    Xpower Battery Specs, Economy and Regen question

    to achieve WLTP figures you must drive like during the WLTP test. And measure efficiency of the motor and regen not the auxiliary elements including HVAC, battery cooling, battery heating, TC, lights, etc. Also bear in mind that an economy of 3 miles per kWh is 50% better than 2 miles per kWh...

    How much battery do the lights use?

    On my SE: When the car is on, started, with DRLs only: battery power is 210W That’s the base line. The DRLs are quite bright. With Side lamps (front + rear) on (fronts a little dimmer) the battery power increases by 10W to 220W With the dipped beams on, that increases to 240W With full beams...

    ??‍♂️ The Voice button doesn’t work on its own in the SE. They need Android auto or CarPlay.

    How much battery do the lights use?

    I have an OBD2 dongle I can tell you how much power each set of lights takes once I get round to find out later. Any one specifically?

    Thank me later... (engineering menu)

    I always wondered why you wouldn’t want it to be automated: anyone can still open the door from the inside, it only prevents the door from being opened from the outside.

    MG4 Secret Menu Mode...

    DRL only illuminate the front of thr vehicle. Side or parking lights illuminate both front and rear. In some cases the front side lamps are used as DRL at a brighter setting but won’t do anything at the rear.

    Speeding notification

    Charge Port door not opening

    so you successfully unlock it, but can’t open it. Is that correct? It is defective already anyway as you say, could it be worth getting a plastic lever and pry it open?

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    Yeah but if you look carefully, the LKA icon on the driver screen is amber: I think the bug simply shows the switch as ‘on’ but the LKA itself is still disabled.

    MG4 X Power Tyre Upgrade

    That size is what the car should have come with from day 1. Lighter less powerful cars have had tyres bigger than this fitted from stock.

    Save Settings

    My son's Kia has lots of buttons and also profiles to save some defaults, except speed warning and LKA can’t be disabled by default but using a button on the steering wheel. Whenever I jump in his car I do struggle a bit to remember what all the buttons do and I do press the wrong button at...

    Mileage from last recharge reset.

    It happens to me too at times. I still haven’t figured out the exact steps to reproduce the issue, but I suspect it’s the timing between unlocking the car and removing the plug if the car was off when put on charge. When I plug in at a DC charger, as soon as I plug in I see the ‘from last’ is...

    Heat pumps in the MG4

    It’s the same for the a/c, the pts heater, the battery cooling system, etc Using an OBD2 monitor you can see how much power is drawn from the battery. All auxiliary demand tends to have a big upstart cost due to demand: HVAC will trigger a/c compressor and PTC heater to bring the cabin...

    MG4 with Car Scanner app - which profile? "Experimental" for MG4? or the MG OBD2 standard profile?

    car scanner reports rubbish data with the experimental MG4 profile if you don’t set the the timeout ATST as FF in advanced settings. By default it is set to 64. If you change it to FF it should not get rubbish data anymore.

    Was your consumption affected with all weather/season tires?

    Look at rolling resistance tests for your tyre of choice. That is directly related to your average consumption. Doesn’t matter whether winter or summer or all season, cheap or expensive, good in the wet or not etc… Rolling resistance does not directly correlate to the type of tyre any more...

    Heat pumps in the MG4

    It’s the most efficient, yet not the most comfortable. The AUTO setting does that in the MG4 most times which is why I set it to AUTO but then manually override the vent selection.
