    MG bringing the IM range to the UK?

    Looks like MG might be bringing their up market IM cars to the UK, they are already sold in other markets so will be interesting if they adjust any settings for our roads https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mg/367305/new-mg-im5-has-tesla-model-3-beaten-price-and-range

    Today is the day

    Make sure they have done all of the software updates and the car is on the MG database so the warranty and breakdown cover is valid.

    Dropping like a stone

    Drives how my right foot tells it, most of the time. Main problem is once you start any overtaking or carriageway joining you have to lift off seconds after pressing the go pedal to stay within the speed limit, but this does mean less time spent in any danger zone.

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    This is where someone selling a PCP agreement should be VERY clear on wording. It is not a residual value but it is a balloon payment or amount left on the finance agreement. The future market value of a car can never be accurately predicted at the time of purchase. The first car I bought on a...

    MG to introduce solid-state batteries in Q2 2025 - over a year ahead of schedule!

    As your location is Oz, thought I would see what the average Ute weighs (unladen). MG4 starts around 1635kg

    This is hilarious

    He missed out the bit about having to drill into the earth at various places, including under the sea so you can get to the raw materials to make the fuel that has to be refined in certain locations. Making us reliant on specific countries or oil barons to run the vehicle. Rather than generating...

    Changed up again, MGS5 on the drive

    I see there is an ex demo Cyberster GT with 500 miles on it at £12k below list on AutoTrader so they should easily be hitting the £40-45k mark in a few months

    How to rebind car

    I got a message in the iSmart app telling me when the previous binding had been removed, think it took at least 48 hours after starting the unbind

    Does the Cyberster use regenerative braking when in Adaptive Cruise Control?

    S in the MG4 is for one pedal driving and means the regen will STOP, S the car rather than letting it creep forward

    Braking prior to crash.

    Every car manufactured after 2022 must have an Autonomous Emergency Braking AEB system fitted as standard. How the system is implemented by each manufacturer and how well they work is down to individual circumstances for each situation (e.g steering input, pedal input, radar sensor, camera...

    Charging Flap / Door not opening

    When you think about it a fuelling flap, which is what we are talking about, might have been used once a week or even once a month in an ICE car. For an EV you could be using the flap 3 or 4 times a day for a longer journey. However, very few, if any of the manufacturers seem to have redesigned...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    As with a lot of issues it is more about how a dealer/manufacturer responds to their customers rather than the issue itself. AEB systems have been mandatory on all UK cars since 2022 and phantom braking scenarios are not unique to MG. However, when they happen they can be scary and the fact they...

    Software from factory

    It also takes 6-12 weeks for a car to ship from China to the UK so any factory ordered car potentially has software that is already a month out of date compared to production cars.

    Octopus and BYD announce UK's first electric car bundle with free charging

    Not seen all the specs and T&Cs but on paper it looks like a good deal. Not much info on the BYD site about discharge rates but they say the V2L on the Dolphin is rated at 3.3kW, you would hope the V2G is a higher rating

    A proper TV program about EVs tonight on Channel 5.

    Would now like to see them do "Are Fuel Vehicles Safe" and apply the same reporting criteria. https://www.fireprotectionengineering-digital.com/fireprotectionengineering/q1_2025/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=2048906#articleId2048906
