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...

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...

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...

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for a car to ship from China to the UK so any factory ordered car potentially has software that is already a month out of date compared to production cars.

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

MG seems to have a stonking £9k - £10k off for MGS5 sold in June, there are a least a dozen on AutoTrader at the moment

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

The top of the centre screen should give an indication of signal strength for the SIM in the car (as well as your phone signal strength if connected via bluetooth). The car SIM is how you get things like weather data.

You might find some useful tips in this thread https://www.mgevs.com/threads/ismart-update-to-3-0.22048/

Would agree that the West has been party to just as many human rights infractions over the years as any other nation and if we worked towards a true Global economy where each country did what it was best at and everyone pulled together for the greater good there would be fewer wasted resources...

Looks like MG put some offer in place to knock around £9k off the price in June

Some interesting insight from Jay Emm on what a manufacturer expects in return for a trip to review one of their cars

I find this site has the best set of dimensions for most cars but it doesn't look like they have had a chance to measure the MGS5 so might need a trip or phone call to a dealer with a tape measure https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/make/mg

This is from the MG4 manual but the same is true of most BEV/PHEV cars, as you have already surmised a full battery is not able to accept more charge from regen (or any other source)

They already have a concept in the EX4 https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/what-do-we-make-mgs-electric-tribute-metro-6r4 https://www.goodwood.com/grr/event-coverage/festival-of-speed/video-mg-ex4-debuts-at-2023-festival-of-speed/

Managed to unbind, then rebind and now everything is working again, only thing is the Climate and Seat Heating buttons take you to exactly the same screen so seems pointless having both

If you are new to EV's you may find the Jerry Pan YouTube channel useful as there are lots of MG4 specific tutorials, this one is about charging and the max level is discussed from about timestamp 12:00

What we got back from CrowdFlex covered all of the costs of keeping my wife's Mini topped up so that's been about 9 months of free fuel

I am in the group of car not recognising the binding correctly and asking me to get the previous owner to unbind. Only thing I can think would be the issue is the fact the car is still on factory installed software which has not been updated since manufacture in 2023. Will probably end up being...

Maybe try a balance charge AC session (take the charge state to less than 10% then all the way to 100%), then try a DC charge again from around 20%. The charge curve on my XPower is up to 140kW/h between 10% and 50% then drops to the 70kW/h ish speeds between 50% and 80%, then drops to the...
