Tried to find some maths to back up how regen impacts efficiency. What I have noticed is that the car uses the most energy moving from a stand still to any speed. The more speed/energy you remove from the car (higher regen) the more energy it will take to get it back to the original speed. If...
Just read this long term test review of the Cyberster on the Top Gear website and wondered how it matched with owner experiences here. Can you really not pre condition the car?

Interesting, but wondering if lining the stripe up with the offset camera/sensor at the top of the windscreen would make the offset position of this less obvious?
1 - You can change the strength of the regen to adapt to personal preference
2 - As long as you indicate before manoeuvring the LKA will not impact your lane change
2a - All modern cars have mandatory driver assist systems that you may wish to disable
3 - Yes the car displays charge rate whilst...
Every so often the MG servers throw a wobbly. I suspect this has happened over the last few days as my app has been telling me I have not accepted the Ts & Cs in the car (which I have). then suddenly yesterday 5 alerts in the app telling me in sequence I have not/ have accepted terms and now...
Most adverts are about here is a THING that is amazing and will make your life so much better. Then it is down to you to do your due diligence. None of the original VW iD3 adverts pointed out you couldn't see the temperature controls in the dark.
Look at all the financial product adverts that...
One persons light touch can be someone else's heavy handed, also the car is designed with a single grab handle to pull down on to close the hatch, which will always lead to some twisting motion as more force is applied to one side of the tailgate than the other.
The only way to really guarantee...
If you work on an efficiency of 3 miles/kWh then every 30kW of usable battery should give 100 miles of range. For the XPower with 61.7kWh of usable battery this is about right as my GOM range varies between 180 and 220 miles at 100% charge (and the wife's Mini electric with around 30kWh capacity...
The battery charge indicator and the GOM are completely different indicators using a different set of metrics.
The GOM will be using the previous x number of miles of driving conditions and car settings to base it's calculations on, so if everything were to remain constant (no accelerating or...
The thing is if you are going to design or engineer something that can fail through standard use and not provide instructions (close gently, with less than xxNm of force) or a mechanism (electric closing, stronger gas struts) to prevent the failure then you would probably expect warranty claims...
Wonder what would happen if EV owners started leaving their cars a petrol/diesel pumps while they went off to do some shopping? Once that question is answered the same rule should apply for ICE vehicles in EV charging bays
"Why would I need to know this information?"
These days knowing how to check your battery is part of the driving test

Had the car coming up for 2 years and have used the following public chargers with no problem:
Gridserve at Washington South and Wetherby
Instavolt at Newton Services
BP Pulse (Chargeplace Scotland) at various locations
Lidl (PodPoint)
Tesla at Adderstone and Harrogate
Only time I had an issue...
Undertray will be tough to prove, essentially you have to evidence that you have never scraped it or had anything hit it that could have damaged it, vs a manufacturing fault or issue with the original fix
