Octopus social media accounts indicating there will be a free hour tomorrow. Not sure if it is for the whole of the UK or only regional, but their message makes it seem like all customers will qualify. Seen some complaints from Intelligenters who say the free power method doesn't work for...

Should we be talking about banning these ICE vehicles you see about the place? They seem to be prone to fire https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgqwq9pxjwo

Preaching to the converted here, but I thought some of the battery-heads might appreciate this article about re-using EV batteries for stationary storage. Also - is that a photo of a smashed MGS5? If so it can't be very old! But maybe it is virtually the same on the side view as all the other...

There is a '25 reg MG5 available on Autotrader. Is this the last/youngest one that will be sold? Technically second hand but less than 300 miles so basically pre-registered. £18,197 if someone is looking for a bargain...

Had a worrying situation on my journey this lunchtime. Listening to a podcast via bluetooth and it is very quiet so I held the joystick in the up position to raise the volume. Anyway, the button got stuck so it was pushing the volume upwards (max is apparently 32) for the entire 40 minute...

I don't think anyone has posted this new video on here yet, so I thought I would bring it to the attention of the group. I haven't watched it myself, but could be of interest to ZS owners.

I made a short video about wind power in the UK and thought I would share it here in case anyone is interested.

Stolen from the MG4 Facebook group which no doubt has a large overlap in membership. Allegedly there is a new MG4 under development in China. New generation MG4 hatchback revealed in China Looks similar but a bit more blobby and less sporty. Bit like a Ford Puma I thought. Or a big MG3 or a...

Pebbles didn't notice a low fence when reversing and we've got a scratched bumper. I'm hoping we can get some kind of touch up paint to cover up the scratch ourselves. Has anyone got any experience with this or suggestions as to where to get the paint?

Not sure if this is allowed so mods feel free to delate. However, I came up with an idea about political positions (slightly related to what I do for a living teaching political philosophy), made a video about it and now I don't know what to do with it really. But I'm quite involved with this...

I wondered if it would be useful to have a wiki page with a table about the different software versions available for the MG4, both the Standard and Trophy versions. This might be a useful pointer to all the new owners who ask what software version they have etc. If it is a wiki then it can be...

I thought I was being clever getting a Tesla (UK) T-Smart immersion device to get hot water on a timer before we got our solar installed in 2023. Timer vs diversion The T-Smart was a lot cheaper than getting an eddi (or the more basic alternatives like the solar iboost). Around £150 vs. £300...

Based on questions from a friend and a recent post on here I've written a post on my personal blog about how to think about EV Range when buying a first EV. https://dougstaxappeal.blogspot.com/2025/01/how-should-you-think-about-ev-range.html Thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome!

I see Cleevely EV have added a new video about one of their MG5 fleet having its first MOT. Spoiler: seems to be in very good condition after a lot of miles! Reassuring for us MG owners. :)

Hello everyone, We've had a thing this week where one tyre deflates itself from 37 to 30 PSI (1.9 bar) pretty quickly, then stays there. Can't see any obvious issues so possibilities are: 1) an issue with the valve or 2) a really small hole that closes itself up once the tyre deflates to...

Good news for those of us without Intelligent Octopus Compatible chargers! They have discontinued the 'Octopus lite' tariff for those on Octopus Go and are allowing people to use the standard export tariff. This was noticed by Tim of "Tim and Kat" fame : So we can import at 8.5p and export...

Hello, I had the car set to charge last night for three hours as usual, first time in a few days. For some reason the charge speed seemed to be limited to about 1.35kW. I requested a full grid charge this morning after I noticed but before Pebbles took the car, still only at 1.35kW despite...

I was at the Everything Electric Show today in Farnborough. I wasn't able to get on the MGEV forum while there. In fact I could barely get internet at all on the WiFi or via Three. Anyway, this is what I look like and I expect to wear the same blue overshirt tomorrow so if any fellow forum...

I attended the Everything Electric Show today. I spoke to Octopus and Givenergy representatives about the fact that the Givenergy Charger isn't yet integrated with Octopus Intelligent Go. I was hoping that they would indicate a date in the coming months when it would be sorted. The bad news...

This morning I got an email from Everything Electric with links to pre-book test drives. It says it is an exclusive opportunity so either they sent it to those who have been to a couple of previous shows as well or they are sending it to everyone who has booked a ticket (more likely). In the...
