Our first long trip in EV sucked. Charging was a crummy experience and we arrived way late, missed our social engagement and I got sun stroke trying to resolve technical issues in the hot sun. It's improved a lot since then with many more charging options (especially superchargers) but is...

SOH calibration requires a deep discharge followed by a full charge. Only way to reliably measure SOH is testing the full capacity of a battery - all but hitting the minimum and maximum voltages. There are proxies (e.g. pack impedance) but unless and until one does a full charge / discharge /...

I had similar at Chatswood Supercharger, charge would not start and plug would get locked in. After a bit of time (minutes) however it did release. Then I moved to next charge station, same problem. Third time lucky charging started. What was problematic was phone signal (and scrolling...

Yeah, nothing says what the time interval is for the car to declare a new trip start. I like that it doesn't reset after breaks, but I have no idea how long those breaks can be before it does reset. Seems an hour is the current best guess. Long enough for a steak and two beers at a pub and to...

NMC cells have a typical operating range of 3.0 - 4.2 V. LFP cells have a typical operating range of 2.5 - 3.65 V. Mostly however you don't take NMC all that much below 3.1 V and LFP much below 2.9 V. There's not a lot of energy left at those voltages. When my (NMC) car reported 5% SOC the...

If those are your cell voltages then your car is borked.

You have lots to discover then! I also noted that the lowest pack voltage mine reported is 351 V (64 kWh NMC).

It does also occasionally require this. Lowest reported SOC I've hit is 5.0%.

Yes, you need to hold the button down for longer.

For some fun I asked the MG4 AI "How do I change the 12V battery?", this was the response:

Dealers normally put a sticker on the inside of the driver's windscreen with the next service interval date and odometer reading (whichever comes first).

In the next line say "In English please"

Just type your question. It's ChatGPT - it'll respond in English.

Which sucks but I would be making the point that you were referring to more than the infotainment system. The people selling the car won't have a clue, their customers are often better informed than they are.

That's pretty cool.

It requires vehicle diagnostics tools to do that. Which effectively means you can't, only the service centre or someone with the tools and knowledge can tell you if the system is up to date. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/diagnostic-vdi-vnci-mdi-with-mg4.17679/

What siteguru is saying is that photo is only relevant to the infotainment system, not the car's dozens of other operating systems.

:LOL: There is a 4WD entry to the beach down the road. No chance I'll be taking the MG though! It will be interesting to see how the local micro climate operates. Lots of tall trees around. The home has no signs of any corrosion, had it pretty thoroughly checked. Steel frame and roof on...

June 2023. Mine is the 64 Essence model. Picked it up late-September 2023. Yes they did a neat job. I'll get some more pics at some stage with it removed. New place has no solar PV at all. Nor any aircon or heating, which it will need occasionally - mind you being close to the beach it will be...

My weekend really will be ruined, this is for doing work, not play! Tow bar by EV Stealth, fitted by Roof Rack & Towbar World in Artarmon, Sydney. We are moving house soon so it will get a work out, then be kept for ongoing duties. Trailer is ~250 kg, leaving 250 kg for payload. I'll take...
