When are you going fully electric?

Perfect, not even close, lets just shoot for adequate. You just needs the 12 digit code on the new keeper green slip. So away from perfect i assume this is now illegal as you are driving an untaxed road vehicle?

'Even the MG4 forum?' Surely thats full of the same OAPs?

No more 'perfect' advice for you then.

It seems that even the MG4 Forum don't have a proper answer on the Park button and the last time I taxed a car was 1978.

Have you downloaded the manual?

So now this thread has degraded to how do i drive & park my car and how do i tax it.

Enthralling chat.

We could have the “I’m not buying an EV because they don’t meet my needs, followed by EV owners getting all defensive and insisting that all possible reasons for not getting one can be dismissed” argument for the millionth time instead if you’d prefer.

It’s almost as if the thread has run it’s course.

I think you are right there, new cars are interesting enough to discuss though.

Yes thank you, I got it the other day.
That also doesn't really show when to use the big button or the small button.
I'll just keep pressing the big one and forget the other one is there.

This is still the top reply for me below, somebody with a bit of sense.

I'll happily switch to an EV when they match my own personal driving use.

It’s also worth noting that this thread has a LOT of good information in it regarding ways of charging, tips and tricks to get it cheap and how best to do it to preserve the battery etc. It’s all stuff which can put people off if they don’t know about it and just read the tabloid headlines.

EV ownership isn’t ideal for every situation requires more thinking and planning than an ICE car does, but the running cost savings are huge if you can make it work.

Maybe the thread title should be changed to ‘The one and only EV ownership thread’ and we won’t get as many people coming in and posting ‘never’ before never being seen again…

If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't have had one.
It's a bit sad when somebody calls you out on asking questions though because they know and I don't

Oh come on!

You mean EVs aren't that big of a deal to begin with? Buy, drive, enjoy! ACCELERATE lol
