Inspired by the recent thread from @aardvark5 https://www.mgevs.com/threads/did-you-buy-your-ev-to-save-the-planet.25025/ I thought I would re-run an earlier poll we had 18 months later, now that we have a lot of new members. People are encouraged to participate even if they participated in...

Hi all, I mentioned in a post that we've had a heat pump installed and I got a DM from a curious member about how it performs in cold weather. Since I looked up the data to write them a response I thought I would share it with the group! The Vaillant Heat Pump app provides us with data. I...

I've realised that I've been building up trophy points with all my valuable contributions to the forum here. Very nice. Does anyone know how many I need before I can cash them in for an MGEV of my choice? Do I speak to @Stuart Wright about this or something?

Happy new year fellow MGEVer's! Hope that your electrons flow unimpeded and your batteries never run down to 0%.

What do you experts think of this video listing the arguments against EVs?

This came up on my Facebook feed and it got me thinking we should note that all brands seem to be having problems with quality and consistency lately. The ID4 is one of the biggest selling EVs in the world, and the biggest selling that isn't a Tesla or Chinese.

Hi everyone, I made another video and thought I would share with you lovely people. This one is about Net Zero. At least one brief mention of EVs but they aren't the focus of this one. I asked Pebbles to watch it before I posted it. Her comment was that it was different to my usual ones...

Hi Everyone, Just thinking about battery sizing this morning and wondering if MG got this right earlier than other manufacturers. The new BYD (Atto 2) has got the same battery size options as the MG4 and MGS5: 51kWh and 64kWh. The Dolphin was offered with 45kWh and 61kWh and the Atto 3 with...

I thought I might share this with the community. Was visiting my brother-in-law and sister-in-law at the weekend and they mentioned they are looking for an EV that is large enough to visit her parents at Xmas with their kids and all the stuff they take. I was thinking about their options and...

Had an email from Everything Electric Earlier today. They are offering a deal where if you buy their merch before 10pm today (and email them the receipt) they will give free entry to the event. It is only £8 with the code I shared and free for kids so it is only worth it really if you really...

The Everything Electric event is coming up in Farnborough in early October: Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th. The best offer code I have seen is 20% off. It is JHTEE20 (From "Just have a think" Dave Borlace) I've heard that people wearing their merch (and Members of Parliament) get to go for...

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...

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

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 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 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...

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...
