Hi dragonfly , I was struggling also to find out , but I did find on the mg web site , it would charge to full in 3 hours on a 7 KW charger. So that might mean it might be a 5.5kw (16.6 / 3 ) charger onboard

so working it out quickly as per my 1st post as price per mile in EV mode then comparing that to the price of a gallon of petrol for comparison, I think its approx the following This is working it out on 25p kw and petrol £1.25 a litre = £5.62 a gallon So if you got 3 miles per KWh 25 / 3 = 8.3...

Hi Sky a good question but you have to remember you can only use type 2 connectors ( not the rapid chargers) so it will will be slower to charge. In the end its up to you what you are willing to pay. I am also not sure what the maximum AC to DC charge rate is , so I will assume its 7 KW so...

oops finger trouble there lol Yes i agree with your comments, and again its a chance you take on buying 2nd hand cars , you don't know the history of them

Hi Sky0000547 so that could mean in 3 years time , when these people get a new cars , there will be a few PHEVs around , where the ICE has been used , but the battery hardly at all. I wonder if that would be a good buy ? or i wonder what effect it would have on the battery not using the...

or do you think the rest of the line was going to be " Help is the best single from the Beatles" lol

Hi Gelf Looking at the fuel consumption economy of the normal MG HS 1.5 t petrol car , you look like you achieved its expected 35-37 MPG ( 12-13 KM/l ) when you were on petrol. Remembering once the battery is used up , then basically the phev reverts to the normal petrol car , but now also...

Lets hope I don't see this message, but if I do at least I know what it means thanks for finding this out.

Hi Soton I have also used the onboard sat nav , and once it loaded it was good , perhaps you should give that a try

Hi Henri8 thanks for taking the time to do this , and yes hopefully it will get noticed.

Hi Simon, I assume it will work any where in the car. I use Waze in my phone ( which needs GPS) and it works with my phone plugged in the usb socket and resting in that space

We all have different ways of working out the economy of our cars. I decided to look at it from the cost of both petrol and electricity ( as its also a fuel ) for the phev against just petrol for my KIA. In the end we both came to the same conclusion its cheaper to run the phev than an ICE :) ...

I agree the hs phev is a great looking car in and out and so comfortable to drive. You need to work out the best way to use it for your circumstance, You can see my mileage I am getting in my post "whats your fuel economy"

Sorry to hear the problems. All car manufacturers have bad cars , but what sorts out the good from the bad is the after sales help. I only hope the MG place you got it from steps up and sorts the issues out promptly as it does not take long for a manufacturer to get a bad name , especially in...

Hi OzzieMick I think you have summed it up well. On the bad points , Sign detection works in UK , but I use Waze in auto android , and that has it , and also bleeps when you go over the speed limit. Yes no knobs for climate control is a pain but you get used to it as normally I set it ( if at...

Henri8 looked at this in his post freezing or fuelling

You can put the fan blower on LO and that does not start the engine , but will blow cold air, but that should clear the windscreen. Then all you have to do is put the heated seats on , so you will be warm. I have yet to try this in the winter but I have done it recently as I have only just got...

That is correct if you want heating , it comes the same way as any ICE car. The engine has to get hot ( and I think its the actual water that goes into the heater) and the heat is blown into the car. Remember to press the EV button ( a green led shows) to force it into EV mode, otherwise when...

Hi MrHoward no , not seen any issues with the screen. I'm curious what the other issues you had that were software problems
