First time I'd plugged it in since getting the MG4. It was the one I used to have in my Mk1 ZS EV. I'll probably just put it back in the drawer at home.

Hi everyone, Just a bit of a heads up. Plugged in the OBD2 sensor (Vgate iCar pro) this morning. Faffed around connecting it to an app, but then I got to work and locked the car. Got no further than 30ft away before the car alarm went off. Locked it, unlocked. Alarm stopped. Locked again...

At places like the White rose centre, where there are multiple chargers installed, they are on an array system which balances the load. There is never enough power for all cars plugged in to pull 32A. When I worked at Pod Point it was a recurring complaint from customers, not understanding the...

I've noticed this with Android Auto if I try to use voice command whilst moving. If the handbrake is on (such as at traffic lights) or I'm parked out works fine.

7th October, it was sent in a table within the email I got with an update. Included the VRM and the VIN.

Hi everyone. I ordered my MG4 Trophy Long Range Volcano Orange on 02/08/2022. I have been for a test drive and sorted out the finance, even been allocated a VIN and VRM. I was told the car would be at MG Chorley, Chorley for the beginning of November. I've spoken to them several times, and...

It shouldn't do that on a DC charger, AC it's quite common though.

During the handshake it may be worth holding on to the cable plug and making sure it is pushed all the way into the socket on the car until charging begins. The MG4 may have the same issue as some Polestars, ID3/ID4s because its charge port is so high on the side of the vehicle, the weight of...

I'm 28 with 7 years of driving, 6 years NCD no convictions - my quotes are currently £1450 a year. I did see somewhere on the forum that insurers are waiting for the 1st of November to fully support the MG4. Which having worked in insurance before, makes sense - as frustrating as it is.

Yeah, Pod Point Lidl chargers could help with this; they have tethered 22kW/43kW AC chargers on them

I would check the cable you're using. It will need to be a 32A three-phase cable, not just a 32A cable.

CCS chargers charge at DC, which goes directly into the battery which is DC. And receives the BMS percentage directly from the battery. Type 2 AC chargers connect to the converter/on board charger which converts the AC charge to DC and sends it to the battery. You can charge your car on a...

Just watch yourself on the price with them, though, as the prices have just been increased again for non-Teslas.

I can't begin to describe how many queries we get at work (Pod Point) from people angry they're only getting 7kW or 11kW from a 22kW charge point. There's really only the Zoe and the Smart EVs that can charge at 22kW in the UK, and even then the Zoe has numerous issues with earthing across a...

Just phoned Burnley and they are expecting their demo later this week, but aren't booking anyone in yet as they aren't sure it will arrive this week.

Just rang MG Chorley Group to find out if they have a demo in yet, to be told "probably the end of next month". I asked him to clarify and he said all cars that had come in were sold cars. Guess I'll have to ring around the North West to find a dealer with a demo to have a test drive.

I thought the 11kW AC was only for European LHD models, not RHD UK models?

Your first port of call should be to download an app called Zap Map - which is free on the Google Play Store and App Store on iPhones. This will give you the locations of all public chargers across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. It will tell you the type of connections available so you need...

It comes with a Rolec. But I work for Pod Point, so if it turns out to be tripe I will have it taken off and can get a free one installed by work.

I have an my EV since July 2021, and have used public chargers since. We're about to buy a new build (I know, yuck) which has an EV charger attached to it already. I worked out that the EV would use the most energy across the whole house, so it makes sense to me (although I know this is not the...
