    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    Actually my Excite 64 needs a short stab on the accelerator and then plant my foot to get a really good repsponse. In the wet though you have to be careful. Mostly I just get away quickly, and then reach the speed limit and watch them over-egg the situation by barrelling past at well in excess...

    Bloody silly to be drag racing in afternoon peak traffic on a suburban artery. Should have known better but MG did ok😂

    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    A black Holden Ute with a bit of grunt (Maloo possibly) stayed with me till I got to 80kmph until thought better of things and let him go. I wasn’t really flooring it but he surprised me into seeing how it would all go. Felt a bit silly after though.

    MG4 in Australia

    MG9 EV ute to be released, apparently a variant of the LDV ute. Bigger than a Ford Ranger. https://car.expert/3T9rB2D?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExS3VtWllneURaTDdoa3BuegEeIPHaL0JoEP3j3XVOwXkk5-D6DPjKqu2AchqEBUWexdc5v8gIuJrbC36NMOk_aem_ZLy8AIgNde-5OnGXl4HiZQ

    Yes , once got stuck behind a truck that got caught up on the bend with one wheel off the ground. They had to unload the 6 cows he had on board so that the weight distribution allowed them to get it back on four wheels😂

    MG4 in Australia

    Moss Vale to Nowra via Kangaroo Valley is similar with two descents and a climb…two climbs in reverse though nearly brought me undone trying to get back to Yass. I got to the top of the second climb and hit a head wind that dropped the efficiency but gladly not enough to stop me getting home...

    I will be stopping overnight at most charging places so 100% is doable in needed. We plan to get to Brisbane in a bit under a week.

    MG4 in Australia

    L ill let you know, but the roads I’m planning to use are not dissimilar to the ones I drive on day to day. I’m well set up for all the major chargers. I’m pretty sure Dubbo at 337km is doable n 100%. I regularly do the run to Bathurst on 60% or a little less and chalked up 387km in a round...

    Looking at our first really long trip from Yass to Brisbane via Dubbo, Tamworth etc and then back down the coast before going inland via Katoomba…I’m quite comfortable with the 400-430km range under most conditions so it will be interesting to see the car’s performance since I have moved to...

    I’m with ACTEW AGL and on a starter Solar plan that ends in June…having retired though and maybe only doing 300-400km per week I am not looking at any special nightly rate for charging as I do most in daylight hours. I’m finding that the current $500+ credit since last July effectively cancels...

    I drove home yesterday(44km) with 43km available(~12% charge left) and arrived in my garage with 4% charge and 15km range remaining. Having begun the week’s driving at 100% I estimate that the range of my vehicle sits at about 410km +/-10km in an average drive.

    MG4 in Australia

    Bought my 64kWh Excite in late September ‘23, 24000km on the clock atm and loving it. Averaging just under 15kWh/100km on mostly rural driving and trips into Canberra, charging to 100% the evening before my next trip (usually 100km+) and I don’t charge again till it gets down to 10-20% and only...
