Tell us something surprising about this car
People love the styling.
What car are you interested in next and why?
Maybe the MG5 (for the range).
Home charging unit
Wallbox Polar Plus – small and programmable.
Electricity supplier & tariff
OVO – would recommend them, they sorted out the mess that Octopus made of my Economy 7 meter.
What public charging networks do you use? Would you recommend them to others and why?
Instavolt – good because of contactless. Electric Highway – because all motorway services have one, although the older chargers are very temperamental.
