Hi Dragonfly!
Did you read my thread ‘Urban Hybrid Managment’?
There you will find more thoughts about this issue. In my voting subjects I am very limited in text space and have to make a general short phrase.
That is why I used ‘Urban speeds’ because, indeed these speeds differ in regions...
Thanks! Hope it works in the long run?
I made a mistake already trying to edit a vote. Now it is presented twice.... ( EV selection ) I will not count it twice ;-)
MG HS Plug-in Hybrid Software Update Wishlist Poll
More and more (future) owners are finding this medium to gather and give information about the pro's and con's of this very nice vehicle.
Several improvements to this product are, in my view, necessary and possible due to the software options...
Could this difference in pre calculated range, as presented on the information cluster which is a fixed value irrespective of outside temperature, be related to the average regional temperatures. In fact Tropical Thailand 67, Australia 63 and Europe 52 etc?
As I indicated earlier, in my...
Apart from your figures which are in miles, the fact is that with a fully charged battery you always are presented with the same range. 52 km in my case. The real range improves from about 10 degr OAT and decreases in colder circumstances. So, the presented range is so to speak never correct.
This message above from Gelf is very much another issue. In daytime these lights, which are important for safety reasons, are practically not visible.
Another wish list item that I had
Hallo Gelf,
Join the party! It is not a matter if this problem exists anymore, but how MG is going to fix it!
Please do so as I did at the Amsterdam branche.
Groet, Henri
In my experience the ‘slight stall’ is a ‘huge stall’ when you accelerate with more than 80% power in the EV mode.
In the hybrid mode motor gear shifting happens earlier, around 40kph, and the second at 80, third at 120. ( 4 gears )
In EV mode only the big shift at 80 from around 9000rpm to...
On this page you can see all trip figures. I took this picture yesterday just before having my first fueling event after 1300km and more than two month of ownership! I added 25 liters
You have to realize that I mainly drive in the EV mode up and down to my golf game twice a week which is exactly...
No save option according to the manual and I guess this is because this option is quite uneconomical and only to be used rarely.
I found out that when your battery is totally empty the EDU (motor) is still fully operational directly from the DC/DC charger from the ICE (engine). So you always...
Welcome to the party John! A quick decision after a long discussion
About the Granny charger, a full load from empty takes about 6,5 to 7 hours. 8 km (5mi) per hour. For me this is acceptable up til now during these times of low activity. A new day with a full load.
I saw now that you created a second thread about gear shifting in EV mode so I quoted it back to the original one.
They can say it is normal, but it is not normal at all when you try to overtake traffic on a dual road!
It is dangerous if you are not aware of this issue beforehand.
I also have...
Hi Nudg,
Welcome to the Plug-ins! You understand that I started to doubt myself after stating the opposite above.
Indeed, the UK specs and the manual in English prove your observation. However, the Dutch version ( and most probably the Continental ) has 4 front sensors and they work fine and in...
