Yes the Octopus Electrverse card is good, but I still prefer Tesla where they are available to non Tesla car owners. Tesla's prices are very keen too, charging costs vary, with non-members typically paying around 60p per kWh, quite a saving on some ridiculously expensive options.

Also a great Tesla at Darts Farm, Exmouth Rd, Exeter EX3 0QH, a really good cafe, restaurant and good quality shops.

There are loads, especially as already mentioned Solstice Park, Amesbury, just off the A303, easy access, has a big capacity with Gridserve and Instavolt, Although I like to use Tesla Superchargers, wherever possible and must be the ones open to all car makes. The favourite for me on the way...

The S5 has exactly the same size rear blade as the 4 Clive haha. I found one on Amazon mid September, but if you recall, it needed a small mod to the slot the hook fits into. "Rear wiper" sounds like a nursing home term for someone the manager isn't too keen on !!

Nor me they don't seem to rate that highly!

Thank you @MickeySw , that's very interesting, another version of how it should be done! All sounds pretty logical, it just shows the confusion regarding balancing/equalisation is pretty widespread. I'll try it at a higher SOC next time I balance (on one leg) watching with interest, not only is...

It appears its a tad trial and error, I managed my first Equalisation last week at the second attempt, details on my thread "Battery Equalisation/Balancing MGS5 second attempt" But basically I used the iSmart app, I'm on Intelligent Octopus GO, so cheap energy between 11.30pm to 05.30am, I set...

Just out of interest @LenEV2016 , what EV are you currently running, your bio says "not an MG"

I'm not overly concerned about "smart" charging Len, I use it all the time for normal up to 80% charging. It's fairly straightforward to achieve full equalisation using the iSmart app, but the length of charge time has to be extended by several hours to fully complete the job, hence I...

I think you'll find that will not properly equalize the battery cells if I read what you are doing is correct. Equalisation needs to be carried out in the same charge (movement) if you are interrupting the charge and connecting the "granny charger" that wont work correctly. Additionally it...

I do have Intelligent Go tariff @Data, Dynamic charging is turned ON.

I don't use Smart Charging, I use the the MG iSmart app, set to switch on at the normal cheap energy rate starting at 11.30pm, but for the equalisation charge I set it for 12 hours and not the normal 5.30am (6 hours) stop time for normal charging. I'm pretty sure the equalisation took place as...

It may have been the diesel engines, can't remember, it was a few years ago, my Hyundai Tucson blew up it's diesel turbo.

I've recently upgraded my faultless and excellent MG4 Trophy to the MGS5, apart from a few (now) small teething issues, the S5 is lovely to drive, more comfortable driving position and faster in sport mode than any MG4 except the very quick XPower. I loved my MG4, it only went due to huge non...

Kia and Hyundai both went through a really bad time with their engines blowing up, I knew a Hyundai mechanic who couldn't keep up rebuilding their petrol engines a few years back. That I imagine is what is meant by weak

I had 2 years of trouble free driving with my MG4 Trophy, fabulous value and a great car, sorry to hear about your woes, my new S5 is even better than the 4, apart from a very few teething issues.

Yep, that's how it works, made an old lady jump out of her skin today as she walked past the car going to shops, the boot was closing as I locked the car.... toot toot!

I tried it from 20% and it didn't want to work, every thing I understand from a new life experience (@Jazzyboy and @Guinea Pig) AND LOADS OF OTHERS, leads me to believe that it definitely works from 8% (under 10%)remaining battery, I'm ready to be adjusted in my understanding. it;s quite...

Car mats are available now, I bought a nice set from Vehicle Mats UK, the ones which came with the car were lower end quality, I went for a better quality with a decent heel protector stitched in!

Thanks @Jazzyboy, I can tell you my biggest learning curve in life eminates from school boy mistakes🤣😂
