    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    In my experience all companies care about is profit so if you are a builder and a gas boiler manufacturer is looking to offload a few hundred boilers at a good price (because installing them in new builds is about to be banned) vs paying full whack for new heat pumps you will buy and install the...

    A good alternative EV

    In terms of bang for buck I think the XPower has spoilt us and now they are getting close to £20k for used examples anything new is going to have to handle well and be a pretty special place to be.

    My MG4 64 Essence (Perth Australia) after 1 year makes my previous ICE car seem so... normal

    The MG4 is like Kato from the Pink Panther movies, always keeping you alert

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    If you think it is just MG under trays that have issues this is an interesting watch from timestamp 4:00. So lulls you into a false sense of all good for 2 years then the tray falls off

    It's Blowin' A Hoolie Oot There!

    Didn't want to push the issue with them and it wasn't that expensive, however, THEY have set the precedent so if anything form our house damages anything of theirs they will be treated how they treated us.

    It's Blowin' A Hoolie Oot There!

    Had a similar issue during a previous storm, neighbours roof tiles blew off and smashed our garage roof. The irony being had the car been in the garage and not on the drive it would have been damaged as well. I had to claim on our house insurance even though it was the neighbours house that...

    Tusker leasing and software updates

    I am also in a lease with a different company and have found a similar apathy to looking after the car. This is my first experience of leasing a car and the lease company who own it are not treating it in a way that I would if it was mine. I have had a similar servicing experience (lease...

    Advice on where to put a 7kW charger point

    Install it where it is most convenient for how you plan to use it. You may have to compromise due to cable runs (or incur more installation costs) Also consider if you plan to upgrade anything else in the property at a future date such as adding solar or battery storage and if you will need to...

    MG4 Low Charging speed compared to friends EV

    Do you see the charge rate change when you change the AC charge setting, as it does in the video below (time stamp 9:30 onwards)

    For those thinking of putting the Cyberster on track

    On paper even the XPower is faster than the Spectre. EV's have completely changed the power to price dynamic of the ICE car World. Manufacturers (and car reviewers) still have not worked out how to cope with this.

    Disappointing winter range

    I think the car industry should just state that WLTP = Would Like To Pretend, in the same way that ICE car combined MPG figures varied wildly between owners actual MPG experience.

    Low range indicated at 100% charge

    When did you last do an equalisation charge and when did the all time trip last go round the clock. Just these 2 factors alone can have a big impact on the GOM range.

    New MG4 - Initial thoughts

    I still find it amazing that all the legacy car makers with hundreds of years of car design and development in user experiences and interfaces would throw all of that knowledge out the window when they started making EV's. Why not take the best of what you had and improve on it, not start from...

    Ohme Charger

    We have the Ohme and find it works well. No idea what will happen when the data subscription ends, assume you could just use it in dumb mode from the front panel

    Planning a trip to Scotland

    For me it is about 10 miles from the A1 (total detour of around 20 miles), off at Jn45 and back on at Jn47 and for the half price power, around 40p/kWh instead of 80p/kWh I always found it made sense. Plus the garden centre has toilets and a cafe (and there is a Drive Thru Costa 1 minute up the...

    Would you buy your ‘leased’ MG4?

    Warranty should be OK as it was serviced by a VAT registered garage, just not logged on the MG database so any warranty claim would need receipts from the servicing garage (which the lease company have).

    Planning a trip to Scotland

    If you are planning a stop in Wetherby maybe consider the Tesla chargers in Harrogate, just have to compare the costs, and if you are carrying on up the A1 there are another set at Adderstone (Purdy Lodge). Those are the 2 stops I use when travelling Edinburgh to Leicester
