I carry and wear a waxed cotton oilskin full brimmed hat. While it won't keep your clothing dry it stops the rain going down your neck and keeps your hair dry.

SAIC rep at trade show. Makes sense given relationship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAIC_Volkswagen

Word is that VW are doing a deal with SAIC to access the platform that the MG4 is built on.

Can't comment on UK prices but here in NZ it's common to pay roughly 10% premium to use chargers over about 75kW or so.

@MozFromOz NZ owner here. Vehicle delivered in Dec 2023 came with R11.

You blokes often export fixed stat jobs to the poor relations in NZ… And I hear that around Melbourne a stat job can be had ready for the road for the right incentives…

As someone from the other side of the world, a once British Subject (according to my 60s vintage passport), and only occasionally having the chance to tread your green and pleasant land can you tell me the story of the green strip seen on sone EV plates? Is it stock or an option you have to ask...

Mate, I know you’re dead set on powering up that old Kombi but have you thought about just fixing what you have? You haven’t treated us to a picture yet but one stuffed corner is probably pretty fixable. Is the engine and rear axles OK?

Original poster reported 35 to 50 kW. I’ve noted a max of 137 to 141 kW on my MG4. 3 times 35 = 105 3 times 50 = 150 So I think three times is a fair enough single digit claim. Datasheet values do not equate to real world experience. My wife owns a Aust/NZ ZS EV Mk2 SR 2023 MY with the LFP...

Indeed there are small saving from the streamlining. However, it's not much see my post here: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/alloys.14956/post-259343 While the Car and Driver test were done with a Tesla, I would expect the results would be pretty comparable. The key point here was the savings...

In another thread I commented that because the 470 ohms resistor delivers more kilowatts than the stock 2000 ohm V2L cable doesn’t mean you should use it. I expect that V2L use is recorded in the car’s software event log. A claim against the warranty for a blown inverter when the vehicle log...

It's not an MG4 but it is MG, and it is Australian: This bloke has a few related videos worth a watch.

The return trip was uneventful and we focused on taking careful note of efficiency. The route from Hamilton to Waikanae takes you over the Desert Road, through the central North Island. Summit is 1075m and it's reached after a climb from Tūrangi at 380m in only 32km. We topped up there to 90%...

The MG4 does not fog up nearly as badly as the ZS EV.

I’m a little surprised no one has mentioned the DeLorean from the Back To The Future. While made up, the car required a Flux Capacitor for travel in time, powered by fission (plutonium) in BTTF I (lightning in 1955) and fusion in BTTF II (Mr Fusion reactor). Time travel required, according to...

Next leg was the 138km from Hamilton to Silverdale Mall, north of Auckland City. This was the drop off point for the test equipment. Started with 92% and arrived with 50%. This trip involved lots of running on the 110kph Hamilton to Auckland expressway. Great weather, 24° C plus temps, a big...

Fixed it for you.

This would also work on the current MG ZS EV range, all Aust/NZ models support 11kW 3 phase charging.

My wife has the MG ZS EV SR 51 and it’s a great car for the price. However, for long trips the MG4 ER 64 is excellent, not just for the mild range boost but mainly for the big increase of three times the charge rate over the ZS, sustained from zero to about 55%.

It’s an instrument used by radio engineers to develop radio equipment and to investigate radio interference. Plots signal frequencies against amplitude. Prices range from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand. Some of the older instruments from the eighties made by vendors like HP were of such...
