As the previous post went off topic, please use this thread for listing those dealers who do the update for free. This will help anyone who is in range of one of those dealers to get the update. Also, listing your model of MG may be helpful.

[email protected] Good afternoon, To confirm, the MG dealerships can charge for a software update as this is an enhancement. The update is free however, you will be paying for the technician’s time to carry out the update since they must be with the vehicle throughout the update...

As there are a few threads about this, if you have received a free Tesla supercharger update, please post the name, address and contact details of the dealership which performed it. Edit moderator: Added "supercharger" to the thread title.

I thought I'd start a positive thread as a counter to the EV opposition thread. Time for some positive stories. :) https://www.burnham-on-sea.com/news/somerset-polices-electric-vehicle-fleet-leading-the-way-in-journey-to-zero-emissions/...

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd mention this in case any Android Auto users didn't know about it. It's in Search, Categories, Charging Stations, and here's how it works: Yesterday, like Bilbo Baggins, I had an unexpected journey and decided to drive it as I would an ICE car without planning it...

I've put together a spreadsheet to try and compare tariffs with your actual annual usage. I'm no expert on spreadsheets and it's been a bit of trial and error, but it seems to work. Give it a try and let me know. Instructions: The orange bar at the top is for your current provider, which will...

Saw this police car this morning pulled up opposite our house. I've seen it about for a couple of months now but never managed to get a photo. And yes, that's the front of my ZS in the foreground. :) Has anyone else seen emergency service EV's?

I'd heard rumours about this and just saw this on the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65698529

Hi everyone, As the title suggests, I already have a home charger, a Pod-Point which came free with my first EV. I have solar panels on the roof and a variable current granny charger which I use to syphon off any excess generation. For this, I have to keep an eye on the weather and use the...

Hi there folks. I had an email from EDF last week telling me the prices I pay will be changing. So I set out trying to work out who would be the cheapest for me. With solar and a 8kWh battery, 95% of my electricity is on off peak prices. I found this comparison on Which...

Hi everyone, As the title says, started remote defrost of the car this morning, and when I went out to the car, the radio was playing. Not had that happen before. Anyone else had this?

Driving out of the Tesco store in Weston super Mare when I saw this dark grey Tesla Model 3. Apparently . . . E.V-ing? an I.C.E "charging" space. :) (I think the lady was waiting to move forward to the tyre compressor which was in use. But it made me smile)

Switched on the car this morning and this is what I saw. Anyone else had this multi window screen? I kinda like it. I'm wondering if it's connected to the map update I did a couple of days ago or if it's actually an over-the-air update to the infotainment screen.

This morning, I tried to lock the car when the door wasn't shut properly and the alarm went off. I unlocked, shut door, and locked again and the alarm stopped. I then got a very helpfull text and email to say "The abnormal invasion into your vehicle (***878) has triggered an alarm on 01-02-2023...

Firstly, sorry this is a bit of a long one. I would like to start by saying I love driving EV’s (I’m on my third one now) and would not go back to fossils. This is my experience on Sunday of driving to London and back and the problems I encountered. (You can skip to my thoughts at the end if...

So I've got my first long trip this coming Tuesday and I thought I would first share my plan using ABRP and then post the real world experience afterwards. Set off from Weston super Mare up the M5 motorway with 100% charge. 1 hour 19 mins later, arrive at 50kW Pod-Point charger at Lidl...

Hi everyone. I've got a couple of road trips this month and have been planning my journeys on ABRP and Zap-Map when I realised that the prices at the charging stops varied wildly from network to network. So I visited The 15 Best Electric Car Charging Companies: A Round Up of UK Public Charging...

I parked up at Tesco this morning while Her Indoors was doing some shopping. I plugged into the Pod-Point and went into the store to grab a few things. Came back out and sat in the car to watch a video while I waited for Her Indoors to finish shopping. After 2% of charge delivered over 15...

I saw this, this morning and had to do a double take. Yes, that's a white, Tesla Model 3 pulled up at a petrol pump! (Didn't hang around to see what happened when he tried to put the nozzle in the charge socket :))

Hi everyone. I thought I'd share this discovery with you of how to get rid of those annoying scuff marks which won't go away with dash cleaner. Use a dab of liquid shoe polish on a cloth and then gently rub it in. It looks like it's just come from the showroom. :)
