    Solar battery and V2L

    ... not quite the original question, as its not really possible, but this may be of use - i.e. to stop your ESS discharging during those extra IOG slots - I'm also a beginner to home assistant - you dont need such a fancy set up - I got a PI 4, poweved by my home router (USB), used the SD card...

    Twelve Volt Battery Dead after 2 Week Holiday

    Not sure this is of use or not - SE model from Sept 22, have left the car for over 2 weeks a number of time with no issue. See attached, the car seems to ping the network every hour, after activity / use. In my case in 24hrs, the battery drops around 0.3v with no use. What I think happens...

    Solar battery and V2L

    By far the easiest is to get on Intelligent Octopus Go, plug in the car charger and 99% of the time it will give you an immediate charge slot (i.e. charging at 7p), and just manually switch-on the Giv Energy device to charge, I never plug in at night, but when we get home ~ 3pm, and unplug at...

    A good alternative EV

    Yes, I've just looked at Harry's garage review - a single button - just like the heater controls / google maps built in / heated seats as standard. I'm seriously thinking about this car, it just seems to tick every box, although I think I'll go for the default colour, even though Im a black or...

    EU MG4 (all variants) - Service campaign SC077 is out, improving lane assist performance

    Whilst this is tremdous news, and clearly a step forward - I'll await feedback on here, before I allow MG to update anything on my 30/9/22 SE - as my LKA defaults to OFF! - At service I always decline any updates (every time the service desk seem delighted🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️) - do wonder if this new update...

    What happens below battery 5%?

    Just doing that now (y) (I have no control on the Ohme/Octopus charge rates, just happy that its 7p) - I'll check out the new SoH (via car scanner) later today.

    New owner of an an MG4 - Servicing Costs?

    ... just go onto the MG website (link), where you will get the same price accross the UK - mine came through something called plan my service, 1 & 3 are around £120, 2 is around £220, and the later ones are in the £200-£300 range, until no 6 which recycles to £120 again - for the AA cover alone...

    What happens below battery 5%?

    Not much (albeit on an SE) - Its very stable and linear all the way down to zero (in the last 2% it doesn't allow power above a certain threshold) - I had an extra journey today that I needed to do, the car was still fine down to its last few miles - I've found that when its display is at 0% (on...

    MG4 51kWh LFP Battery Health

    I find the most reliable way is to read the total energy consumption from last charge on the display, I always charge to 100% so when its at a simple marker point e.g. 50% battery left, if my total consumtion is 24kWh (it was last time I checked), then I know that the car is using around 48kWh...

    MG4 51kWh LFP Battery Health

    Knock the charge rate down to 3.44Kw - it has many benefits :) - incl. cheap charging as soon as one plugs in??

    Car shut down

    I've had it once (at traffic lights) - (put hazards on / raise your hand out of window to warn others behind) lift your bum off the seat - lock and unlock, press brake, and it should have rebooted, so you can select drive - feels like a life time, but was before the lights changed back to Red 😓

    North Wales Chargers

    Basically, you have Tesla in Flint, and a few 50kW chargers dotted around - Tesla have been promising one on Bangor for over 3 years - we had an absolute gem via Vendelectric @ Talacre Beach Resort which was charged by the hour / not per kWh, overnight to fully fill the MG4 was between £2-3 /...
