I suspect that you are correct, here's a link to the type of device that I meant. T2 > UK 13A Note that the "electronics" are contained in the Type 2 plug so there's no "brick" like a pEVSE.

You also have to remember that it's a national characteristic for Chinese people to not publicly acknowledge mistakes but instead to deal with them in private. In terms of MG this means that they do not comment on issues raised and only retrospectively fix them when forced to. If you cannot...

Both are too small for an MG5.

It's good up to a point. When new the car has a "top buffer" of around 6% which is their to improve the life of the battery (meaning charging to 100% is not that) and this buffer erodes over time. At some point the buffer will be eroded entirely and the remaining capacity will be seen to reduce...

Intelligent is not a simple tariff but packages up the demand from the connected EVs and factors this into Octopuses mix of electricity. Octopus uses a 3rd party to do this who integrate with the vehicles via the public API provided by the manufacturer. But MG don't provide a public API. Ohme...

No, it's much more expensive than Go. Which is why Octopus are keeping non-EV owners off of Go and Intelligent. They lose money on the off-peak hours and make it on peak in comparison to standard variable. The market has been distorted by the price cap which only is intended for single rate...

It is, and there are two ways if you have an untethered charge point: Fit a changeover switch to an outdoor socket. Buy a device that emulates the car and makes the circuit live. Some people use these to plug into public charge points although it's against most operators rules. Both are good...

Other than don't? Covers scratch paintwork unless used on spotlessly clean cars in environments with no wind.

I agree with your review entirely. MG is moving too far towards the dangerous haptic controls, although it's good to see that the MG5 retains the Mode and Regen buttons. The MG4 dark interior is a bit extreme. You missed the "teething" issues with the MG4 which so far include gearbox oil leaks...

They are letting you buy a tethered Indra unit for £954 on 0% finance over 3 years with standard installation, plus another £3/month if you want their additional smart services. Not the best value, but if you are short of the cash up front it's a decent charger but with some confusion about...

It almost certainly does but the data isn't accessible for us mere mortals. But in a bunker in China......

That's a long delay. I received last week mine 3 days after it was registered online.

It is. But expect the 12v leads to have been cut and the plug lost. Out of interest, how do you intend to replace the SAIC controls?

Saying that a Citroen is better built shows how poor the MG must be.

Not a pleasant experience for sure. Another example of the need to carry a 10mm spanner. I wonder whether you had updated software at the service?

As above, sign up to the Tesla App and buy one through that. Note that as well as being heavier it's noticeably stiffer and more awkward to use.

Nice picture of a good looking car. Any chance of some showing the towbar and anything visible on the underside of the car at the back? ?

Good luck with that - MG4 owners have had no luck to date and have been making the same requests.

The ICE lobby will kick off if EV drivers are seen to be getting such a big benefit.

In that case just turn off any schedules set on the Ohme to turn it into a plug and play charge point, turn off the charge timer on the car, set whatever charge limit (say 80%) on the car and leave iSmart alone. The car will charge as soon as plugged in and either locked or left for a minute. So...
