Yep a long time in politics. But anyway the current statement is that they will not have to pay the tax due, it will be waived for people whose only income is the state pension.

But changing the modes changes the accelerator response curve, so holding a steady position whilst changing modes is meaningless, with each regen setting you will on a different point of the curve.

Or as RR has said, they may waive the tax. It's still a long way off anyway, much can change in the meantime.

As soon as you press the brake, the accelerator cuts out.

Doesn't matter, you need to apply the brake firmly to get past all the regen, whether accelator lifting or initial gentle brake application induced.

I thought the current plan (proposal, whatever) was that if you had no additional income, then any tax on the pension would be waived? But making the pensioners tax allowance the greater of the SP or the standard personal allowance sounds like the best way forward.

I've had some sessions with a very large number of slots, and it's never caused the car an issue.

That's a bit contradictory isn't it? If it is Smart Charging then you have no control of the "when" so you cannot force it to be within 11:30 to 5:30?

It should be said the levels only apply to lifting the accelerator. The first gentle part of the brake application will then increase the regen up to it's maximum before the friction brakes start being applied when the requested braking force becomes too much for regen to satisfy. So you can...

I didn't even get as far as trying to charge. They were 7kW chargers, 6 posts with two sockets per post. Looks great for overnight charging... No contactless, app only it says on them. Download the app. Create an account. They offer a month's free subscription with reduced prices, great. Try...

Over a week ago I used the 200kW PoGo chargers at Crick M1 - first time user and impressed. Easy to use, nice big easy to read screen with charge graph etc, and at 65p full price, 60p with Electroverse, somewhat of a bargain nowadays. But the question is, I haven't seen this charge come...

Most people could probably spread a big charge over a couple of days. For those that can't (big milers) the part of the charge at the bump rate is still much cheaper than public charging. But I guess if this is enforced without any tweaks, you'd need to compare the overall IOG cost against...

But the customer doesn't ask for "6 hours @ 7Kw", they ask for a total kWh to be delivered by an end time? So long as that is delivered what does it matter if some slots are "slowed down". Edit: ah! I see the point about reduced charge rate and exceeding the 6 hours. Something Octopus need to...

Maybe, but IOG often sets the max charge rate for some slots lower than 7kW. I guess it would depend on how much extra demand they want to create at any particular time.

What difference does that make though? The car is still charged in the morning either way :confused: One way potentially enables more renewable energy on the grid, and one doesn't.

But that restriction is down to MG not opening up their API to Octopus, drive a VW (or any of the other compatible cars) and you can just plug in as they originally intended. The fact they have opened it up to non-compatible cars albeit with that one extra step is a bonus. And is setting the...

Are they going to up the monthly data limit as well then? I can imagine lots of updates stopping when the current small limit is reached.

Which, afaik, only works when the infotainment system is running. So as much use as a....

The SE has fixed units in that the low and high adjust as single entity. The Trophy lamps are individually adjustable low & high. The factory high beam adjustment seems to be way off on many cars.

You need to use the iSmart app - MG do not allow third parties to use the car API. The Ohme will just keep the power switched on for you to use if you wish.
