The ProjectEV is made by Growatt who have huge experience of the power electronics market in China. The unit consists of a couple of PCBs so if anything goes wrong it'll be hard to repair. The App is rubbish to the point where they recommend that you use a different one with less features and...

I can't see them being able to argue against that. Out of interest, how many days have you had the car when it's not been in the garage? Arguably the clock stops when you don't have it.

Part of the issue is probably that the IT in cars is developed for more different platforms than PCs and that they generally have low levels of physical resources.

The garages will be pressing MG for a service mode for the App that allows them to disable those updates. Otherwise we'll all find out where they buy their pasties from. :eek:;)

Do you have any idea of the component costs of a 22kW inverter?* And how many people in the UK would benefit from it? Less than 10% of UK properties have 3 phase, and the cost of installing it can be prohibitive (£20k+ in my case). Most EV owners charge at home because it's cheapest and 7kW...

No. Just swapping the EVSE is debatably allowed but changing the circuit is not allowed unless you are qualified under Part P. So removing the Matt:e would not be. They are too busy not to make a charge of more than the work justifies. Get a few quotes or buy one that self installs.

Don't give them any further excuse to skip a full PDI. ;)

There are lots of threads on here about V2L and making your own lead which is very cost effective.

Typical effect of the lobbying power of German industry at EU level. In Germany itself the ban is 2030 but at the EU level the Germans were virtually alone in hanging out for 2035 and won.

Is that a rare environmental initiative from the people with the smallest consciences or the politicians hiding behind the banks to ensure that someone else takes the blame? :unsure:

Why waste effort on developing ICE to meet Euro 7 rather than EVs when ICE sales will finish in 2030? That wouldn't be in Germany's interest as they are importing so many BMWs etc from China. And exporting so much other technology the other way. Anything not in the interest of the EUs...

Point of order - the trims are only fitted when the car reaches the dealership. So any lazy practice is here in the UK in this case.

It's not just the "not knowing", it's the outright lies that they tell to hide the lack of knowledge and their unwillingness to find out.

Nice bit of Chinglish to round it of.

You should be able to use any MG dealer.

We should not be having to fit such devices to brand new cars. Even the mechanical version of these fail so I'm not keen on the idea.

There's only one clip. @bowfer , it's no consolation but that's the first I've heard of this fault. It should be easy for the dealer to fix.

It's a "feature" that MG may, or may not, address when they feel like it and may, or may not, apply retrospectively to existing cars. I suggest that you have to learn to live with it.

Yes. With a few caveats that apply to all spacesavers: the standard MG5 spacesaver is 125/90R16, so clearly different to the 215/50R17. But it's within the magical advice of 3% of diameter/circumference. All spacesavers are limited to 50 miles at 50 mph and should be replaced after use. The...

It appears that MG are in their usual "nothing to see here" attitude. Clearly the issue exists and MG should at least believe the incident at their dealers even if they were unsure of the other accounts.
