    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    2nd reply, if this is the case , then why do manufacturers bother putting in 7.4 single phase equipment? There was no price premium applied to mine when ordered so cost should not be a factor. Indeed having two systems is more expensive as opposed to the same generic charger being installed...

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    Actually , that's doubly interesting because we have a couple of gites for which we want to offer EV charging. We have the 3 phase but adding a 7.4 kw single phase EVSE to the garage could cover all eventualities , as well as back up in case the 3 phase EVSE went down . We originally chose 3...

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    I do, lets get married , but only if you have a 22kw cable suitable cable , I knew about the first bit , but not the second. I'm only a pauper with a 11kw cable. I do have a hectare plus of land , do you have tractor and a key? Cue the Wurzels. :p

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    I was under the impression, yes, but only at 3.6 kw max on one phase. Although I would love to be proven wrong. 🤷‍♂️

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    If its the same as the MG4 then its only 11kw charging if its requested when ordering as an original sale. That order goes through to the factory and if like myself go for the orange / SR/LR then you can add on an extra couple of months delivery time. If you are adding on RHD for the UK that...

    New MGS5 LR Trophy for 25K

    Agreed, that was normally my mantra, but due to a merging of the stars meant we had to buy our MG4 brand new. Fortunately one of those stars ( the French government ) said get a new electric car and basically we will pay its first two years depreciation costs. So I now have a two year old car...

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    As you say "future proofed " but it will still charge at 6.6 kwh on L1 if its a 32A cable...... just a bit heavier than needed. 🤷‍♂️ We sometimes travel up through Yorkshire on the way to Scotland and have a 11kw 3 phase car, well ? best new mate ........... do you like cheap French wine , any...

    Liquid Cooling System (n)ever active?

    I have the same 11kwh 3 phase charger and , depending on the outside temperature you can hear the pumps running intermittently when charging, lifting the bonnet and the front coolant tank can warm up and condensation can be seen on its inside "roof" especially at the end of the charge. I do...

    Not how I thought today was going to pan out...

    It still does not explain why the vents ( unless faulty ) let in water. Are they not supposed to be self sealing after venting excess pressure . Unless they were also ( not mentioned ) damaged when whatever broke the flimsy plastic shield.

    Screen stuck or black

    I recently had a "update android auto " message come up on the phone, this I duly did. Since then ,now when connecting ,again via cable, its a lot slower to boot up commencing with a black screen then having the android auto logo appear for a few seconds before working . Previously it went...

    If it does not work first time, try again, don't be de-theta by it.

    If you think putting your car key through the washing machine is bad...

    Its on the schedule for the second service, if they can apply an enormous mark up for a " special " battery they most likely will. Same with washer fluid, Top up before you go , they test the washers and wipers then charge you for a full bottle of branded fluid to top up 100ml, the remainder...

    First long road trip

    To avoid copyright/infringements some Youtube videos and photos are in back to front format , maybe that's where the confusion starts? Teslas on the left, salseT s on the right.

    Bizarre fault

    Sounds like ( no pun intended, just can't help it) the clock spring in the steering wheel is a bit dicky. As Everest points out earlier. The trouble is that its under the airbag so a bit dodgy for the home mechanic.

    Snotted and Blotted,

    Not much room in the boot for bodies, and no sideways action, perhaps ( MIA ) Bricktop has changed sides and nationality.? Many years ago Guinness ( now ruined ) was my fall-back Winter drink ( not chilled ) but recent times and forced abstinence from the dark stuff meant a necessary...

    Snotted and Blotted,

    On my way on one of my favourite roads to do a bit of shopping, I was cut up by a Renault Twingo , most likely a 980 cc 90bhp version cutting in from the left when he should have gave way ( dubious junction ) . Right yer bugger I'll have you ! Off he went , ruddy hell that's nippy , narrow...

    I've Succumbed!

    When the MG4 was released some found that some had the under bonnet soundproofing pad and some didn't. An Australian review showed this to be missing on the S5 he was testing . Have any early adopters noticed ( I,m sure you have ) whether you have it , ( or don't )?
