A 2.5/2.6 kWh battery is under a grand I have 4 plus couple of hundred for the BMS and Isolators. If you add-on that to your PV installation it's VAT free. Standalone you of course also need to factor in the Hybrid Inverter and you could pay £7.5k. But I'm saving 10 kWh a-day into my batteries...

Thanks you made me check and I'd actually quoted the Electricity standing charge in error. Every cloud though as I logged in to check I was offered to spin the "Wheel of Fortune" and one a £1 credit on my bill so thanks @Babylon Here are my rates on Go And my typical useage (16.40 kWh) on...

Sorry I've not played around with the Facelift model but there may be. The 1st Gen car infotainment system was Windows based whereas the new generations of MG are Android based so underpinned by a Linux Kernal and therefore more responsive which means they don't carry over all that Windows OS...

I'm on Octopus Go and have been for about 3 years now. I've migrated what I can to the 4-hour off-peak including hot water since last summer when Go dropped below the price of Gas. I had got to a position that without EV charging 40 to 45% of consumption was off-peak and when I include EV...

Whether or not it arrives here in the UK it's a great promo video although the front-end styling seems out of step with the MG4 and MG5 sharpness

There is a long chain of events outside the control of Octopus or any energy provider to the home really and the delays in updating tariff data and changes to the IHD so it does take quite some weeks to update.

12V batteries from any car maker are classed as "Consumables" as are wiper blades for example. I've had my ZS EV 3+ years and never had an issue. But that doesn't mean others won't have. once a battery is fitted to a new car and is then OME any warranty on the label of the battery is irrelevant...

I concur. The Alcantara I had on the seats of my Honda CR-V Nav was brilliant. Never cold in winter or too hot in summer and after 5 years when I sold the car they looked as good as new.

I've heard of other people doing something similar but I've been reluctant to attempt that in case the silicon spray might migrate across the glass and caused persistent smearing or residues might prevent the proper adhesion of the adhesive use to stick and provide a water tight seal should I...

Yes, it works but only as far as OVMS functions allow. The issue with the Gen 1 ZS EV was that the whole software system build was different and the Thai Head unit had additional external Hardware which wasn't compatible with the European and I believe Australian cars.

Correct the Gen 1 (as I have) doesn't have an 80% limit sadly nor a charge timer so I just do the quick mental arithmetic of how many miles I need to add to get to roughly 805 then set the timer on my app for the Home charger allowing 1 hour of charge for every 25 miles I want to add overnight...

Remember the VW Group make a very significant number of sales and profits from their Chinese-built cars and those cars are built by the same company Shanghai Motor Corporation Limited (SAIC) which owns the MG Brand and also builds MG cars. SAIC, which is owned by the Shanghai municipal...

Thanks, I'll take a look at that although I'm actively searching for a longer EV so if I make a private sale this could make all the difference.

I'm not sure what relevance and reports of rust on BYD in Australia has got to do with MG4? Please do enlighten me? Should Volvo and Polstar and Tesla Model 3 also be concerned since Geely a Chinese company owns the first of these and UK Tesla Model 3s are Chinese-built too? If it is the...

ZS is prone to make that noise in cold weather. Mine always had and I've had it for 3 years. Some say that it is the speaker wiring in the A-Pillar and go to the lengths of removing the trim and putting foam in and around the wiring which I think gets a little stiff and makes a rattling...

Sorry I was thinking ZS and MG4 which are LFP. The clue is if you can actually set an 80% "Daily" charge limit or not. If you have that option and can set it (I know the LFP ZS you saw it on the Battery screen but there was no enable limiter in the software) then you've not got LFP 51 kWh pack...

You'll notice a big difference

Okay but different BMS in various applications adopt different methodologies. Some for instance monitor at the cell level and manage at the cell level while others BMS manage clusters or blocks of individual cells. MG use battery pouches so for example I have a Gen 1 ZS 44.5 kWh pack with 108...

I was offered a 5 year £750 package when I bought my ZS in 2020 but opted not to take a package and I wasn't offered any low mileage package. I believe that the low Milage package is an MG package not a dealer package but this doesn't include the annual extension of the MG?AA Breakdown cover...

I believe that the resetting of Regen is unfortunately a requirement of WLTP. There has been a lot of discussion about this on various threads on the forum and I think expectations were set through some miscommunication in the early days before the cars even arrived. I'm not certain of the...
