Here's Jonathan Porterfield on his experience:

I caught a bit of the robotaxi event from Tesla. Was hoping to see an appealling compact 5 seater that would form the basis of a model 2 for launch worldwide next year. Instead I see a long but 2 seater driverless vehicle with huge impractical butterfly doors. Not remotely suitable for our...

EVs are clearly failing......NOT! Here's a summary of a survey by Fully Charged: https://transportandenergy.com/2024/07/03/94-of-bev-owners-would-never-go-back-to-ice/

To redress the balance:

Hi, I mentioned this last summer but as we've done the same again and we have some new members I will go over what I've learned from the last two years. Having an EV as a hire car is - right now - a hidden gem. Because a lot were bought by fleets and few holidaymakers know EVs, some of the...

For those interested here is Johnathan Porterfield with his latest EV auction review:

This came into force yesterday in the EU (and UK by default, since manufacturers don't seem to differentiate for our market). https://www.autoweek.com/news/a61532276/mandatory-speed-limiters-europe-cars/

This just came out, it is talking about Volvos, but raises points relevant to all EVs, including MG EVs:

Here's his latest: I destination charged at a hotel over the weekend, instead of going to a nearby Tesla Supercharger. It was so convenient and the price I was charged wasn't too bad (57p/kWh) so I was happy to pay for the convenience. Meant I left with 100% and no need to stop until I got...

This is not new (2 years old) but it does explain to me why I have been getting such great charge rates on newer Osprey charging hubs, such as Salmon's Leap in Devon and Bristol's Bradley Stoke, as opposed to the Gridserves I have used. The difference appears to be the charging design as...

From EVM:

Had a great experience stopping here over the weekend. Tons of stalls, hardly anyone using them, usual Osprey "just works" and charge rates were very high: limited by battery temperature / car only. There's a bunch of other outlets including a McDonalds. I can recommend it to anyone wanting...

This has also come out today.

This has just gone up.

This isn't new, but I was looking at the last set of Zapmap charger provider rankings from November 2023 and wondering if these rankings reflects your experiences? https://www.zap-map.com/news/best-en-route-charging-networks-2023-24...

We're going to be in the area soon, will need to Rapid charge (AC charging currently broken, awaiting new CCU). Can anyone recommend a good Rapid charger that works and isn't always busy? We'll be in and around central Southampton but happy to drive out to a good one. Thanks in advance. (I...

Just had a chap claiming to be from Octopus saying he needed to read the meters - but we have smart meters that are accessible remotely and mean we don't need meter readings! He claimed it was a legal requirement. I sent him on his way. Anyone else had this?

Hi folks, My mother-in-law has had her Easee charger removed by motability and an Ohme one installed in its place - we don't know why. I have the Ohme App working on her phone but the scheduling is confusing - she is on plain Octopus Go and doesn't want to change tariffs. How can I set up a...
