    No change to Intelligent Octopus Go unit prices from July

    As the title really, just knocked 2p of the standing charge.

    Sleeping in MG4 [merged thread]

    My Saturday job whilst at school was helping out in an electrical retailer/tv hire shop and yes sometimes in the workshop was that smell was there, babies nappies best described it.

    A proper TV program about EVs tonight on Channel 5.

    I bet that guy wished the ground would open up and swallow him when he watched that afterwards.

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    A bit like the water powered funicular railways of the Victorian era.

    MG4 HVAC no cold air

    My 2023 Trophy is booked in for a replacement A/C compressor as the noisy one (reported in the first month) has finally failed.

    How to play mp3 audio files from phone in MG4 Long Range

    I just select 'BT music' instead of radio and it plays, in fact the DAB radio signal is quite patchy so sometimes when it drops out the car announces something like ' you appear to be listening to music' and starts playing the podcast I'd paused earlier on in the day. That's with just the phone...

    MG4 limited edition 49kWh in Finland

    Maybe the 'limited edition' is actually 'limited equipment'

    Air con failed.

    So my 2022 build Trophy had the 'they sound like that' noisy AC pump. This was reported, and dismissed in July 2023, come the end of 2024 A/C wasn't getting particularly cold but it was winter. Second service in March this year reported it had failed, 'yes that will be replaced under warranty...

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    I understand your frustration. We've just swapped the o/h aging Suzuki for a 3 y/o e-niro. We use the roof bars for our kayaks. As we'd gone from raised roof rails to flush ones I thought 'simples' get the flush foot pack and off we go. But the foot pack didn't come with the fitting kit = more...

    Charging using Ohme home pro - battery reads 71%

    This happens balancing the cells, good for getting a better estimate of range and better for the battery as it reduces the risk of over discharging the low cells. On my NMC battery this can take half an hour or more after it has reached the desired charge level, just leave it charging...

    Which EV, new or used, would you change your MG for?

    We have just swapped the o/h aging Suzuki for a 21 plate Kia e-Niro. Only had it a few days but initial impressions are it's not bad. I prefer the look of the Niro EV but that was a stretch too far, although I heard somewhere that id the same car in a new frock. It's comfortable, reasonably...

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    I usually ignore it but it shows how ingrained 'range anxiety' is in people that don't own an EV, even though they've been in my MG4 for a reasonable distance and listened to me talk about our holiday trips.

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    Apart from Friday's News Quiz on Radio 4 where, when discussing Trump Musk spat a comedian stated nobody is buying Teslas because there's nowhere to charge them. We've replaced the other half's Suzuki with a 3 y/o Kia E-niro, apart from the colleague who was horrified because she she didn't want...

    Hi, No battery here yet but something to aware of if I do get one.

    Intelligent Octopus Q's

    50% of 64kW is 32, IOG off-peak slot can supply 6x6.4 kW so you are covered anyway. If I allow a smart charge I normally get a few extra 7p slots which apply to the whole house sometimes even around 6pm.These can sometimes be just 30 minute slots and occasionally the schedule of them changes so...

    Ship carrying SAIC EVs on fire :(

    He's on my 'don't recommend this channel' list so he doesn't exist (to me) any more.

    Intelligent Octopus Q's

    My Zappi/MG4 occasionally does something similar. If I get in the car when it is charging it will pause the charge other times it tells the Zappi charge complete and the smart charge doesn't restart.

    When will MG fix the auto start feature?

    I guess I must sit very still then, I've sat waiting for around 20 minutes without a problem, just the radio goes off after around 10.

    When will MG fix the auto start feature?

    Go to the MG pilot screen (car symbol ) fourth tab 'safety' and select power off

    The Time Has Come..... (public charging)

    Most pre authorise an amount anything from £1 (Applegreen) - £30 (gridserve) some even more but the transaction just sits there pending until the correct amount comes through or it get cancelled.
