    Still not scheduled charging EO Home Smart.

    Sorry for the delay (pardon the pun). It's taken a while for me to be able to test delayed charging as I was waiting to sort out the wifi signal at the charger before testing (had to disable my PowerLine adapters as they were interfering with charging). I've not fully resolved the issue but had...

    Newbie question about rapid charging

    Worst case, there is an emergency release latch on the car side (check the manual) which will release the cable regardless of other conditions.

    Newbie question about rapid charging

    you would have to stop the charge as well as unlock the vehicle to release the lock on the charge port (unless something has gone wrong). As above every machine is slightly different as to how you stop it, but normally there’s either a handy Stop button, or you have to repeat the starting...

    MG ZS EV First Rapid Charge

    I wonder if this is just the start of the way petrol and diesel went. It’s all rainbows and sunshine just now with free electrons or even prices of 39p, but in 10-20 years we’ll be looking back on the “good old days” as we take a sharp intake of breathe at paying over £1/KW :LOL: either that...

    Charging Cable Discount

    Confirmed just now I have the right cable with my first visit to a pod point ☺ phew! I do find it odd that they don’t work as extensions, despite extensions seemingly looking the same - there must be some extra electronics.

    EO Mini Smart Home Installed

    :LOL: Apologies! PowerLine adapters are just little boxes you can plug into your power sockets. You plug one in near your wifi router (where you have a good signal), and then another one where you need a network signal. It enables you to take your network connection over your power cables...

    Charging Cable Discount

    I don't believe so. I know that you can also get extension cables, bit my understanding is that a regular Type 2 cable is Male on one end and Female on the other? Please tell me that is so lol as I have yet to visit a charger that requires a cable.

    Use of KERS (regenerative braking) on the MG ZS EV

    I heard my car from the outside for the first time today when the Mrs drove it away. I absolutely love all the electrical buzzes and whines it makes :geek:

    MG ZS EV Servicing Costs

    I’ve wondered this myself as this has been my primary concern with buying a current gen EV. I know how bad consumer electronics batteries are after relatively short timeframes (I know they’re different but it’s still an unknown).

    EO Mini Smart Home Installed

    Installer came back to have a look but couldn’t see anything causing the issue (which can be 100% Reproduced). He’s taken some pics and will be speaking with EO. At the dinner table I had a sudden epiphany about something I was already prepared for but forgot in the moment. I had pointed out up...

    EO Mini Smart Home Installed

    Having said that I’m happy with it, I’ve had to call the installer to come back as its not charging properly. Goes through the normal cycle of Connected but not charging, then says Charging, but the progress bar which normally moves left to right just pulses instead of moving, then it goes back...

    EO Mini Smart Home Installed

    Just had my charger installed. So far very happy with it, like the look of it and the size. Will need to use some battery so that I can test the scheduled charging :ROFLMAO: After the grant refund it will have cost £300 which is fantastic compared to some other quotes I received. This one was...

    MG ZS EV Servicing Costs

    Thanks all, I think I'll cancel it and pay per service - it also keeps my options open for where I can have it serviced. Also on principle if the sales pitch included blatant lies ?‍♂️

    MG ZS EV Servicing Costs

    When I was picking up my car, the dealer did a bit of a sales pitch on the servicing costs. My usual instinct whenever a sales pitch is triggered is to walk away, but on this occasion it seemed to make logical sense - although I still despise these hidden extra costs on the day. "Here's the car...
