Interesting, starting to sound like a design fault, MG know about it and they changed the design with the updated rear window wiper model ...... does that match the failed v still good suspension bush discoveries? T1 Terry

It's the crazy Americans with their Tesla designed charging port that are left out in the cold so to speak. The things I've only recently thought about, is regen into a very cold battery, does the battery heating kick in automatically if the battery temp approaches 0°C? T1 Terry

Our MG4 is just coming up to 12 mths old, so I best check that the canvas isn't showing, no guarantees they will still have legal tread on them with the way the wife drives :rolleyes: Somehow, she actually managed to get both the rear tyres to squeal on the dry bitumen as she launched out of the...

As if, I doubt you can even buy shares in CATL, Chinese companies are a bit funny like that :LOL: T1 Terry

If I had a cool $124K sitting in my pocket .... I'd be petrified I was about to get donged on the head ..... but I'd invest it till it reached $365,000, and by a Lucid Air Saphire ...... then park it some where safe because I'd never be able to afford the insurance :LOL: But how cool to roll up...

The CATL Na+ will charge at 5C without a problem, all day every day, NCA at around 2C to 80% but degrade due to heat generation internally over time, NMC at 1C to 1.5C to 80%, but again, continual fast charging will shorten cycle life. Good quality LFP, 3C to 5C, but 1C can be pumped in to...

This one seems to be a contentious subject regarding tyre rotation. In the rag tyre days, it was diagonally opposite swap and the worst went to the spare ..... at least that one has been sorted these days because spare tyres are worn by the driver and not part of the vehicle's equipment :LOL...

Glad to hear you are keeping yourself well informed ;) :LOL: T1 Terry

22°C when it's really hot and humid outside, 24°C when it's biting cold outside ..... probably the type of weather many on this forum might regard as summer weather :lol: As for driving on Ice and snow roads, I'm guessing my kWh/100km would be a lot better because I'd be driving slower and with...

It is broken, The two choices at the moment are: Ternary chemistry cells like NMC (Nickel Cobalt Manganese) and NCA (Nickel Cobalt Aluminium) don't function all that well in the cold, -20°C will result in a 60% to 80% capacity loss .... this becomes more apparent as the cycle life increases...

CATL recently announced their first supplies of Na+ (Sodium Ion) batteries for next mth. That belief that it was yrs away before they reached anything that was comparable to LFP may have just been shattered. My question is, would you choose an EV with comparable range that used Na+ cells, or...

They were selling for $50k including on road brand new not that long back ...... T1 Terry

Yeah, 25kwh/100kms, so the full 51kwh battery to travel under 200kms. Looked at the B/S label on the windscreen, claims 402km from the 51kwh battery, yet also shows 184wh/km, that comes out to the average of 18.4kwn/100kms .... one of them is realistic, the other, off with the fairies...

That is borderline negligent practice, not just a safety violation ..... maybe a word with the vehicle safety mob regarding the bushes failing but MG using delaying tactics rather than replacing obviously faulty parts ...... T1 Terry

Maybe they were contacting MG to see if there was a recall on certain models or if MG even knew the problem existed ...... then had to wait for MG to provide the parts if there was an upgraded version ...... But more than likely, just hoped you would go somewhere else ..... T1 Terry

I got all excited, started rehearsing the sale pitch to the minister of war and finance .... then saw it was in WA .... long drive for a test drive, is that production date in the built in vibrator range, or after it ....... T1 Terry

12 mths in and our MG4 poverty pack has been an outstanding vehicle for running costs and reliability. I would stress that it is important to make sure all the updates have been carried out before taking delivery and this forum is a great knowledge source for finding out both how to check they...

The 18.7kwh/100kms is ball park to what we are getting, but a lot of our driving is at 100km/h to 110km/h on the freeway, and that does drop the efficiency quite a bit. I was caught in strong winds for a trip recently to an Electric vehicle meeting and the 150km trip resulted in an average of...

You'll have plenty of spares if you ever need them .... I'd love to buy the Golf diesel if you weren't so far away, they were a great plodder .... T1 Terry

But will it be unbiased, like all the positive posts about MG4s :LOL: T1 Terry
