No :LOL: It will be 100% off grid stand alone, solar on the motorhome roof and fed into the MG4 51 battery so it can be used at night to power the rooftop rattler and all the other AC appliances ...... Maybe a small capacity battery to act as a capacitor to keep the current either on or off...

Often wondered what they meant about something being bricked ..... the camel fill up for the dessert crossing keeps coming to mind ....... T1 Terry

I have developed the rather lazy approach and drive by cruise control, a jab on the throttle and left thumb flick up on the 4 way switch .... and away we go ..... even better if the adaptive cruise control stops the correct distance behind the car in front, a jab on the loud pedal and let it...

I'll tell you if it works or not when I set it up on my motorhome roof to DC charge the MG4 battery. I figure as long as the open circuit solar voltage is 380vdc or less, it can't overcharge my LFP battery ..... it will probably be the slowest fast charger ever, but at least more efficient than...

@KnightRider does the IM5 have the noise cancelling speakers all around the roof to cancel out any road noise? I found that sort of strange in the IM6, but I guess it wouldn't take long to get the feel of it ..... maybe my million $$ hearing aids were picking up the sound they were generating...

Always thought they should have been called a CRT rather than a CVT, constantly revving tragedy, although the Gen 2 Prius knows how to get amongst them on a hill it you let the cruise control have it's way .... anywhere from 4.500rpm to 5,200rpm ..... the MG4 is just so peaceful as it cruises...

Not sure if I've posted this one before

Our transition to the MG4 was via two Gen 2 Prius, one with an extened range battery added and the other an ex taxi with 650,000 km on the clock when we bought it. The are a lot of kms between major towns in Australia, the MG4 is great for the 250km to 300km round trip to Adelaide from Mannum...

The MG rep that gave us a presentation on the MG5 and IM 5 & IM 6 last night at the mthly Aeva meeting in Adelaide, all but confirmed the save function for driver preferences would be included in a future update for the MG4 as it is an update for the MG5 and the IM series ..... Apparently, next...

My wife thought she had broken something when the regen didn't work initially, actually, if it hadn't been for the adaptive cruise control and that gap monitoring thing, she probably would have broken something. Fortunately, it was in the 50km/h zone in town, then when it worked later, she was a...

Went for a ride in an IM6 performance pack ........ :love: But for AUD$80,000, that's as close as I'll get to driving one :rolleyes: The acceleration is really "take your breath away" quick, 0 - 100km/h (62mph) quoted as 2.9 secs .... and I can believe it too, but all in a car with plush leather...

Might have been an abbreviation of the last words said as they opened the box and discovered it wasn't from an admirer :eek: :LOL: T1 Terry

We have Adelaide city MG doing a presentation with an IM5 and an MG5 at tomorrow nights Australian Electric Vehicle Association Adelaide branch meeting. Looking forward to checking them out and see what is better than the MG4 51 ...... T1 Terry

What is this "Replace you talking about?" I added the MG4 51 to the fleet because I wanted the wife to actually be able to drive one of the three MG4's so I could keep the other 2 :D The Gen 2 i Tech Prius was off the road waiting for an inverter coolant pump, needed a car the wife would drive...

Perhaps a type in screen where you can complain about your problem and the MG4 genie can look for the fix in the owners manual ..... it can then respond: 1) Did this fix the issue? Yes/No If No: Does this affect the vehicles driveability and is a safety concern? Yes/No If Yes, an urgent fix...

The real problem with LTO is not the energy density, so much as the not handling extreme cold, sodium ion is the opposite, it doesn't like the heat, so not a good Far Nth Qld full time living choice, LTO is the only one that really stands up well in those higher temps, but LFP do quite well...

It isn't real keen on the zero voltage they can be potentially discharge down to without damage, but if I select a 10.5vdc cut off and 12.5vdc recovery, it doesn't seem to care ..... I have once pulled it down to the 10.5v cut off ..... brain hadn't kicked in that not only the inverter needed to...

The LTO chemistry is good, but maybe better suited to heavy vehicle EV use because of their high discharge and recharge capabilities, around 10C for quality cells. I'm trialling Sodium Ion 200ah cells at the moment, 3p4s 7.2kwh at 12v, I can't see I'd ever exceed the 7.2kw charging capability or...

Came like that, I did use a 20 amp male plug ..... but later discovered it wouldn't fit in a 15 amp socket if I wanted to use the same cord from a 15 amp outlet .... so the active and neutral pin had to be filed down to fit the 15 amp socket ...... Sounds completely the wrong thing to do, until...

Hi Ray, looks good, why the fancy readout box ...... because you could I guess :LOL: As I said at the Adelaide branch meeting of the AEVA, mine has worked flawlessly powering the motorhome with everything running, including the Victron inverter acting as a charger to make up what ever was...
