    So long and thanks for all the fsh

    I'd be interested to hear how another Chinese EV compares. Until recently the MG4 was my only experience, but we replaced an aging Suzuki with a 71 plate kia e-Niro plus I had a 70 plate ZS as a courtesy car when my MG air con compressor was replaced. The Kia has decent efficiency for a heavy...

    This is hilarious

    I doubt that the solar roof could even power one of those rapid chargers.

    Battery Pack and Battery Equalisation?

    When an equalisation charge is taking place it will sit at 100% for some time but take a diminishing current until the car declares 'charge complete' during this time the range and %age will remain the same.

    Octopus Free hour tomorrow (Sunday 2pm)

    I think in my case I delayed Sunday lunch a little, put the dish washer on early, had a load in the washing machine and tumble dryer plus car, so some of that would have been time shifted but not all.

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    That particular loophole was closed some years ago, so long as MG parts are used the warranty remains intact, and there's no requirement to take it back to the supplying dealer.

    Octopus Free hour tomorrow (Sunday 2pm)

    Sign up on the app, should be an invite on the app or sent by email. Once signed up you are automatically included unless you opt out. Was on Go last year so could really load up the system to the max, although the most was around £1.25.

    Octopus Free hour tomorrow (Sunday 2pm)

    Being on IOG I was credited with 48p for having my car plugged in at the allotted hour. As smart schedule was active and solar was exporting I used 5.87kWh over the period.

    MG4 HVAC no cold air

    It is quieter than it was before failure but but certainly not silent.I just went and checked again and although yesterday it seemed to be chirping but today on Lo and the fan on 4 it just hummed. interestingly the grill vents opened and warm air was coming out of them.

    iSmart not connecting today?

    No issues with mine, in fact it sent me a few 'abnormalities' while they were working on my car 20 miles away.

    MG4 HVAC no cold air

    Collected my car today, new compressor so nice and cool and only 3+ months to get MG to agree warranty replacement. So expect snow anytime soon.

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    When I started my EV journey a couple of years ago I tried out as many different public chargers as possible to see what Apps/RFID cards I might need, and relied on the granny lead at home. Nowadays I try to soak up as much of my solar (FiT) excess as possible but otherwise charge overnight and...

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    My (tethered) Zappi installed by Octopus is three phase capable although we don't have it here. Regarding public AC chargers a lot of the council ones installed in public car parks in my area are 3 phase, similarly on my recent visit to Scotland most of the ones I tried were 3-phase.

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    Mine was £165 from the supplying (now ex) main dealer. Visual inspection, pollen filter and key fob battery.

    No change to Intelligent Octopus Go unit prices from July

    As the title really, just knocked 2p of the standing charge.

    Sleeping in MG4 [merged thread]

    My Saturday job whilst at school was helping out in an electrical retailer/TV hire shop and yes sometimes in the workshop was that smell was there, babies nappies best described it.

    A proper TV program about EVs tonight on Channel 5.

    I bet that guy wished the ground would open up and swallow him when he watched that afterwards.

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    A bit like the water powered funicular railways of the Victorian era.

    MG4 HVAC no cold air

    My 2023 Trophy is booked in for a replacement A/C compressor as the noisy one (reported in the first month) has finally failed.

    How to play mp3 audio files from phone in MG4 Long Range

    I just select 'BT music' instead of radio and it plays, in fact the DAB radio signal is quite patchy so sometimes when it drops out the car announces something like ' you appear to be listening to music' and starts playing the podcast I'd paused earlier on in the day. That's with just the phone...

    MG4 limited edition 49kWh in Finland

    Maybe the 'limited edition' is actually 'limited equipment'
