As far as I'm aware the Zappi has 3 modes, Fast, eco and eco+. Fast is just max charge rate, eco is use up to 1.4 kW from the grid plus any solar excess, eco+ allows you to set a max from the grid to add to the solar excess to maintain 1.4kW, so if a cloud comes across and your solar excess...

I think ours uses around 150w when running according to the IHD.

When we moved here we seemed to get a lot of power cuts that lasted a couple of hours or so. Fortunately we already had a wood burner but I did buy a cartridge gas burner. Good insurance as we haven't had one since, of course now I can plug the boiler into the car if needed.

As per title, I too have a Zappi. Not sure there's an option to specify a vehicle. You now get a message at the bottom of the schedule (on the app) telling you the slots may change.

I think Harry Metcalfe that the Sustain petrol he uses cost about £4.50 a litre and that's 20% fossil fuel.

I think it's a known issue with IOG and smart charge. It doesn't really cause an issue as both batteries are similar size and I treat them similarly

We've just squeaked home with 3% in the Niro, so I asked for 99% by 10am. I think the Niro has a little more usable than my MG4. I purposely gave it a 14 hr slot to fit the charge in, but it scheduled from plug in (19:50) to 6am as a single slot. It's a shame you can't register multiple vehicles...

True but the Tesla was within budget, it just didn't appeal. I wanted a hatchback and the MY looked like a Logitech mouse from the 1990s.

Better is a very broad term, it was the MG4 that persuaded me to try an EV not a Tesla.

The red is about the best colour, and the supercharger network makes it great for off the cuff trips (or work related travel eg rep) and if I needed that it would be the tool of choice. I guess I would get used to not having a drivers binnacle/head s up, no indicator stalk (highland) and iffy...

Lately I have been requesting 50% by 8am and the schedule has been after midnight to around 6am, but I'll get 2 or 3 random half hour slots during the afternoon/early evening plus it seems to think 50% is around 35kWh.

I pay tax on my state pension because I contributed to SERPS for a few years. They have announced that if you only receive the basic state pension it will not be taxed, as with the frozen bands the state pension is expected to exceed £12,570 in 2027 due to inflation.

So now you have to spend it all otherwise they will anyway.

The software and supercharger network is what Tesla got right, M3 highland isn't a bad looking car but it's not a hatchback, the rest of the Tesla range are just fugly. Our poverty spec Niro doesn't have any app connection but its not really an issue, the MG4 does its job ok not perfect but it...

Same on mine, but after a cold nigh they are all at 2.3 bar and the right rear is the first to be reported, then I get left rear/ multiple tyres. I just add 0.2 bar once the nights get cold and the problem goes away.

As an oldie I'd love to have a spare £20k to save each year, that said I know where my current premium bond money is going next year, I won't be lending the government any more money at a cheap rate.

There already is a hoof 'tax', a set of new shoes cost around £140 every 6-8 weeks.

I think they started that last year when their first act (after showing they could be as corrupt as the tories, giving jobs to their mates) was the vindictive attack on those that tend not to vote labour, pensioners and farmers.

I had a similar dilemma, had an old Honda Jazz as a fishing/tip/horse feed car, only does around 2k miles a year. I had planned to replace it with a small electric van but the imposition of commercial VED meant I kept the Jazz and will not be going electric with its replacement.

Those were the days, proper computer rooms raised floors and heavy duty aircon. I went to a county council office to install some software for them and as part of it I needed to access the mainframe. At this site I could only do that from the computer room, they took me down into the basement...
