If you drop circles with a 150 mile radius on those maps you would get an idea of pretty much how far most EVs could travel between charges. In the UK you should be well covered. I suspect in those countries with larger land masses you would be wanting the best efficiency and battery size you...

Going to be some bargain iD3 and Born around once this next gen of VAG products are released. All the things they tried and failed at now sorted. Like all the manufacturers who removed rear wipers in gen 1 cars then put them back in the first revision they could. Also interesting how the front...

Have a look at timestamp 7:15 in this handover video and here is another handover video that might help

These are my last year of charging stats giving what the efficiency would have to be for the car to reach the GOM estimated miles. Start is when the car was plugged in to the charger and end when the charger was unplugged. So even by standing still the GOM will change it's mind, I am assuming...

Problems with cars are not limited to EVs or any one brand. Off the top of my head the issues I have read about are Kia and Hyundai CCU (charing unit ) failures across all models (mostly Ioniq 5 and EV6). Porsche Taycan (again first gen) numerous battery issues including Porsche sending letter...

Be interesting to see what an AI search BOT does with the site stats. Most points or most posts, might give a BOT conclusion that every MG query must be sent to LenEV2016 for a response 😁

Charging curves are always handy to know so you can balance how much charge to put in between stops and how long you will have to wait to get to a certain level of charge. This site has some info for the S5 Long Range https://evkx.net/models/mg/mgs5/mgs5_ev_long_range/chargingcurve/ Standard...

According to MG's EU data declaration the cars basic systems use 1MB of data per operating hour https://www.mgmotor.eu/eu-data-act

For a long trip I go with how many miles are left and leave a 30-50 mile buffer when planning charging stops just in case the ambient temp changes or the charger(s) I plan to use do not work. For daily driving usually charge up to 80%, after charge gets down to around 20%. Also schedule in...

Is your daily use/schedule with the car always the same. My car will go into deep sleep mode (so even the app can't reach it) after about 24 hours of not being used. So maybe this is your car checking a system and turning it off. Also check if you have battery heating on as it maybe the car is...

Welcome to software based driving. Could be worse... ...you appear to be trying to drive somewhere, let me help you with that

Depends how far each car has to go on any given day. We have an XPower and a Mini electric, you can get the Mini to 100% pretty much overnight where the MG will take 2 nights. If you never let the battery charge get too low you could probably top up either to 100% for any given long trip...

This is what happens when Mercedes AEB decides to jam on the anchors

One of the problems with all this discounting is that some folk and probably those using company leasing options will be paying the RRP prices whilst others are purchasing with up to £20k off list. That is really going to mess with used values. If you were going to trade in a car 6 months after...

Go fast in reverse and use the brakes, as regen does not apply going backwards. Reverse parking helps with this.

There are also different schools of thought on when it is best to use more or less regen. The thinking goes that more more energy you wipe off of the car the more you will need to get it back to where it was. So allowing more coasting and less regen gives better efficiency than high regen and...

Good deal on a delivery mileage MGS5 or a Vauxhall Mokka

Considering the huge impact tyres have on the comfort and handling of any car I think someone is missing a trick by not providing a tyre try before you buy service. Put down a deposit, narrow your selection down to 3 tyres, you can get each set on the car for 24 hours. At the end of the test you...

You can also try the holding down the home button reboot before the battery disconnect as that sometimes wakes things up

Many moons ago when Citroen produced the early Picasso models they ran out of glass roofs on the production line. It was cheaper to keep the line running and just produce cars without that "feature". It is pretty much the same for all production lines, more cost effective to keep them running...
