My upcoming MG ZS EV

[Lancpudn]

Well this is turning into a right saga! Just had a phone call from the people in the end house in the electricity supply loop & he's just got his C-19 test results back & he's tested positive Just been in touch with the electricity people to let them know the situation & they've postponed doing the upgrade work until the second week of February now.

Your patience amazes me. I would have pulled the plug long ago (pardon the pun).

LOL Certainly trying the patience, I started this ball rolling for the 7kw wall box charger on the 2nd November last year & still no nearer getting it.

I've just been reading about Ovo electricity introducing a half price EV charging rate of 6p/kwh for EV's From what I've read you need to use one of their 7Kw chargers & they're going to give you an extra £100 on top of the governments £350 OLEV grant
Once I've got the electric supply sorted out here I'm going to give them a call as I'm not tied to a charger install yet & our electricity supplier will be getting the heave-ho
They could draw electricity from my BEV on the days I don't use the car by means of V2G & I'd get paid for the electricity they use to balance the grid. Win Win & cheap as chips motoring.

It'll cost 30/- shilling to fill the tank full of electrons & with free road tax https://amp.theguardian.com/money/20...harging-tariff

Yeah!!! Been over to Wigan this afternoon to collect the MG ZS EV excite & it drives as smooth as silk & the silence is superb & relaxing

That one pedal driving regenerative braking is fantastic I think I only touched the foot brake twice on the drive back


I don't think I'm going to need me spanners & socket sets any more



















It'll have to be the "Granny charger" until the electricity board update my antiquated shared loop supply.
