Do you know how the camera gets installed? Doesn't seem like it would fit nicely, looking at the camera.

What? That's absolutly insane.

Please get the AHD version then, the normal 480p is pretty crappy by the looks of it. Too bad there's still no solution to integrade OEM camera natively. Someone with a 2024+ SE could check part numbers and wiring on their infotainment, if it matchs that of early cars. I would be surprised if...

OEM camera or aliexpress kit, that piggybacks to the infotainment's screen?

Would be great if MG (and ABRP) also implemented battery preconditioning when driving to the charger, instead of doing this manually or keeping it on all the time.

I wonder if early SE models have the neccesery pinouts on the infotainment to integrate OEM camera? Anyone done any research on that front? We know Trohpy software works, so there shouldn't be much issues on that front.

There's no reason to charge the LFP everyday to 100%. While it's true, that chemistry doesn't degrade heavily, if regularly charged to 100%, it still isn't the best way to keep the battery in good health for a long time. LFP will still benefit from extra cycle life and slower calander aging if...

Would be great to specify tyre/wheel size and model of tyre. And of course outside temp (and climate temp), elevation change and avg speed. Also intelligent battery heating can drop efficiency as well. Tyres and wheels could have a noticeable impact on efficiency. I'm on 205/60/r16 myself...

Any chance older MY could get one pedal mode? That's be pretty cool.

So kinda difficult to have a ~42kWh usable battery pack, as T1 claims. Unless MG has Renault ZOE sort of charging losses :D

@T1 Terry Pretty sure there's no drop in batteries, that can communicate with anything. As for throttling the charge rate; there are batteries that can do that, even without any communication. These batteries are mostly designed for cars. It's one thing for a no name manufacturer (or brand...

I have the older style non inverter version. It has a TTL port and they sell a RS485 adaptor, but it doesn't support Pylontech protocol, that my inverter expects. I'm told only inverter style JKs support that. There is a project, that uses ESP32 as a middleware and takes whatever protocol this...

Yeah, i keep my charging voltage at roughly 3.55V per cell and a bit more agressive balancing, because this pack is still very fresh and i'd like to really balance out and cycle the cells. Later i'll relax the settings and go for lower charging voltage of course. It is difficult though, because...

Cool! I'm assuming you have access to the VDI interface and their online software?

Oh, 110mV is really high! I do wonder why they selected such a high voltage. As for how the balancing works, i'm not too surprised. AFAIK most EVs have passive balancers and as such waste excess energy when balancing. I also have a home storage battery and i can easily balance my cells within...

How exactly is it not properly balancing?

Even if math is a little bit off, it still doesn't explain large discrepancy he's getting. Even at 100% efficiency, the pack; if it was truly just 10% SoC at the time of charging, still isn't getting enough juice for the 51kWh nominal capacity. So 3 options; 1) incorrect starting (or...

Is phone battery fundamentally any different than a car battery? Yes chemistry is different is this particular case, but everything else applies just as well. As for the battery you linked, i see nothing wrong. Everything they say is correct. Even capacity comparisment is on point, if compared...

Could be. I'll test on mine, once it's done at the bodyshop. I'm really interested, because docs claim it can do it. No one said fudging any specs is ok, but i'm not sure 117kW was actually debunked as not being true. I'll have to test it out on mine, since it's an early built EU spec. So if...

EU spec versions up to the "mild" facelift are rated for 117kW. I'm not saying these exact cells are in the MG4.. Just these "sort" of cells.. It's certanly more plausible than them selling a battery that has actual capacity 10-20% lower than advertised. After all, MG4 is an export model and...
