I am convinced people to this because they are scared driving single lanes, so they slow down (wether they realise or not), then the overtaking lane gives them separation from oncoming traffic so they feel comfortable again and realise they’ve been going slow so speed up. There have been...

I find the closest the car comes to coasting is with regen set to A (adaptive?) but the ACC loves hard deceleration for sure. You can always switch the car to Neutral with the selector dial, I do this every now and then to clean the brake discs (as there is no regen braking in neutral). Lets me...

Good one @Martinonline I do remember that thread now you’ve mentioned it. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/locked-out.22119/

@Cally specifically where inside the car were the fobs? I imagine the car did the thing where it lets you open the boot while everything else stays locked, then automatically locks the boot upon closing. But it seems wrong for the car to do that if a) any fob is inside the car and b) the car...

I've never heard any mention of this before on the forum (which doesn't mean it hasn't been addressed before of course). Also sounds like something not many will be willing to duplicate to test. Did the dealership get involved, because I would definitely say that's not supposed to happen.

The first thing to check would be the connections to the 12v battery. A lot of cars come from the factory with those not sufficiently tightened. If possible perhaps checking the health of the 12v battery might be worth it too, a degraded 12v can cause all kinds of gremlins.

I fairly consistently get 19 or 20 kWh / 100km, and I think it is mostly to do with doing 110km/h with hardly any traffic around, so I have to cut my own hole through the air. Did a trip recently on a much busier stretch of road and doing the same speed with traffic around me saw consumption drop.

I ignore the speed recognition system most of the time, but do use it occasionally in the sense of asking the car “what was the last speed limit you think you saw?” and using that as a little tidbit of information. Like asking a passenger. I wouldn’t just blindly follow what it says though.

I would assume the radar will be in the same location, yes. But this shouldn’t prevent you from installing a light bar. Have a peek at this thread for some photos; https://www.mgevs.com/threads/fitting-driving-lights.22787/

Can you turn on your intelligent battery heating though? I thought it was your cabin heating that was broken?

When’s the last time you did a <10% to 100% charge? The BMS might have drifted and be unsure of the real battery capacity? Not sure if that would show up as high consumption though, and not sure if it can drift enough to be that drastic.

I think @hojnikb means that the car can connect to a hotspot created by your phone (hence using the phone data not the built in data), and I think @Mouss is talking about the hotspot the car offers, in case you want your phone to use the built in data from the car.

What kind of driving are you doing? Speed, distance, elevation, traffic or lack thereof? Is intelligent battery heating on? It does seem strange the car is using that much

Which bi-directional DC charger did you get? I'm interested in getting one once we finally move.

Nope I have a Trophy 64. The trip left me with about 30% remaining, so I’m sure 250km would have been well within reach. Of course this was a relatively flat journey, so perhaps it wouldn’t have worked so well on @T1 Terry ‘s trip. I did mention to the missus during the trip how the 64 really...

I just did a 225 km one way run in the MG4, and back up two days later, with nowhere near using up a full battery each way, and doing 110 km/h most of that trip. So surely the MG4 would easily do 250 kms. Either way, compared to my full ICE 308 that returned roughly 600 km on a 50 litre tank, I...

This dude shows how to get into the settings for an Ottocast Mini 3 (according to google, I didn’t watch the whole video) It alluded to having a 5 or a 15 second delay on start up, I would definitely go for the 15, most people report a 30 second delay works most reliably on the MG4.

I suspect you’d need power to unlock the doors if they have been locked, they do this automatically once surpassing 15 km/h, I not sure if you can turn this off in the settings. But if the car is unlocked I don’t see why you couldn’t open the door. Always worth keeping an emergency hammer in...

I think those recent “range extender” EVs are even worse, that’s just a hybrid where the ICE doesn’t drive the wheels. They’ve just strapped a generator to the car really. I don’t see the appeal in hybrids, you get the worst from both worlds. You’re hauling around a battery pack (with the...

For those in WA (and perhaps others who would like to have them) I can highly recommend the EV tags from Just Add Noise. https://justaddnoise.com.au/products/5x-2-packs-of-ev-sticker-tags-10-tags-total-australian-made-bulk-pack They come with adhesive backing but also a pop rivet. The only...
