    Location, location, location

    I have noticed quite a few folks on here seem wary of divulging their location on their visible profile. Just curious as to the reasons. A general idea may occasionally help answers if needed. I promise I wont come stalking and as you can all see (hopefully) mine is set Leeds, others have set as...

    Are ICE cars really cheaper than EVs ?

    Well of course they are....aren't they ? Yes EVs are expensive, mostly, but I have been astounded by the price of new cars in general for some time. One of the many reasons I bought my first EV in 2020 was down to price. It was cheaper to my new ZS EV than to buy a Ford Focus, or any other...

    Android Auto / Google Maps - Speedo

    In theory the speedo should show on Google maps after a recentish (1 year ?) update. I for the life of me cannot get it to appear. Has anyone else had any success ? Speedo works fine on Waze.

    Tesla charging price increase

    Anyone else notice a price increase on the Tesla open to all chargers since last weekend ? I did recent charges while away at Banbury and Portsmouth both were 34p off peak, now 51p and 52p off peak.

    I've been replacing my tyres all wrong

    According to this article which seems fairly authoritative so have 50% of everyone else. Tyre rotation completely the wrong way round. Now I have learned something. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/364252/half-drivers-think-new-pair-tyres-should-go-cars-front-wheels-theyre-wrong

    Mer - Meh or Yep

    On a trip soon and looking at my route a Mer charging stop with 8 rapids looks a possibility. Stop in question is Blue Diamond Worcester Garden Centre, WRS 7SW. Has anyone any experience of Mer, or even this location. I've never used Mer berfore but an opportunity to use my Electroverse card. :)

    Geniepoint sinks even lower

    Received an email the other day from them informing me that they're raising their pre-auth charge from £8 to £35 for PAYG customers. For those with an account a mere £25. Not seen this reported on here so apologies if it has. I will continue my avoidance of anything that bears their name, but if...

    Ionity - a summer reminder

    For anybody planning trips over this summer, or anytime really, if you like using Ionity don't forget their passport subscription. I've used Ionity a few times and once you get the charger started they work well, however relatively few locations. For £10.99 a month (cancellable anytime with a...

    Looks like Electroverse (Octopus) are introducing plug and charge using their card. We know that plug and charge works on Fastned chargers with MGs (register car on the Fastned app) but is not currently included in the list of compatible cars with Electroverse. I have provided feedback asking if...

    Android Auto apps

    My AA has updated now and has the nice split screen but I was wondering how do you get rid of unwanted app icons on the screen tray/taskbar at the bottom (not the big screen with all the apps that you initially select from.) This also relates to before the update, I couldn't fathom it then...

    Changing EVSE

    I have a Rolec, works perfectly well but I have a hankering (yes hankering is allowed in polite society) to change it so that I can switch to Intelligent Octopus from Go when my fix ends. Financially it doesn't make sense but my sense of wellbeing might be. :) When the Rolec was installed it...

    Renamed - the immersion heater thread (was about about cost of SVR vs Go)

    Following on from another thread where @Vipar wasn't sure whether it would be worthwhile switching to Go from the Standard Variable rate, I have created a simple spreadsheet to show the break even point between the 2 tariffs. I have kept it very simple, taking no account of standing charge as...
