So why is there no saving session then?

I would make more noise about it. I really wanted tesla M3, especially since the prices of 2nd hand cars dropped so much but I've read you thorough explanation (even though I follow your thread on this forum too) and I'm leaning towards a different EV. I've driven the car and I like it but when I re...

Imho MHEV makes much more sense than PHEV where a tiny battery needs to be charged twice a day. I own a car with a small battery (17kwh) and keep thinking about how to plan usage given the practical range can be as low as 20-30miles.

I agree, and further I would say that it's probably quite a cheap experiment, regardless who it's funded by and whether we think it is over-generous. I think of it as being like the ongoing Covid surveillance run by the ONS. Several of my friends can't believe their luck at still being given £20 a ...

I've plugged my car now and can see it happily charging on a cheap rate too (I don't see the extra slots in the app because car is not compatible but the charger is).

Is it definitely 5.30pm for 1hr?
On my account it shows: "Tomorrow for 1 hour between GMT". The same message is on app and website.
