    Battery balancing. No

    I think my first balance charge took over two hours before my Zappi charger showed that the car wasn't drawing any charge.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    It's ironic that the British Prime Minister attended the Earthshot prize in Rio yet his government is not supporting those of us you have decided to change to a greener form of transport.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    I think the Conservative shadow chancellor sums it up by saying "If you own it, Labour will tax it"

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    It looks like from 2028 EV drivers are going to be paying 3p per mile on top of road tax. They say it's to fill the alleged black hole and to even up the amount EV drivers pay for using the road compared to ICE vehicles. Once again the government after encouraging drivers to buy one sort of...

    It doesn't work on two accounts. And no I'm not saying which ones 😁

    Lane departure warning and forward collision warning systems

    I only occasionally have this problem but I do have the AC running most of the time which dries the air before it enters the car keeping the moisture level down.

    New MG parts warehouse for UK

    It might also bring down insurance costs as they haven't got to provide courtesy cars for as long.

    Rfid? Debit card ? Charging ?

    As @Data mentioned above it might be worth getting the Electroverse card and app and linking your debit card to it. You don't have to be an Octopus customer, although if you are they will add the payment to your monthly bill, and you don't get the pre-charge...

    2000 mile review

    The MG5 is front wheel drive so it is more prone to spinning its wheels whereas the MG4 and MGS5 are rear wheel drive so although they don't spin the wheels as readily they can send the back end out sideways if accelerating hard on a greasy traffic island. The MGS5 limits the power to the...

    New car payment upfront without viewing

    I bought my pre-registered MGS5 from Stoneacre in Derby and had to pay the balance between the trade-in value of my MG4 and the purchase price of the "new" car in full a couple of days before I collected it.

    Screen brightnes

    You can change the driver's screen brightness by going into Settings and the second option from the top is Cluster brightness giving you the options of Low, Medium and High. You can set one level with the lights off and then by turning the lights on set a different level. The car will remember...

    EV Chargers

    You need to also consider if you are thinking of getting solar panels and or a house battery in the future weather to get one that integrates with them which is why I got the Zappi.

    Range - 80%

    I'd start looking for a charger depending on the range left according to the GOM and what I would feel comfortable with. Using the % left will give a different range depending on the time of year and how you've been driving.

    Good Deal ATM with Amazon on Type 2 Charging Leads 5m, 8m or 10m long

    I haven't used mine in the wild either but I do use it for charging at home as I have an un-tethered charger. I notice Tesla still doesn't have them for sale on the app. Perhaps they got pissed off with all the non Tesla owners buying them.

    MGS5 - Underrated

    You can change the sensitivity of the concentration warning although some owners who wear glasses seem to get more warnings than others. The clock can be altered in the settings which is found by swiping left on the main screen. I suggest, if you haven't done so already, sit in the car with a...

    Clocks going back to GMT

    I know. People's lives are so full and busy that they haven't got time to left swipe and change a setting twice a year. Much better to have it done automatically so they can spend the time saved looking at one more post on Faceache 🤣
