You can charge via the infotainment connector which is slow or the second / rear chargers which should be better. A cigar lighter USB could be faster but only if a good quality one designed for a mobile, not some cheap one.

I have an MG4 and a MG5 plus Zappi. I usually charge the 5 on solar and the 4 at night, unless there's very strong solar in the summer. Reason being whilst the MG5 is happy to go on/off all day the MG4 just won't. It will do 2 or 3 cycles then shown as charge complete. That's fine if I'm home...

Well as this is the joke thread, I thought I'd tell you something that is a joke but maybe not a "joke" My son's room was stinking of sewage, really bad. We cleaned his bathroom, checked his clothes, washed his bedding but it still stunk like a sewer. I sat on the sofa wondering, did I install...

I've been an EV driver for 10 years and travel abroad, as in the list below. Public charging should be easy, just avoid British motorways during holiday / summer weekends!

I would do that on a granny lead once about 98% is reached.

I have solar, Zappi & IO + 2x EVs for over 3 years. You do have to plan a bit sometimes when long trips are required or both cars need a same day charge, especially in winter on a weekday. Otherwise, no issues 7kW x 6 hours a night x 7 nights = 294 kWh or 7350 miles plus solar added

We need to be very serious here. Thumbs up increase my monthly contributions score but laughing apparently doesn't seem to. Very serious . . . .

which one is you?

I have a myenergi setup for solar, EV charging & hot water, but of course that doesn't speak to my EVs, solar thermal or pellet stove and doesn't know what the weather forecast is. It also can't link to Hive for my heating or my weather station or know my HWT temperatures. Just a link to mt 3...

If you have solar, sometimes you use 100% of spare solar to charge, sometimes you use that solar elsewhere, say on hot water, sometimes you blend grid & solar, sometimes you use IO grid & solar all in one day. It all depends on your needs. I don't yet have a home battery but do have 2 EVs and...

It just doesn't work like that!

That's a tad ruthless! So, me with solar who has to switch IO off to use solar because they don't have an integration solution yet. What do I do? When IO loses comms, what do I do? Internet down, then what? I have a granny charger, could add a second charger. If you do not use smart charge...

This is the charging map for Morocco. It does show where you could realistically get. They're also on Electromaps but not Electroverse. Furthest south charger is almost within reach of Western Sahara!

There are already 2, a dumb (Go) and smart (IO Go). It's just that IO Go is cheaper!

I was thinking, how far could I reasonably and safely drive my MG5. North is easy, Nordkapp in Norway. Plenty of chargers, super easy. What about West? Well, it's Latrabjarg in Iceland, accessible by ferry from Denmark. OK if you are up for 3 nights on a ferry in the North Atlantic Then...

Thise payments are somewhat higher than for my 0% interest MG5 PCP ending its 4 years and the balloon is similar.

I just adapt / adjust for my EVs having different temperaments & battery sizes. All timers / controls are off, except when I switch off smart charge then Zappis gets a night timer option turned on for the hours I need each night.

I did the maths, and the value of my car is higher than the final payment (just) with all the extras, mileage penalty, etc so I'm keeping it. Anyways, I want it to become my most travelled car of all time!

I've driven my MG5 when it's so dark, it's hard to see going under bridges and dense trees. Still those damn light don't come on; it has to be very dark. Where do I need to stick some tinting to help it along?

I can tell you the Alps, Pyrenees and Spanish mountains do keep you on your toes for range. I did manage over 100kms for zero energy coming down from the Stelvio (2760m) to Lake Como.
