    Consumption

    Consumption's stuck to a little over 30kWh/100km for some time now, thanks to cold weather. Can't really say because the value is capped to 29.8kWh/100km, maybe some wise dude at MG thought it would seem more efficient that way, lol. I wouldn't even think about not preheating the battery and...

    Vehicle control system fault this morning!

    I had one about 3 months ago and another about two weeks ago. Both came out of nowhere. Seems like just another bug in the software.

    Preventing air flow to battery in cold weather

    That sounds like something worth trying to prevent the battery from freezing to death. Hopefully there will be no issues with warranty should something go wrong...got to be prepared for everything. Edit: I blocked the grills and saw no improvement whatsoever after driving 30 kilometres. Instead...

    Preventing air flow to battery in cold weather

    It's -30°C this morning and expected to drop even lower towards the end of the week. Yesterday when driving home at -24°C temperature, in the "Energy Consumption" screen the consumption was around 35kWh - 40kWh per 100km at all times. With ICE there's this trick to install a cardboard in front...

    Preheating Battery Importance

    I'd really love to see actual data on how cold weather and battery preheating affects the battery life, but it seems there is none available - just guesses and assumptions. While it is obvious that warming the battery is beneficial, the big question that is still unaswered to me is: if you use...

    2.0 miles/kWh, normal in this cold weather? (UK)

    Using battery preheating and A/C, having intelligent battery heating on and driving only short commutes it would be a miracle not to have accumulated total and since last charge 2.0mls/kWh (29.8kWh/100km in metric settings) in below freezing conditions.

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    The auto-logout (token expired) issue seems to be resolved for me (logged in with phone number). Another server issue obviously. Changed my one star review to 2*

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    While the UI looks cleaner they should have invested more in the backend service instead. The core problems persist, views don't populate with values on first attempt and service is not available all the time. What makes this upgrade worse for me is this "Token expired" nag. It is a major UX...

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    Nothing is getting through here either. Better just wait until everyone's done updating their software as this is obviously a server issue. Wondering why it can't use Bluetooth for simple communication, such as preconditioning, and the web service only as a fallback. Does it? My car is paired...

    Thanks, didn't see that.

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    Had to uninstall and reinstall, otherwise just black screen on start (android) Now login button stays grayed out, even if country, phone number and password are correct. No leading zeroes in phone number nor special characters in the password. How hard is it to find competent software developers...

    MG4 Lane assist, speed assist keep resetting

    And I see it as an important tool that the people responsible for such stupid decisions to put highly experimental and unstable features into car without actually testing it needs to get fired and never allowed to work in the automotive industry ever again. There is such an unfathomable amount...

    Range decrease due to cold weather [merged thread]

    No. But I noticed this morning that it takes surprisingly long for the battery to warm up enough to the point of "Battery does not need to be heated" message in iSmart app: about one and a quarter hour (it takes only 20-25 minutes to drive to work). SoC dropped 8% during that time. It was -15°C...

    Range decrease due to cold weather [merged thread]

    Winter car = heat pump and NMC battery chemistry that is less prone to cold. Also battery temperature display ;) I don't have real issues, just inconveniences; I get electricity for free at my workplace but still I don't like it being wasted. The SE is really struggling to keep the battery...

    Range decrease due to cold weather [merged thread]

    I wish I had had the time to wait for the luxury mode, as the SE is not a "winter car" (LFP+no heat pump) and obviously designed with warmer climate in mind - apparently users from Australia are getting quite exceptional efficiency figures.

    Ismart app not working? Advice?

    The app has never worked reliably for me. At least binding works, but I have to do everything twice. First attempt always fails. The views won't show data properly unless reloaded twice. Scheduled battery heating has never worker so I have to wake up earlier in the morning to manually switch the...

    Range decrease due to cold weather [merged thread]

    A bit over 200 kilometers ago. Are you suggesting it needs more travel? That it certainly does :LOL:

    Range decrease due to cold weather [merged thread]

    It certainly does not. I just recently reset my accumulated total due to weather getting a lot colder than usual in Finland (-20C at worst, below -10C at all times) so now I have accumulated total of 29.8kWh/100km (which is the maximum capped value) that equals to ~2miles/kWh. Still, the GOM...

    What's the effect on battery life of regularly charging to 100%

    Isn't the battery eligible for replacement only if its health drops below 70%? That's a lot and will cripple the SE especially in winter. Tesla Model S has so much range that it's still usable at 70% state of health.

    Warning Sign ⚠️

    For me it's "Low rear left tyre pressure" most of the time. At around 0C the sign is gone but at -8C and below it's back.
