Yep that's right. I have a pre facelift MG5 and the Ohme home pro charger. I bought the Ohme home pro because I wanted to get on the Octopus Intelligent tariff. It's 7.5p to charge the car during a 6 hour window at night. Plus Octopus will often give you the cheaper 7.5p tariff for an...

Hey @GreyPeter I haven't been able to get the soc.raw when the car is at 100%. But I will try it over the weekend if I can. In the meantime I've been polling the car. Under the following scenarios: 1) Not charging, car locked. Polls on command. No alarm 2) Not charging, car unlocked. Polls on...

Hi @GreyPeter thanks! So here's what I've tried. Car in ready state, initiated wake up through the app. Don't see the SoC on the car page though. The battery page shows SoC but it's off. My dash SoC is 99%. I suspect ovms shows the full 61.1kwh where as my dash shows 57kwh capacity. Will...

Thanks! I'll leave it on the center console for now. @GreyPeter I've got OVMS setup and the build loaded. Is there anything specific you want me to test? I won't be using the car much over the next few days. But the car will be on my driveway and I can plug it in and also will have access to wifi.

Where's the best place to put the ovms module in the car?

My ovms kit is arriving today. So I can test this afternoon ?

Hi Peter, I've got a 22 plate MG5 LR (pre-facelift). I've been wanting to get more info from the car. Happy to help test. I'll order an OVMS kit.

We had an Ohme Home Pro installed last week. It took about 30 mins to get Octopus Intelligent setup. And now the MG5 LR (pre-facelift) charges during the 6 hours of cheap tariff at night. Went with the Ohme instead of the Zappi or the Hypervolt purely because it supported OI. The only issue...

I've recently purchased a used MG5 Exclusive 115kw 61kwh too. We bought a cable off Amazon (it was for around £105 for a 5m cable. A decent 4-5m cable will cost you a £100 and above. Don't pay less than £100 (the Tesla cable is £85, but you'll need a Tesla / know someone who has a Tesla. I...

I don't really know. That's why I created the post. If you know something that I don't, then do tell. I don't have a PFL and FL models to compare and contrast.

Yeah I searched the forums, but that post was for a facelift mg5 and facelift zs and mg4's. My car is a pre-facelift version.

Hey everyone, we've just got our LR Exclusive (it's a 22 plate). We've been having a few issues with the front passenger door not unlocking after we park the car (and the unlock button is pressed on the driver side). We've tried different combinations (eg, pressing the unlock button twice...

Yep, it's true, dealerships make a lot more on finance because it results in a recurring transaction. Once you buy on finance (PCP or HP), you go back to the dealer every year for serving, at the end of the term 2-4 years, you're encouraged to trade up to a new deal (new car or same car...

Ah yep, we're getting the Ohme Home Pro installed. It's tethered, which is handy. The car doesn't come with a type 2 but does come with a granny charger. Yeah we're getting the window tints, one of the dealer stock had tinted windows and they looked great.

Out of interest, did you get an aftermarket front parking sensor?

Hi, I would consider but unfortunately the loan is only available through certain dealers ?

We're planning a trip up north early next year. Would be interesting to test the charging points at our usual camping spots.

Does it come with V2L? The dealer was rather unhelpful and uniformed, even though it was an MG dealer ?

This is super interesting. On a cost basis, the MG4 and MG5 are cheaper per kwh than most home storage batteries. Would the MG5 (pre and post facelift) also have similar capability?

I'm in a similar situation, but it's very uncommon to see >3.68kW inverter installations because it requires a G99 approval from your DNO, which can cost anywhere from £0 to £1,000s depending on the house, dno/grid, inverter capacity, etc. I'm hoping my 5kW inverter application goes through...
