    Radio Freeze?

    Yip had issues with radio, was updated to R30 2 weeks ago, better but still stops working on every other drive. Though a hard reboot will fix it. I'm in the dealer tomorrow hopefully for a fix to the Auto-hold error that keeps popping up

    New night rate tariff - Haven't stopped laughing

    So from tomorrow my night charging rate ( 7 hours) is down to 1.5p per KW until April. So works out at less than 1/2 a p a mile. We live in strange times

    First electric and first MG(4) drive

    I've had a Trophy in Black for a month, I now choose the country roads over A roads, it's so good and so much fun to push in the corners.

    MG 4 charging

    I have a Zappi, outside in the rain, no problem. I use the Zappi app to schedule cheap rate charging from 1am - 8am. And set the max charge in the Ismart app to either 80% or 100%, depending on the next days requirements. So the Zappi just opens a charging window of 7 hours and the car decides...

    Granny home charging instead of Type 2?

    No it's not the same as plugging a 3KW fire, or washing machine. Neither of these are 400v batteries, a shock from which will kill you. It's not the fact you're pulling a large current on a domestic setup, it's more to do with the earthing standards required for electric cars. Purpose built...

    Target charge level resetting to 100%

    Despite showing charge limited to 80%, both in the car and on the app. This morning found the car charged to 100%. Had the car for 3 weeks, this is the first time I've seen this. ??

    Motorway efficiency test MG4 Trophy

    MG Pilot uses regen for braking, I see -18 figures on the power meter. It also uses the brakes if it has to, ie someone pulls in front of you with no gap.

    Motorway efficiency test MG4 Trophy

    Part of the EV puzzle is to charge the car on a cheap rate. A standard economy 7 tariff will get your price per mile to 4p or less. And you've a 7 hour window to charge the car

    CCS charging

    Tried a 350kw Ionity charger today, pretty happy with 131KW, though it was a faff to get the charging to start. Apps, QR codes, phone calls and re-boots. But got sorted in the end

    Performance difference between models.

    My Trophy feels quicker than the quoted 0-60. A few other have said the same. Matt's Carwow video shows a 7.1 to 60. Regardless of 0-60s the car is quick and overtaking is a joy

    Ceramic Coatings

    Thanks Alan. Yip not expecting miracles, but have found Black seems to show everything, so if it helps take some of the effort out of cleaning, that’s what I’m looking for. I’ll have a look around for some quotes

    Ceramic Coatings

    Anyone any experience with ceramic paint coatings? Wondering if it would make it easier to clean my black trophy. Which does tend to show the water marks after a wash

    Just Cancelled My Order

    Sorry to hear your cancelling your order. I've had mg MG4 Trophy for 2 weeks, driven just short of a 1000 miles, and apart from software update to the infotainment system, it's been flawless and is a fantastic car to drive. It hasn't suffered from any of the issue mentioned here. And according...

    Second Thoughts

    Have 800 miles on my MG4, the cost charging at home on economy 7 = £38.40. So just under 5p per mile. And thats in cold weather, early starts, motorway and AC on. My previous car Mazda CX-5 could only just do 20p per mile. So even if the electric tariff double, which they cant because of...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    My Trophy goes to the dealer tomorrow for an update to R30 on the infotainment. Hopefully this will stop the random screen lockouts, no access to HVAC, DAB, Settings, etc. that cant be fixed with a re-boot.

    Rapid charging question

    I have a type 2 cable that came with the car. But will I also need a Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2) cable to be able to use a DC fast charging station? Or are these fast stations tethered?

    Infotainment screen fail

    My infotainment screen is changing pages by its self. just keeps bouncing between the home page and the 2nd icon page. I cant interact with it and re-boots have made no difference. Anyone else had the same? Dealer says new head unit is required
