    MG4 Pedestrian Alert

    Speaking of the PAS and difference of noise compared to ICE cars. Has anyone saw a difference between their experience driving ICE car at night and the MG4 when it comes to wild life at night ? I tend to be very slow (around 40kph) at night (like well past midnight) and the number of time I...

    Retention / Saving of Driving and Safety options ?

    Depends if that pre-flight routine includes getting some music to play from a USB stick. Then it can totally exceeds at least 5 minutes if you goddamn forgot un unplug the stick from the first USB slot again, so it bugs it so you move it to the second one but then after took a minute to list all...

    Uneven Headlights

    Headlights dropping in brightness sharply is how this car does it. It is shitty and does feel restrictive. But that's how it is. On a bumpy road you will flash people those very bright headlights and some might blind you with their main beams in retaliation. And on hill road you might even need...

    Newbie... a few questions remain

    The rear window is so pitiful to begin with I can see why they didn't bother with fitting a wiper in the first place. It is indeed not that useful and only comes in handy to not have to wipe the dew in the morning if you are really that in need of the added visibility. And I'm with you with...

    V2G to be approved in Australia 2025

    One way to make a MG4 do V2H on the cheap is to use a beefy entreprise grade UPS. I tested the principle with my APC Smart-UPS C1500. The UPS handles the dead time when you disconnect from the grid and connect the car in V2L. The voltage from the car is kind of lowish so the UPS is grunting a...

    What colour did you choose?

    How about renaming the poll colors with generic description instead of the pedantic marketing names that are different given the regions ? white, black, metallic red, metallic light gray, light blue, orange, metallic dark gray, matte green Plus that would have the advantage of allowing people...

    Results of being rear-ended at 20mph...

    I concur with my neighbor up. Modern cars can have crash structures that once compacted doesn't offer any protection anymore. I have seen stories of people who got rear-ended, seemingly without any damage, that got grave injuries usually cervical, on a second one because the structure was...

    Nobody will buy MG4 for €15,000 after only 10,000 miles

    The incentives have changed now, and the MG4 is not eligible anymore. But at the time I got 5+2k€(for low income) because it was an electric car, then if you had an old enough petrol or diesel car to scrap you could get 2.5+3.5k€(low income) both from the state, then the region I reside in...

    Nobody will buy MG4 for €15,000 after only 10,000 miles

    I paid 13k€ new my MG4, selling it for 15k€ after 10k miles would be a crazy good deal for me.

    Did the option of charging the car up to 80% disappear?

    I would gladly listen to that expert's opinion about that paper that was released months later than the video you linked. He would certainly be aware of any flaw in the methodology or if the findings were replicated or not. I do not think that the conclusions of the paper are any hard to...

    Did the option of charging the car up to 80% disappear?

    I would certainly like to set the target by hand. I would put the max charge at 35-40 and have plenty of range to run an errand. Since I learned that I was doing charging completely wrong from this : (Plus the video also explains why the manufacturer wants us to charge at 100%) I have been...

    Reliable Lead For Android Auto

    I use this thing. https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B099NC9RJ9 You would think it wouldn't make for a reliable cable with its double sided USB 2.0 type A plug, but so far it worked. I have some issues with Android Auto; but I think it is due to my phone having a stroke as when I unplug it...

    MG 4 EV tow bar and electrics

    My tow bar (13-pins) cost me 1250€, and they kind of butchered my the lower rear bumper by opening an unnecessarily big hole into it. Well at least they shouldn't bust my balls if I ever have an issue with it as it was paid and installed as an option not aftermarket. Reading the title, I...

    Campaign for adding "Camping Mode" to MG4

    I don't know about yours but my MG4 has a great sense of humor : the running gag of the middle line alert, the jestful kick of the steering wheel, the honking "gotcha" that always makes me jump when I try to lock up the car a bit too fast and the passenger haven't slammed their door yet, or the...

    Driving MG4 in France

    You should have tried the IECharge, their prices are insanely low. In late August their were at 0.33€/kWh now they are at 0.30€/kWh or even 0.25€/kWh when you use their app, and they also what they call "autocharge" (I don't know how other charging network call that), and it worked fine with my...

    Charging MG4 issues

    To switch between auto time sync and manual, it is right under the 24-hour mode setting in the general settings (the gear icon not the car icon). I was never actively trying to fix my issues with the scheduled charging, either it fixed itself or it was my manipulation of the clock that did it...

    Charging MG4 issues

    On my car (also a Standard) I had to set the clock to manual for the scheduled charge to work, otherwise the charge wasn't starting. Since then I have been keeping it on manual time, not wanting to disturb something that has been working.

    USB Music

    I have a bodge for those you have too much songs on their USB. As I noted in the github of the script I made to copy my playlist verbatim for the car. You can also put a dot in front of the folder name you don't want to listen. So if you have either a USB A+C stick or a adapter, you can use your...
