I was under impression that full equalisation charge from under %10 was only required every 6 months (as per owner manual) and monthly equalisation was just any % to %100 (ie %30.- %10) but I could be wrong Probably wouldn't hurt to do a full equalisation each month though

Appreciate everyone's input on this post Just to add now after doing multiple round trips since last post to Geraldton and Albany from Perth (approx 450km each way) Wind plays a incredible factor on range!! I literally can get a comfortable 20kWh/100km heading North to Geraldton with trailing...

Just reporting that this has happened to me today, battery stuck on %77 after quick charge (have driven 22km after charge) , was only battery balanced 2 days ago, will need to try slow charger now to see if can reset like you did

Hey all, just wanted to share some basic mods (Vortex generators) I installed to try and extend the range of my MG4. Xpower and reduce drag, So far testing shows approx 1kwh-2kwh/100km potential gain depending on speeds but overall there seems to be a positive gain with no adverse handling...

Respect Bricktop, those times are superfast! Can I please ask if those times were done on a stock car with bridgestone T005's and are just down to driving skills? Interested to see what times you will get with the Michelins on

Same here after testing AU model again, no AWD in straight line until cornering, this was flooring it pedal to metal from standstill, battery around %55 Mind you this was dry flat road, possible that wet road could be different

If interested you can see the various 0-100 km times in different modes in video below, Eco mode 0-100 km test can be found at 10:30min and does a respectable 6.7 seconds which indicates it changes more than just pedal feel adjustment (seems like a single motor time). Surprisingly Normal and...

Yes I've noticed it engages only at a specific point in normal mode, you can definitely feel it when AWD it kicks in as opposed to sport mode I also was surprised that Eco mode shows AWD activation when cornering but stays RWD in straight line, was hoping for a hidden drift mode ? I have to...

Sorry I was referring to the MG4 Trophy long range 64kwh which comes with the same 18" wheel and tyres as Xpower but weighs 130kg less and still recommends 37psi all round Those Potenzad would definitely suit the car more or any UHP tyre tbh, be interested to know how much range you would lose...

Ok so good point you raise here, I decided to google more about the WLPT test and was surprised to see that they apparently do this in normal mode (not eco). It was also interesting to see that they quote on average for real world figures to be a further %20 off real world figures , so In the AU...

Hey all, I am struggling to understand how the battery stats add up on the Xpower. To start with the battery is apparently rated at 64kWh (approx 62kWh useable) but yet other Teslas etc get more range on less battery , I understand this could be due to software and efficiency etc and whether...

Hey All, When I got my Xpower I set the tyre pressure to the recommended 37psi as specified in manual and didn't think much of it. So after 3000km I decided to check the wear on my Bridgestone Turanza T005 EV tyres and was surprised to see uneven wear. Approx 6mm in the centre grooves And...

Hey All, Its been about a month of owning a 2023 Xpower and I wanted to share my input so far on real world range in Australian conditions. Recently I went on a 900km round trip from Perth to Albany in Western Australia (450km each way). Temp was around 17 degrees C, minimal wind, fan on 3 (no...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find out what this symbol on infortainment unit means in the user manual, seems to turn off when you press, I assume related to lights but couldn't see any changes Sorry please ignore, I believe this relates to the rear fog light...

Hey All, have been playing around with the OBD2 scanner and car scanner app to see some more details like amp usage, SOC/SOH etc, just seeing if anyone knows of a dedicated OBD2 EV gauge or screen that can display this info without phone/app, similar to Lufi X2 in ICE car?
