Go into the charging menu in the car. In the bottom left hand corner is a tab marked "maximum current". Tap on that and you'll get a drop up menu with different charging rates.

You should make it up coming back down the hill.....

I had that problem and then discovered you need to switch off scheduled charging in both the app and the car. They don't sync up to each other.

I recently noticed you can adjust fuel consumption in there so that might make it more accurate than allowing the app to estimate it. That should help the leadfoots.....

In Perth Australia. I had mine "serviced" at 2,000km. They said bring it back after 2 years or 40,000kms, whichever comes first. Don't think it'll be 40,000 kms....

I was thinking of taking mine off and only putting them on if I go on a long trip to get the extra aerodynamics. Not having them on the wheels wouldn't make much difference around town.

Do you do much driving? I can go days between charging if I run up to 80/90% so if you're getting a type 2 cable you might be ok on public charging.

Maybe some fixings need to be tightened a bit?

Not just an ordinary Youtuber........

There is a lot of stuff for MG4s on Amazon- floor mats, dash mats, charge cables, V2L adapters.... I bought a 22kw charge cable for $150 AUD....

I've charged my MG4 51 to 100% once since I bought it 2 months ago. There was no indication that any balancing was going on. Do LFP batteries do it or is it just the Li-ion?

I have mine set to 26 and it's still blows fairly cold..... Now running at 28 with fan speed 2, and it still feels cold.....

You are correct. What was confusing me was that it should have started charging without using the app according to the procedure in the manual.

Charging: don't spend money on a 7kw charger until you have lived with the car for a couple months. I was all set to get one but the granny charging is fine for my needs. If I get my percentage up a bit, I don't even charge for a few days [I have a 51]. Some public chargers don't have cables. I...

My MG4 which I’ve had for 6 weeks defaults to 3. But I’ve adapted to OPD which is great when you get the feel for it. Won’t need brake pads for a long time. Also, having a 51, I like the idea of having as much regen as possible.
