    Advice for a new ev buyer

    You don't mention how many miles a year you plan to do and how long you plan to keep the car. £10,000 over 5 years (60 months) is £166/month, you might be able to find a good finance deal that falls in budget and means you can spread the outlay over time rather than stumping up the £10,000 up...

    Special Tyres For EV´S Yes or No?

    I found the video below interesting and the other thing the guy above does not take into consideration is the way the load on each tyre changes when cornering at different speeds or accelerating of braking. So potentially you are transferring a large proportion of the mass of the car over 2...

    The great big insurance rip off

    I always found it strange they did not base premiums on costs to repair but on the power of the car and the statistical likelyhood you were in a demographic that would have an accident or lived in a post code area where car theft/accidents were higher. I believe in other countries like the...

    Insurance , but not what you think?

    Apparently becoming a big issue for Porsche Taycan owners due to information in some recall letters I know the YouTubers below are not very EV friendly but for a car manufacturer to tell you not to park near buildings is pretty serious

    Worst car I've ever had

    It sounds like you did not get enough information when choosing the car and the lease company did the poorest hand over when they delivered the car by not explaining how things like charging the car would work. Moving from many years of driving ICE cars to an EV is a strange new World of new...

    The EV is FULL

    We had an issue with an Ohme charger that would not charge at more than 3kW and it turned out to be a fault with the Ohme and also for my wife's Mini a setting in the car. The problem is there are several links in the charging chain and they all run different software and hardware that has to...

    MG4 Spotted! : Was it you?

    Saw this the other day as an expensive reminder of how not to tow an EV and also how, if you as a manufacturer sub contract your recovery service you need to train the people carrying out any recovery.

    Almost knocked down a pedestrian on Christmas Eve

    I don't think there are any EV's on the market that give the same or even a similar audible warning of an approach as an ICE vehicle. There are also very few (if any) pedestrians who are not aware of what an ICE car sounds like. Whereas EV's all choose different noises to alert them. But then...

    How much damage?

    You probably had the EBA (Emergency Buzzard Assistance) turned off, otherwise the car would have applied the brakes in such a manner as to allow the Merc driver behind you to inspect the rear light bar at close proximity

    Should I get a Xpower

    The only thing MG have said might be happening in 2025 is the introduction of solid state batteries for the MG4. There is no info as to when in 2025 this would happen and which models in the range would be impacted as these are still quite a pricey option.

    Rear parcel tray

    Yup although I may have the format wrong as on the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) it looks like they use MM DD YYYY. As a general rule the date on the parcel shelf stamp the CoC are within a week of each other

    CD Player for our new 2024 MG4 Luxury

    You would probably be better off ripping the CD's to one of the cars supported audio formats (MP3, AAC, WAV, APE, FLAC) and copying to a USB flash drive as you could probably get the contents of around 100 CD's on a 64GB USB device which you can use in any car with a USB connector. 64GB USB...

    New owner of an an MG4 - Servicing Costs?

    In theory taking out a service plan now that locks in prices is going to be a good idea The price of parts is going to rise at about the rate of inflation The price of mechanics time is going to rise in line with wage inflation and the new national insurance rules If you know any car parts...
