I've never turned it on manually but did notice the car had activated battery heating when charging last few times when it's been cold. Just as well as some of the charging speeds in the cold (on DC chargers at least) habe been slow lately!

Yes I will do when I get a second. It is snug but I see that as a good thing so they don't slide around, and the bonnet latches fine.

Any feedback if this would be ok for back up to start MG5 in case of 12v going flat?

I keep my type 2 table under the bonnet on the plastic tray in there. I didn't want to modify the car (slight concern about warranty compliance, major case of laziness and not being bothered!) but it's tucked away there. Doesn't clog up the boot but handy (eg at the weekend unexpectedly parked...

I may be wrong, but I'm not sure the original version (before the 2022 facelift) was ever expected to be able to use the Tesla open superchargers. I am happy to be corrected, however!

Just to be clear, do you drive the original or facelift version of the MG5?

A small update having emailed MG Customer service - their reply as follows: "The software update I believe you are referring to will be for the vehicles EVCC, which would allow the vehicle to charge on a Tesla charge point. The dealership can contact us directly should they require any further...

Same as for the ZS - there is apparently an update that resolves it but now being offered as a chargeable update by MG.

Don't forget us poor MG5 drivers too who face the same issue ?

One comment on the above not related to your journey but the cards...I too am an infrequent public charger, bud I do recommend the Electroverse card. It's free, and I found it added an extra layer of reassurance for some public chargers that those linked to the network (which is pretty...

Wow 2.5 hours is crazy!

You've obviously not seen my mother doing her pre-Christmas BIG shop!! I'm sure you'll be fine. I think the main thing is allowing yourself the luxury of accepting a moderate delay if you need to wait for a connector to become available. How long you're happy with is a matter of personal...

Yes it's all part of the conundrum!! My instinct is that the chargers just off the motorway (like Booths Penrith) are less likely to see queues than those at services, but I'd prefer a shot at a bank of 12 like you refer to at Carlisle! But then 23/12is likely to be busy enough at Booths - you...

You may or may not be being pessimistic but definitely worth being prepared. I drove through France (admittedly in summer) and was usually pessimistic with my range even based on route planner but pleased to have plans B and C so I had an idea where to divert to. I'd say if Penrith is a good...

I've done the same will report here

Don't think the app charge status bar changes colour for me unlike the one in the car (that I've noticed, anyway)

MG5 facelift interloper here, just to report on my model the 'logical' sequence of colour change (Green above 50%, orange 20-49%, red below 19%) mentioned is the behaviour we have always had

I'm assuming you've checked this out, but it's worth doing the sums. I'm on intelligent octopus and while day rate is slightly more expensive in my area (~29p v ~26p ish) the cheap off peak rate (7.5p) more thank makes up for it. In my monthly bill it calculates your average unit cost once all...

I took mine FL MG5 in to local dealer having requested the fabled update to allow charging on the Tesla network. When I booked it they said they'd need to plug car in to check update availability of the various modules, but it sounded like only a vehicle controller (I think he said...) update...

Interested in this as well, and also if the price quoted online would be different to that quoted in the dealership?
