My lease is through a company car scheme, so the lease company own the car I am effectively just renting (leasing) it. The lease company manage everything to do with the car, they insure it, tax it, service it and fix any problems with it. All I do is fill it with electricity and drive it, as...

If you can see the car through a window you never have to guess the app has worked as it will light up like a Christmas tree when it turns on the HVAC. I have found the app useful for tracking the car, when it was off for a service and the pre conditioning, warms all the door seals up before...

Saw this the other day discussing how jaGuar have treated their EV customers over the last few years, doesn't really scream premium brand customer care...

Should probably mention the efficiency stats are best/worst between charges. On warm days and short trips I have seen readings between 4 and 5 miles/kWh indicated, but these are one off trips so the stats tend to average things out.

Not sure if the MG3 Hybrid runs in the same way as the ZS Hybrid+ but this is something you might need to be aware of

This link might come in handy, just need some AI ANPR attached :LOL: ... https://www.motorwaycameras.co.uk/

Yup, only 6003 miles, my lease is contracted for 8,000 a year And yes that is the efficiency I am seeing, which for a sub 4s 0-60 car, with 4 wheel drive I am ok with. (not seen real life figures for similar performance from other manufacturers). As for the number of charging sessions a round...

Just at my 1 year of ownership so thought I would post some stats: Total miles: 6003 Total energy costs: £447.07 Cost per mile: £0.07 Total energy used 2181.23kW Best GOM estimate: 238 miles Worst GOM estimate: 181 miles Best efficiency: 3.6 miles/kWh Worst efficiency: 2.2 miles/kWh Number...

My first "hot hatch" in the early 1990's was one of these, 16 valves being the headline feature, so they called it a GTI-16 😁 ...

Have read some articles that say manufacturers using soy based instead of PVC based wiring might be the issue., but also seen other articles saying this is not the case https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a21933466/does-your-car-have-wiring-that-rodents-think-is-tasty/

My dashcam is on the 12V, powers up with bum on seat, then does a reboot with traction power activation (foot on brake). Turns off with full power down (locking car)

Had this incident with a Tesla the other day. Guess they thought nothing would match them off the line. Does show how rubbish the brakes were as they overshot the red light. https://www.ianbarnettimages.com/Vehicles/MG4/n-ZN9dTC/i-z94qfff/A

Must be leaving the door open for another Green XPower owner to break the sub 1 minute lap time, can see you booking a hotel now ;)

I noticed this behaviour today as I was sitting in the car downloading some dashcam footage. Charging cable connected to the car Car has reached the set charge state Car is outside the charger set charging window With the HVAC on the car shows it is pulling between 0 and 3-ish kW With the HVAC...

Had a quick check on the app, the Adderstone and Harrogate chargers are still showing and there seem to be some new locations starting with the "(EV-OTM)" tag

It's just a different way of thinking about fuelling the car. With an ICE car you would plan when to fuel based on how far you had left to go and what was left in the tank. Pretty much the same with an EV except you can refuel at home and you don't have to stand by the car while it is topping...

Think they might need to be clearer in the handover video as it does not explain the bit about the airbags.

Just found this useful looking hand over guide from Luscombe's in Leeds, the thing that is concerning is at timestamp 2:40 where they show you how anyone can open the car without a key. It does not mention if this would set the alarm off if the key is not present.

That will explain it. I have only ever had one lease car (this one) and my experience so far is, you do anything outside the lease terms and they will sting you. BUT the lease company can treat the car as poorly as they want and you just have to live with it
