whether the car is in charge of the situation or the wall box. I have my wall box as the primary listed device with Octopus, not the car. At the time of wall box fitting Octopus said my car could not be the...

Not necessarily. But the only way to properly equalise the battery is to take the SOC down to the battery low SOC warning & preferably just under that to make sure all battery cells drop below the low SOC threshold. Otherwise a full equalisation may not happen. On my ZS EV this happens at around...

Ok, good work! You got your state of charge down to a decent level. BUT...did you turn off SMART CHARGING in the Octopus app? If you did not the car will not have equalised even though you might think it has. You say it has equalised but didn't mention anything about smart charging being off. So...

Chris, mine was updated to R27 from R25 free of charge. However, this was done under warranty due to some software issues that arose after some paintwork warranty work was carried out. Additionally, R27 allows a raft of other updates that you can get that currently your car cannot see. These are...

I would be inclined to tell them you get issues periodically with it. You are entitled to updates & you will find extra features after that's been done. You could be running R27 which gives you a lot of extra features & a more glitch free ownership as your car will see many more updates once you...

Ah yes. Although I didn't drive it after updating the tyre pressures I did move the car a few feet on my driveway. So just starting the car doesn't cause it to update the dash readings. It definitely must be driven!

Yes, you are quite right. It all depends on how well any given car has been previously updated. If the car is fully up to date then it's "simples" to add the Tesla software. If a car is missing certain other updates then those update will be required before the Tesla enhancement is installed...

Susanna, yes from what my dealer said it's just the 'Combined Charger Unit' that has the update applied. Tesla has supplied the software update to MG who then integrates it into the CCU. It's not that hard to do & is mostly automated but might require several steps to do. But then I've only...

Yes, the MK2 ZS has actual pressure sensors in the rim rather than relying on abs deflation detection. I've just updated my tyre pressures & started the car. After a few minutes the dash readings updated without driving the car. Cool! ;)

A kind nice man who knew his stuff. RIP.

I've noticed you have to drive the car for the tpm to update. It takes a few minutes to happen. Or...maybe you can just start the car.

What I've noticed about Electroverse is the constant adding of CPO's to the app making it great for anyone with Octopus as their supplier or anyone with the app or RFID card. Like you I think it's good to have more than one method of finding & paying for charge. Is it worth having an EV package...

Roldorf, it's seems to be different here in the UK. Over here it doesn't matter what charge company you charge at using the Electroverse card. We all get at least an 8% discount (see update below) off the charger price when we use our Electroverse cards. We also get 'price plunging', a heavy...

It's ok trogg. It's really not needed on longer motorway trips or when cruising at these higher speeds. Even if driving without cruise switched on the regen hardly gets used anyway. For me regen is virtually useless under those circumstances. It's great everywhere else.

The Electroverse app is not biased. It will navigate you to any charge station. Anyone can use one (and the Electroverse RFID card) not just Octopus customers & it works at hundreds & hundreds of different charge company stations at home & abroad.

Yes, that's right John. A good example was when I went to 'Everything Electric'. For me it was a 250 mile round trip. I set out with 305 miles of range in normal mode at 17c. 315 in Eco. On the way home when I'd hit 30% state of charge I decided to pop into South Mimms on the M25 just to top up...
