    Used MG5 pre-purchase Checklist

    Make sure that the dealer specifically says the EVCC (Tesla) update has been done. MG consider the car to be fully up to date even if this fix hasn't been applied. I'd consider getting a Type 2 cable. I've only used mine a few times (mainly at hotels) but each time I was very glad to have it...

    Used MG5 pre-purchase Checklist

    Hi, great choice of car and it looks like you have done your homework. I am not sure if the FL needs the cable tie fitted to the rear washer pipe in the driver's pillar but worth checking.

    Used MG5 pre-purchase Checklist

    ...of sale. Accessories – Ensure the granny charger cable is included. Don’t see any reason to ask for a type 2 cable, as I`ll be getting a wallbox installed at home for charging which will include a type 2 cable and connector. Can anyone with some first hand experience please pull this...

    MG4 51kWh LFP Battery Health

    So kinda difficult to have a ~42kWh usable battery pack, as T1 claims. Unless MG has Renault ZOE sort of charging losses :D

    MG4 51kWh LFP Battery Health

    I did that last saturday. I went to 1.5% SOC and then charged at 6.5kW. The Wallbox said i charged 53.08 kWh. Assuming a 8% losses and the initial 1.5% SOC, a full charged battery is 49.57kWh, a 97.6% from the original 50.8kWh. The car is almost two years old and 38,000 km.

    That's better :) I was going to say I was offered a £200 workaround but he sounded like he worked on cannabis farms in an attic :)

    New MG4 owner - newbie tips

    ...V60 PHEV company car on order (that was eventually cancelled by Volvo - COVID parts shortages) that came with a free EVSE - the supplier was way behind schedule so Volvo offered a £500 contribution instead. My Wallbox Pulsar Plus was £940 installed, so I made £160 profit on the transaction. :)

    ...charging, hence the advice 'always be charging'. Many solar owners simply leave their cars plugged in during the day, 80% max if nesesary. Wallbox Pulsar Max here, works well. Re. 'the effect of on/off on the car's electronics' is usually taken care of by small amounts of grid draw to...

    When to charge?

    The money was not really the issue. My car charges at 10.2 kW according to the wallbox and gives a temperature reading (of what I'm not sure). What it does not say is how long it's running for, but gives an input reading of kWh, which differs for different conditions. When cold it takes longer...

    3 pin charger with Wi-Fi and usage calculator - recommendations?

    ...you are sent a weekly email containing a pdf with a charging graph and costs. I'm not sure if it can be configured however for more than one ev. The drawback to this is that it costs as much as a typical 7kW wallbox installation, while not for all due to the cost it will work for some like...

    MG4 Low Charging speed compared to friends EV

    ...at something less than 16.0 A per phase AC-in, so depending on your mains voltage, you may only be drawing 10.0-10.5 kW from the wall. The Wallbox and the car are both trying to be careful not to exceed the 16 A current limit, so they will be erring on the low power side. There will be some...

    MG4 Low Charging speed compared to friends EV

    European Spec may be different. In the UK the vast majority of homes are single phase.

    I’ve have a Wallbox which is nearly 4 years old and have not had any problems. I started with EDF but now with EON and it works fine with both.

    Advice on where to put a 7kW charger point

    My Wallbox Pulsar Plus is in my garage, as that is where I park my car. In addition, this is where my power comes in, so the cable run is very short. I have always garaged my cars, and never considered that it might be unsafe. Something else to worry about now ☹️

    MG4 SE battery 1year SoH

    If you have both apps (iSmart and one for your EVSE) you can monitor ongoing charge rate and compare ... in my case iSmart will typically show 6.4-6.5kW into the battery, and the Wallbox app will typically show 7.2kW being delivered, so 700-800W in losses or 89-90% efficiency.
