    That might be because you have an MG4 but have posted in the MG ZS Hybrid+ forum!

    What a difference some believable weather makes!

    Agreed!! Prior to this current warm spell I was seeing figures at or around 3 miles per kWh, now they're at 4, or above. Happy Days!

    Quirks of the MG5

    @muttywhitedog Welcome! To answer your questions (based on my experience): 1. No. The Infotainment system should start up with the car booting up. I think you need to have a "firm" chat with the seller/dealer 2. The "useable" battery capacity is just over 57kWh; the remainder is a...

    Android Auto - intermittent microphone problems

    Coming a little late to this but... I have a feeling this is something being caused by Android Auto, or at least a recent update of same! When I first had my MG5 PFL, I used AA via cable, but soon changed to wireless when I found the cable connection was not always "secure". Initially...

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    @siteguru and @Lovemyev Thanks for this! Indeed I can, and have retaxed my car from March 1st, even without an MOT certificate! Its actual date of first registration was March 25th 2022 so now I need to decide whether to "postpone" the MOT test date by a few weeks!

    Apologies for the confusion, I meant it was bought in March 2022! The actual "date of collection" was, I think, March 25th. When I checked the online form to renew the tax it definitely said an MOT certificate was required.

    No, this will be its first MOT (car was bought March 22) so tax due March 1st 2025, but requires a valid (electronic) MOT certificate to have been issued to be able to renew the tax.

    Ditto here. But I need an MOT and third service (happening Feb 25th) so no re-tax yet.

    VOTE TESLA SUPERCHARGES with MG5

    According to the Tesla app there are no "open to all " superchargers in Wokingham and just one in Uxbridge, at Chippendale Ways, UB8 1QJ, so are you sure you tested your car at "the right place"?

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    As I understand it, it depends whether your battery SOC is at or below 10% when you plug in.

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    They're actually showing currently as 2.7. Agreed, but it is what I have been seeing during most of the nearly three years I've owned the car. Again, agreed. But I don't think my driving style has changed that much over those three years! :) But the topic of this thread is about whether...

    2m charge cable - Recommendations?

    But, your profile says you have an MG5 Exclusive, which is the pre-facelift model. If that is correct you will not be able to charge at 11kWh on any AC charger; its maximum is 7, minus losses in the cable etc.

    No reset. Because I keep another spreadsheet showing monthly mileage and consumption figures, I normally do a reset only on the first of the month.
