    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    Could you convert that to a plug and socket. The boiler requires little power in the grand scheme of things (3 amp fuse ???). I believe if you used an unswitched socket or made sure any switched socket was double poled then isolation wouldn't be a problem. This way you could simply unplug your...

    MG5 2023 Trophy Winter Mileage

    It can allay the fear that there is something wrong with the battery, nothing more, nothing less. The GOM will soon return to the lower levels and the actual range won't magically increase. I'm not sure what fears it will be delaying, as the fear now is the state of the battery causing a low GOM...

    MG5 2023 Trophy Winter Mileage

    Of course it won't give you a 'true' range, but many newer EVers are witnessing the winter 'range' for the first time. The effect of cold temperatures, short runs with the heater on and are causing a few 'what the heck' reactions. Resetting the accumulated trip (all that is necessary) is a...

    When you say 'start the car' and 'before it switches itself off' do you mean unlock.

The app is Plugsurfing and covers - Connected Kerb, Fuuse Ltd., Mer UK, Instavolt, Ionity, and Osprey Charging Network Ltd. Cost is £6.90 / month. Without subscription usual...

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    Resetting the Accumulated trip resets the GOM to factory WLTP levels, otherwise it's showing a range based on your recent driving, temperature etc. i.e more realistic but less satisfying (unless it is greater than WLTP in summer) :)

    Total borrocks. Seek another dealer. Have you tried it yet on a Tesla Supercharger ?

    Location, location, location

    I have noticed quite a few folks on here seem wary of divulging their location on their visible profile. Just curious as to the reasons. A general idea may occasionally help answers if needed. I promise I wont come stalking and as you can all see (hopefully) mine is set Leeds, others have set as...

    Are ICE cars really cheaper than EVs ?

    This reinforces the point I was trying to make. I didn't draw any comparisons intentionally, I merely pointed out that ICE vehicles are not cheap like many think they are. Especially when you add in that most EVs bar the cheapest of cheapest (Dacia Spring e.g.) are well specced so comparison to...

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    As a rough calculation from 10% of actual size (rounded - 61kWh or should it be 57 usable ?) would need approx 55kWh (51kWh). Onboard charger is 6.6kW so would require over 9 (8.5) hours plus balancing time to go 10-100%. - Just about a full at work :) Can't remember if the 5 Trophy has 11kW...

    Are ICE cars really cheaper than EVs ?

    Well of course they are....aren't they ? Yes EVs are expensive, mostly, but I have been astounded by the price of new cars in general for some time. One of the many reasons I bought my first EV in 2020 was down to price. It was cheaper to my new ZS EV than to buy a Ford Focus, or any other...

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    I wonder how many have ever done this ? To achieve 90%+ charging in one go, on AC, requires a long time on charge, longer than most, if not all periods of off-peak available on any tariff.

    Life after the MG5

    My Kona impresses me every time I use it, I'm sure your e-Niro will too. Does your new e-Niro have a heat pump ? My Kona doesn't but I still achieve quite good figures with all the heating on which has been permanently all winter.

    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    Not saying they aren't solar panels but could they be hot water panels as they often come in twos and look very similar. For example

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    That is the correct way to find the SOH if you do not have access to an OBD reader. At 100% SOH your 5 Exclusive LR should show 250 miles GOM at 100% when accumulated trip is reset. As yours showed 240 this represents a SOH of 96%. If you are doing this at lower SOC %ages then you will need to...
