Ohm-I. Watt are they playing at. There will surely be some resistance to this, at least Faraday-or-two. Particularly from the hoorah-Henrys.

Wire you blowing a fuse over it? Things can't stay static, after a surge of buying. Those in power are probably lightning the direct load on the taxpayer but they can't keep alternating from the current situation.

Socket to 'em BoJo :-)

Cars already on order are not affected apparently. Still waiting for mine. No idea when I will see it but I’m not too fussed. The second hand value of a newly registered car is currently around £9,000 more than I am paying for it. Wish I had ordered a few more.

Does this affect grants for charging at ohm?

I am sure opinion is polarised over this, and some will try to rectify the situation, opinion will alternate currently.

Is this for all electric cars, or only Volts-Wagon models?

I'm positive it is all of them.

Seems EVs are still pretty popular somewhere, just not hereabouts :-)

I really like the "5" estate in metallic blue.

There was a deal today where New Car Discount had a few battery ZS models with a small discount but these have gone very quickly.

Seems with the MG5 there are many who ordered months back and are still waiting yet others have virtually walked into a showroom and walked out with a new one. I think some dealers are strict that they only order from the factory when an order is with them but others take a punt and order some in. When there isn't a huge range of variants that's a fairly safe bet I suppose.

Mine is red btw. Did a Luton airport pickup yesterday, 112 mile round trip for about £1.50 in electricity. I didn't hang about either... Mine cheap rate goes up by 50% at the end of the month though.
