They've now done the competition as a tweet, if that helps. There were no responses on the FB post! I'm not planning to go, much as I've enjoyed their Farnborough events. I think the links get blocked, but just go on their twitter account to see it.

If I've understood this right, you could get your MGS5 test drive alongside an EE presenter! <iframe src="Facebook" width="267" height="591" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media...

They don't think they can come up with a single model that will sell in all markets. BYD attempted this with their Dolphin.

How annoying - presumably charging the car is reducing the voltage!

What nonsense. I don't think MG are going to switch to a more VW-group-esque look (Skoda, Seat etc.). And they've said they will keep the current exterior for the export market for the time being, with the new blobby MG4 for the local market. Not ideal for SAIC to have two different models...

This is why I blocked out my number plate on this forum. It is very rare. There are maybe only a few people out there who clone numberplates to avoid fines and tickets, but by covering up the plate I make it less likely to be our car that gets cloned. Someone could still go past the car on...

I added a remote 'kill switch' to our previous car (Seat Ibiza), so there were two fobs, one for the battery and then one for the car. This was because there was a phantom drain somewhere so the car was demolishing batteries (going flat, then often failing as a result). A kill switch was...

Oh, after over a year of ownership I have realised that with our keys in a metal bowl by the door it is possible to open the car using the door button! I had assumed the thickness of the wall and the metal bowl would have stopped this from being the case. We have now bought a faraday cage box...

The car is now listed on the very informative EV database: https://ev-database.org/uk/car/3146/MG-MGS5-EV-Standard-Range https://ev-database.org/uk/car/3147/MG-MGS5-EV-Long-Range

Glad to hear it. I also had bizarre readings today that did not make any sense. It said we had put 20kWh into the battery (but it is a 9.5), and that we had somehow bought over £5 of electricity without having the car plugged in and also that it was pretty much our best ever day for solar even...

EV legend Bjorn Nyland has put the MGS5 through its paces:

Just had an email from EE saying that the MGS5 will be reviewed live by a presenter. Basically they have a microphone and walk around and inside the car talking about it like they would on a review episode. At Farnborough I got to ask a question about the Cyberster, which Robert Llewellyn...

Welcome. We've had our 23 plate SE for over a year and its going great. We've had no issues with the autohold symbol behind the wheel (If I remember correctly it just changes colour if it is on). It is a great feature for when you are driving in stop-start traffic. I think you've had the...

Welcome to the forum! I see a lot of flats around with chargers outside, whether on posts or against walls/fences. https://www.zaptec.com/en-uk/charging-solutions/zaptec-pro/apartments-and-landlords I realise it is often complicated, though, because of the ownership and management situation.

How frustrating. I don't suppose charging the car on full will bring the local voltage down then, I guess you'd need to be charging a large number of cars for it to bring down the voltage level. You aren't too far from Artisan electrics who could perhaps pick up your issue if you own installer...
