mg5 lr using the battery heater got 92kW from 10% to 35% then 78kw to 45% then it dropped to about 68kw till at least 60% and I stopped recording. I do know it can still pull >50kw up to 80%. So that looks like it averages around 80kw for 10%-60% and even if it throttles to 50kw for 60% -80%...

Mine just has a small car battery rather than a leisure battery.

I went with renogy for a psw inverter as I could at least find consistent real reviews about them. They weren't much more than the equivalent specification cheaper models. I did still use amazon though as apparently the customer service/refunds are not as easy if you order direct.

@n8sail Ahh good. At least there is a replaceable fuse for if it goes wrong. Also if you look inside your inverter you will probably find it has standard blade fuses in parallel which you may be able to swap for lower rated fuses. This may give you more flexibility since blade fuses are easy to...

I meant that < 150 amp fuse/circuit breaker would be best as that would mean the 150 amp fuse in the car would not blow.

I have been looking into this. There is a 150A fuse for the dcdc converter (in the fuses next to the battery). Since it runs at ~14V the whole load will likely run through this. So maybe get a 120a circuit breaker or a spare 150a fuse before going near that power level.

I have an old set of Halfords universal ones that i managed to fit (it took quite a while as there was only one specific way that they would attach properly). They hook onto the door frame and have rubber feet on the roof. So if you can find universal ones with free returns or somewhere you can...

I had a quick look. I'm sure I saw a picture or video somewhere but @Srp111 mentioned it in this thread at least. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/top-accessories.1023/ Post 13.

I saw in one of the podcasts that there is a draft on the drivers side around the steering column and someone said they stuffed some car insulation in.

I had non ev issues with powerline adapters where my phone charger would interfere with them. I found a 10 meter extension lead gave enough cable between them to stop the interference. From an electromagnetic perspective you could try looping the charger so that it is in circles to reduce the...

My complete guess would be dirty contacts on the type 2 connector.

Thanks. Not getting mine till October so I hadn't realised they aren't really out till September.

Has anyone tried charging the new long range mg5 on a 150kw ccs? Ideally I would like to know what the peak rate is ( I would assume this would be a fairly warm battery down to about 10%). So i old really appreciate it if you could post your experiences namely the peak and average charge rate...
