Not much of an incentive admittedly, 800 points = £1 credit I think.

Looks like they have introduced greener nights, if you you charge mainly on 'greener nights' you get Octopoints.

A friend had a similar problem with their hybrid Volvo, it refused to pre heat last winter because fuel had been in too long.

I think the problem is that 90% correct is still worse than none at all. All of the driver aids would be a really good idea except that if they are not perfect then add to the workload rather than improving it. I'm sure I'd be amazed by Tesla FSD when it works but just one fail would mean I'd...

The MG4 system is useless, way too laggy, the eNiro is just about usable although like @TimothyN I prefer to anticipate.

I'd have thought V2G would be a better mandated idea. Come home a plug in, let the grid use the energy in your battery to help with early evening peak loads, then replace the energy (and recharge) overnight when the wind turbines are still turning rather than turn them off to balance the grid...

It is pretty boxy and I agree the Kia 'look' is a bit marmite. It seemed smaller than our 71 plate eNiro, so did the 25 plate Niro that we had as courtesy car while they sorted ours out. The EV2 has a range around 270 for LR so I guess that's too low.

Kia EV3, 81.4 kWh?

its amazing the stuff we keep but will never use. I still have the tape drive and backup tapes for a computer I retired in 2004, SCUSI film scanner and a parallel print cable.

The whole (EV) driving experience is a lot more relaxing, less tiredness from noise, no pressing on to get the journey over because you know you'll need to stop anyway, the stop allows you to relax.

I found them at the back of an old case that housed DVD-RWs with old backups on.

I can just imagine the meeting a few years back between big oil and legacy auto. Scared sh**tless about the threat of EVs. The focus group comes up with what we can do better, 'we can travel 700 miles on a tank and fill up in 5 seconds and do another 700', and there started a whole industry of FUD.

Until recently I had some 5 1/4" floppy installation discs for MS-DOS 6 I believe.

I don't connect my W10 laptop to the internet, works fine running the odd bit of legacy software. Now use a MacBook Air for everything else with the advantage that iPad and iPhone work seamlessly with it

While on holiday in the N. York Moors recently I had to plug in, lock the car and quickly get back to the cabin to use the wifi to claim the charge, no phone signal in that part of the forest. Failed once, I guess I wasn't quick enough.

I guess that's the problem with PCP, you end up with trying to justify £8k deposit + £16k settlement plus £? monthly payments. I paid £20k (plus £11k part ex) for mine in May 23 and have done 19k miles. I still like the car, had the same niggles but the car is mine, I don't need to change it or...

Funny really but Podpoint was my first ever public charger use, they were free in Sainsbury's car park. You still needed the app to confirm the charge but always worked so long as you had a phone signal. Really old tech these days and apart from Tesco I've only found them as destination chargers...

I don't set any scheduling, car or charger, I use IOG smart charge where you just request nn% by HH time in the octopus app and let it get on with it.

true, I'd considered Todhills northbound although it looked a bit of a faff getting to the southbound side and plumped for Gretna, then I ended up just mirroring the northbound journey going south. Neither southbound journeys were for very long as I intended to arrive home with a low SoC.

Recently returned from Ardgarten, stopped at Gretna and Wetherby, no issues at either. In 2 1/2 years BP Pulse is the only one I've had any problems with.
