Ignore that question in terms of it being directed at you specifically as can see in another thread you're asking advice on what spec to go for? However what's it like in Netherlands. Owners reporting issues?

Can I just check with you if you yourself have had any issues with yours?

Bump. Any answers to HQWs question? A few newbies also interested in knowing how to tweak settings to get best out of car.

Agreed. They have made considerable progress in the last 2 to 3 years and this cat was the one to crown all their hardworking efforts. I said somewhere else I hope they haven't rushed it to market and KO'd themselves. People genuinely like the car, even the haters. All they have to say about...

I must really love MG4. I'm usually so decisive when it comes to things like this to cut the damn string. If I'm honest, I don't totally understand it.

But what if money isn't his deciding factor? The MG4 has visual and tech appeal. There might be something else about the i5 that appeals to him as well and he is happy to choose between both.

But sometimes the options and decisions are not necessarily linear though. The options might just be a consequence of likes and personality. For instance I'm considering 2 cars totally different, one is a compact/crossover suv and the other a hatch like MG4. Happy with either. But I see the...

That's really useful to know thanks. Not surprised they are rarely usable for charging in winter. I don't think my panels have generated anything in last week or so since I started to keep an eye on it for my soon changing circs ie EV ownership until 3kw today. My initial shortlist were the Ohme...

That's what I did. I cancelled my possibly Dec/Jan delivery and asked for spring/summer as was thinking that might give then time to sort out teething issues. Even then I still am filled with a sense of dread. Your post about your size filling you with dread and laughter made me laugh. I also...

I know. That price too seemed more than what I'm comfortable with. As it stands I'm not even sure if my system is enough to power ev, I have a 1.4kw system. Wonder if to add mor panels to get enough to charge ev and if any goes to grid I can just collect payments through the Smart Export...

True. Reflected in cost as well

It's not about the Chinese ownership. Its about the culture. Geely have done well for themselves generally with their takeover model but they have preferred to be the money men of operation and allow the companies they take over to do their thing just under the Geely umbrella. I mean in over 10...

Interesting stuff. Thanks. I think that's the way to go once I'm all ready. See if I can use some of my generation rather than exporting more than half of what I generate on to the grid.

Actually thinking about it they at Volvo with their care by volvo plans are more poised to handle issues than MG. Afterall the whole plans are built on the premise of if any issues we will solve for the customer without questions as that's what you're paying for so they must have a handy network...

I think I might but slowly losing the will for MG if I'm honest. I'm aware of both company and the issues but all the feedback I've got with volvo is that they are handling issues through dealerships, acknowledging things going wrong directly from Head Office and not shying away like MG seem to...

Yeah I thought so too but I've never tried to get a handle on it till now. I was told it was meant to heat my water in immersion tank and excess goes to grid. Not sure why they've done it that way as we don't even get Feed in Tariff payments any longer. I guess don't take long to heat the water...

You guys are really sharp and alert :)

No you've not. Very clear thanks. Also spoke to the guys that fitted my solar panels who gave me a crash course on how it works at high level. Turns out since the panel was installed have generated something like 2300kwh and have exported 1316 kwh of this amount to the grid. I believe such...

Apologies for my comment initially. I genuinely had a case of Mistaken identity. I believe now I know Miles refers to the chap who first posted about the MG here with some good information about it. He was very helpful and indeed my profile picture was taken from one of the pictures he had on...

Thanks. Sounds straightforward but honestly complicated for a newbie like me. This stuff just goes over my head. So is there any truth to the stories I heard that solar charging you EV could take days rather than hours for the equivalent duration. This discussion makes me feel like perhaps not...
