I certainly hope that the 5 miles/kWh claimed for it, (280 miles range and 56kWh battery) are achievable as it looks to be an interesting prospect.

You are correct with type 027. I think an AGM battery is unnecessary but each to their own. Since you asked for recommendations and as there is no real power drain on the battery for starting I would go for a cheaper but perfectly good option, choose whatever puts your mind at ease...

I always used a lead from the rear USB to charge my phone, much quicker.

I know you do, however the titles in the newspaper articles are click baity only specifying EVs and even the first paragraph of your original post specifically states EVs twice and not all cars.

This was 'news' in April earlier this year but this article in Forces News from last month suggests that it is not quite as dramatic or click baity as the original article would have us believe...and it doesn't just apply to EVs (more FUDDism)...

Except first line :) :) :)

I would say keep it simple. Doesn't matter what state of charge you start at just fully charge it to 100% and allow it finish in it's own time. Equalisation done. Calibration charge is different and supposedly has to go from 10% ish to 100% in one straight charge. I have never done one in over 5...

They cover the whole UK and come to you.

I have been apolitical when it comes to cars, I can even separate 'that man' from the actual Tesla cars and SAIC cars from political governance but this news will make it extremely hard to consider MG or by extension probably any Chinese car in future. Unfortunately it is impossible to separate...

The MG5 may not have supercar performance but it's no slouch at just over 7 seconds 0-62mph, comparable with something like a Mk5 Golf GTI, but without the handling to go with it, and handling matters when cornering.

For anyone that likes quirky facts a piece here on the western end of the A55 in north Wales.

If you were going to be away that day and following night could you, if necessary, dump some of your battery into the car prior to leaving as you could recoup that quite easily through non-usage at home ?

I'm guessing same for anything app controlled or updateable OTA.

I was in Agadir, Morocco in October and saw 2 chargers outside a hotel. They looked to be guarded by staff as both times I passed there was a staff member hovering around them, so I suspect no ICEing there! Looking on Google maps there are some around but not many and not sure I'd fancy going...

Batteries are proving to be more resilient in the real world than lab testing predicted. Charge as you want when you want it will make little to no difference.

I'm curious @Archev as 'alcohol' is a carrier of flavour or taste of the things it is mixed with. Pure ethanol of course does have a taste, but at 4 or 5 percent or thereabouts, say in beer taste is more about, the barley and hops. An alcopop tastes of nothing other than the pop and wines all...

Making the State pension tax free (non taxable) is in effect doubling the threshold for pensioners. This is because you would then still have your personal tax free allowance against taxable income. That is because of the difference in meanings of taxable income and non-taxable like in normal...

I think we can all agree on that, but forecasting the future has always been a tricky task. I don't think there are any apps that can do better than us ourselves as we get to know our car.

A new addition to the club Welcome and enjoy.

I see you are fairly new on here, and maybe new to EVs ?? If so You are enjoying the initial phase of ownership, looking into every detail and wanting to research everything. That's great. What you will come to find out after all the fun is that you don't need to know anything at all. It's just...
