Standard 6x4 trailers are well under 250 kg. Mine with the full cage and spare wheel is 238 kg. Leaves a bit over a quarter tonne for payload. May not sound like much but you can still pack a lot of stuff in boxes that is not heavy, just bulky. A dozen 20 kg boxes is still a fair chunk of stuff...

Just a throwaway suggestion, but is the forward camera / glass clear? Mine has deactivated occasionally usually due to weather causing the vision system to struggle. I'd imagine a well placed bug splat might do similar.

That was from February. MG Australia have reversed course since then.

It's designed for light duty work. I used ours to help move home, it was fantastic. At some stage I will add a bicycle carrier.

IMO in my case it was a necessary safety update as my LKA/ELK was at time dangerous. There was one spot in particular on Waterfall Way where it would attempt to steer me into oncoming traffic, take me onto/over the centre line before I'd need to reef the wheel back. Brown pants stuff. Once...

After my service in September the ACC and ELK functions were improved. In my request for service booking (two months ahead) I specifically reported persistent and ongoing issues with it, describing its behaviour in detail. I also reported an erroneous emergency braking but that I experienced...

What happens when the car is not there? The most practical means of using an EV to power a home is with V2H/G equipment. Have a look at a Sigenergy set up - they have a battery stack + inverter and you can include a bidirectional DC charger (12.5 or 25 kW).

Not sure if I can extract driving time from the data.

I noticed before I decided to buy my first EV (the MG4) that there wasn't a lot of long term consistently collated data on actual energy consumption and costs. Lots of people were posting cherry picked data in order to win some silly online argument they were having with a troll, so I decided...

It's mostly automated. A couple of minutes each month perhaps. No, not with an ICE car because I didn't have Home Assistant integrations automatically collecting the data for any of my previous vehicles, and not for petrol/diesel purchases either. With electricity I have data supplied by my...

If we travel and need to use highway DC fast chargers, then the cost is much much higher. Meanwhile a month of only charging from home is as cheap as chips. Cheaper actually. DC fast charging has made up 16% of the total charge energy but is 58% of the total cost.

October 2025 done and dusted. 10c per 100 km.

I just switched to Globird's Zero Hero plan. It has a $2.035/day supply fee (we have controlled load so often a bit higher than for those without CL). 11AM - 2PM being free energy, the other tariffs don't matter. There is a bonus $1/day if no imports 6-8 PM (< 0.06 kWh) which we do easily...

They are in the process of moving towards variable export limits similar to what operates elsewhere (e.g. in VIC). https://www.essentialenergy.com.au/-/media/Project/EssentialEnergy/Website/Files/At-Home/Flexible-export-limits-fact-sheet.pdf?rev=801abd1616f34a34acf65bdf4cea11c4 It sounds good...

You did well to get that as OVO recently (in the last week or two) removed this offer from market. You can still get the 3-hours free OR the 8c/kWh overnight but not both together.

Had the Sigen EVDC charge module price drop been in place when we installed the EVAC module, I'd have probably gone for it over the extra EVAC, mainly for ensuring extended outage coverage. It wouldn't have been all that much more $. But with the price at the time it made little sense. We've...

I'm very close to signing onto the GloBird Zero Hero plan. 3-hours free 11AM-2PM but you get $1/day bonus for each day you import no more than 0.06 kWh between 6-8PM. And if you have some battery capacity to spare, exports in the 6-8PM window provide a credit of 15 c/kWh. With our 5 kW export...

Her car is the ZSEV, not the MG4. Yes, on my MG4 at least, the cryptic message lasts for about a millisecond which you may be lucky to see. Many EVs do blended braking, indeed the MG4 does too, just not in this instance. What is level 0.5?

My wife only learned to drive a few years ago, mostly learning in a Mazda 3, then she drove my old diesel Golf after getting her license. She has not the 40+ years of experience of driving scores of different vehicles that I do. When the car behaved (significantly) differently to what she had...

They need to be whinging to MG Australia about the process, not the customers with whom they made service promises. I got some update(s) which changed LKA and cruise functions but not all, the infotainment system was not updated.
