    It's been rock solid for me with the following settings: I also disabled other connections to the car.

    MG4 in Australia

    Lots of cool names right across the nation. Have travelled the roads out there many times, often for bicycle racing. One race from Cootamundra looped through Stockinbingal and Wallendbeen. The Dubbo to Nyngan race had intermediate sprints at Nevertire and Trangie. What's more amazing is the...

    MG4 in Australia

    Fair enough. The Newell and New England highways are an acquired taste.

    MG4 in Australia

    I think for MEL-BNE the NSW coastal route is faster, a better road by far, and more charger options. With one exception (Coffs Harbour which will have an all access Tesla supercharger by end of this year), this is a Tesla supercharger-only option which works for our Essence 64: For the VIC...

    Consumption

    110 km/h highway driving is typically 17.5-18.5 kWh/100 km.

    MG4 in Australia

    I guess it depends on how far, how often and where. I'm less familiar with the DC charge station density and reliability in Victoria. Certainly I'd expect most trips would be quite doable in the 51, just the extra 80km of range can be pretty helpful depending on where you are headed.

    MG4 in Australia

    What sort of driving are you planning to do? The extra range and faster DC charging is handy if you do plan on doing highway journeys. Else as a mostly town/city/urban runabout the 51 is perfect.

    Apple CarPlay

    Before I used the wireless CarLinkit, I had constant trouble with Apple Carplay until I started using the shortest genuine Apple USB cable (50 cm). I probably went through eight or more other cables and none worked reliably, or at all. With CarLinkit, it works reliably but does need some very...

    So, Long Range you say ?

    I've been charting our 100% SOC range estimate to show how it varies depending on what driving we've been doing and changes in conditions. This is for 64 kWh Essence (Trophy) model. It's no different to the range estimates in ICEVs we've had for donkey's years which are also based on recent...

    MG4 in Australia

    I know what's good for me and left the colour choice to my wife. Turned out it was a model the dealer already had in stock so no waiting.

    MG4 in Australia

    I posted the official report link to that video's comment section later on when it came out. Was never acknowledged. I frequent another forum (DIY Solar) and boy the conspiracy theories run thick and fast over there. I came upon a wall of people who were more inclined to believe the official...

    MG4 in Australia

    You're a bit late to the party, this discount offer and chat here about it has been ongoing since mid-September. People have been snapping up some awesome deals on MG4. October's sales figure will be very interesting. MG Australia were not selling MG4s as fast as they had hoped, so decided on...

    MG Australia slashes MG4 price

    I'm with you Kev. Indeed yesterday was our first full year. Some stats: Cost of solar PV and grid charging has dropped a lot in the last six months with changes in retail electricity options. Charging from home is now stupid cheap (less than 25c/100km), the above reflects the full year...

    Current charging limit

    I have an automation which drops the charge rate back if necessary to ensure our supply circuit does not overload.
