I had always thought that, for NMC batteries, you can balance from any battery percentage and that a balancing charge from less than 10% is only needed once or twice a year. But I could be wrong!

In my experience, the GOM forecast is based upon recent history. I don’t do many 100% charges, bur the forecast will be higher after long runs rather than short trips. My lowest has been 251 miles and my highest 324 miles. Whatever the forecast, what I actually achieve will be based on my right...

Presumably 17 inch? My understanding is that Michelin are not producing CC3s for 18 inch wheels. Would be delighted to be proved wrong!

I wondered if it could be something to do with the stop/go charging - myenergi recording everything and the Octopus monitor missing miniscule amounts of charge.

For me, the basic choice was down to mileage. I have family and friends living 200-220 miles away. Even in winter, I know I can get therein my EV without charging en route; I probably wouldn’t make it in bad conditions in an LR.

I use it at traffic lights or a junction, when dark, to avoid blinding a driver behind me.

And when it is orange, well… you are on fire! Luv it.

Caliban is clearly not such a villain after all 🙂

Agreed.

Please don’t do this. It is contrary to Octopus’s T & C’s and the more people that do it the more likely Octopus are to react to the detriment of all users. Ask for the percentage charge you car needs and be grateful for what is offered = 6 hours cheap electricity and if, occasionally, you need...

Even with my current ER, I have only used fast chargers three times in two years. I have no doubt that advances in battery design will soon make 300 real summer miles the norm and the same real winter mileage will follow. When that happens, en route charging will inevitably become something of...

I am sure that MG will update their website by 27Q4 🤣

I must admit that I have done it twice. The one thing I have learned is not to touch the light switch while driving!

Thank you. I will give the charging curve map a look = something new for me.

I am not a technical person, so my apologies if this is a stupid question, but is there a way of knowing whether a charge to 100% has balanced the battery or not balanced it?

Does anyone know how sealers adjust the light sensitivity? Is it a percentage scale or, for example, one of five settings? I find my current setting too sensitive but, if I ask for a change on an upcoming service, I don’t want the setting to be insensitive - which I would regard as the greater...

Sometimes, when I am feeling bored on a long journey (the A50 dual carriageway is a good example), I drive on A and then switch to 3 before I slow for a roundabout, reverting to A as I get to the roundabout; I have the right star switch set to facilitate this. I do wonder though whether I am...

I emailed Michelin about ER tyres. Impressed to get a response within 30 minutes. The relevant bit reads: “We checked our commercial catalogue. We do not have Crossclimate 3 in size 235/45 R18 98W. Whether or not we will produce the desired size and index is unfortunately not known at this...

My experience is that, after a while, you come to understand how the GOM works, based on recent driving and other factors, and prefer to trust the computer in your brain. A recent example. I charged from 18% to 100% for a long run, with the GOM showing 348 miles (I wish!). After my long journey...
