Sometimes it doesn’t make sense, I.e just home from a quick spin into town, started @ 90% SoC, returned with 83%, did 42km, hope nobody suggests I can drive 600km on one charge?

SoC is always based on total battery capacity: 80% -> 51kWh 30% -> 19kWh

Assuming you have a 61 kWh battery then you ‘used’ about half the capacity for your trip and therefore I would also expect 30 kWh + to get back to 80%?? I therefore think that the current SoC displayed isn’t accurate but this should sort itself out during the next journey. A HW reset (12V...

According to the manual it appears to be inside the center console (rear panel) assembly? See link to manuals in post MG5 exclusive how to remove the USB plate from centre console? | MG5 EV Forum

Iirc there is only one account per car permitted. You can use the same credentials on different devices, but you need to login every time you switch between them.

You can get them for less than half second hand..

You're correct, the following 'cryptic' entry is only in the MG5 FL manual: "When using the vehicle on a daily basis, it is recommended to fully charge it at least once a week, which is conducive to the health maintenance of the high-voltage battery pack; every 3 months to half a year, a...

Agreed, reported SoH is usually calculated by the BMS based on a degradation formula which takes into account battery age, no of charge cycles, etc. The MG5 manual recommends (although not very clear) to re-calibrate the BMS regularly (four times per year iirc). By deep...

Balancing alone won’t do much for SoH, you need to re-calibrate the BMS, I.e. discharge below 10% then AC charge without interruptions to 100% and let it plugged in until the car stops the process.

85% seems low, however it would not be the first time that the wrong value was given. An easy way to check SoH is to charge to 100% and reset trip data afterwards, the range should show WLTP - degradation..

Using a standard single phase cable, you will get around 7kWh (-losses) from a 22kW AC charger. If you are thinking of buying a 3 phase cable make sure it's rated 22kW (32A/phase), while your MG will never make full use of it, it will still allow you to charge it @ 7kW on a single phase supply...

If you believe AI then the MG4 Urban is capable to charge around 10kW if you use a 3 phase cable..

Any chance you could also post max cell voltage to get an idea of current balancing?

Spring must be in the air… SoH remained unchanged (95.39%)

There appears to be (at least anecdotal) evidence that there is a (significant) difference: It’s possible to get near max rates even in winter with NMC cells by ‘flooring the accelerator’ the last 10-15 min before a CCS charge (if you live in Germany). Doing the exact same with a LFP model...
