I went on the OVO app to apply for a 7kw charger since the install price was quoted circa £1k. The attraction was the 7p/kw hr anytime tariff. I’m paying 24p/kwhr on my current tariff using a granny charger. When the charger install company got back to me they were talking an install figure of...

Good to know it’s not a fault👍

Thanks for those replies. I’m fortunately only doing a 7 mile commute. I just charged to 100% and will run it down to around 10% over next week.

I just noticed that I have an indicated range of only 285km with 100% battery, which is disturbing. Recent 1st year service at 7000 miles states battery is 100% on tick box. Since the service I’ve noticed my efficiency is in the low 2’s regardless of how I drive, but I have been using the heated...

I’m having the same issue. The aftermarket Panasonic music system in my 2011 Transit van remembers my iPhone 15pro max even after not using the van for a month!! In contrast, our MG4 Xpower excels in forgetting my wife’s phone as well as mine just overnight. Even informs us that there is no...

I was at an ‘any EV’ Tesla charger bank (6 stations at Kingsley Village off A30 in Cornwall) where there was one Ice Car just parked in a charging bay and another Tesla using the tethered lead for charger 1 but parked in bay 2. Very irritating. Luckily it wasn’t busy and one Tesla was finished...

I wish I could get my X Power to remember my phone on bluetooth!!!! I have an aftermarket Panasonic system in my Transit which faultlessly connects to my iPhone every time. In contrast, my MG4 is really poor on bluetooth. I just connect it to Apple Car Play because the bluetooth connection is so...

Thank you for that post. I was just puzzling how my app was giving me real time data when there was no wi-fi. Hopefully that doesn’t mean that someone in China can take control of the car at any time?

It’s due in soon so I’ll definitely check?

I test drove an X Power Sept 2023. Came back with a big grin, so took a deep breath and ordered on the spot. Went with PCP so we had the option of handing it back if things went awry! The metallic green looked amazing under the showroom lights. My wife liked the volcano orange, but we chose...

Glad to find the app is not important. Mine won’t even scan the QR code. The car is great but the software is a pain. The bluetooth connection to my phone has to be continually re-paired, lane assist, collision assist…..argh!
