    Route planning ?

    Thanks Rob, I have searched loads , I’ve now got a folder full of EV apps :) I just wondered if people have a workflow that works best, I presume most people know their routes & chargers on the way but if it’s a new route do you pick somewhere & hope for the best or say always stick to Gridserve...

    Route planning ?

    I apologise if this is obvious but wondered how others plan long journeys, we’re off to do our first ultra long journey , London to Penzance, stoping to see friends & family on the way. We did Nottingham but it got there without stopping . To get to our first stop in Holsworthy (North Devon) we...

    What do you think of mg5 insurance 32d?

    We settled for LV in the end, I despise giving money to the comparison sites, they are responsible for a huge across the board rise in the last several years as middle men profit making, a decent price however LV gave us as good a price & have an interesting EV policy cover, they will pay for...

    Nope also , exactly why I was hesitant to reply to the nonsensical statements & feed the thread. Who drives to 3%? Or doesn’t research a car they are buying especially being an EV..

    What do you think of mg5 insurance 32d?

    What if you are older, experienced & have no points? :) we’re struggling to find a competitive quote without having to increase the excess to £500! I just got a quote for £890! That’s crazy .. I phoned a broker & he said it’s to do with parts for EV’s being hard to get so people have courtesy...

    MG5 - OBD to reset HV battery issue

    I bought 2 generic OBD’s some time ago from Amazon, 1 Bluetooth & 1 Wi-Fi, I often found only 1 would work when communicating to the car. & it’s the same with the MG5 the Wi-Fi works but the Bluetooth doesn’t, it’ll connect but not for long. The Wi-Fi is a little awkward but one you set the ip...

    Wind noise over approx 55mph

    Yep it was the first thing I noticed, I was so surprised that the noise was so high, especially as one of the major reasons for buying an EV was a quieter drive, as a sound engineer I’m always careful of my hearing environments, the thought of a whisper quiet car is very attractive . Given there...

    MG5 - OBD to reset HV battery issue

    Wow that sounds horrific, glad you got it going, surely this is a warranty thing & should never happen? Were away on holiday at the moment but still in the UK. I’ve only fast charged to 80% but I have seen a HV battery error message before , can’t remember exactly what it said but cars been...

    Sound system and speaker upgrades

    I had a demo of a car fitted with Dolby Atmos a few weeks back, great sound but yes I’m not sure it was needed. Sound in my M5 is ok but some more lower mids & sub would be nice One of the first things I did was tweak the graphic EQ, what I was surprised at is the level of noise, for a car that...
