What a difference some warmer weather makes to efficiency!! This morning we drove to Birmingham in 6 degree temps and managed 3.7 miles to the kWh and this evening we pinged 4miles to the kWh in 16 degrees all the way home!! With that efficiency we’d just be pushing 200 miles, which I guess...

So, I got the MG5 on lease through work but opted for a shorter lease term on the basis that in a couple years new cars will be coming online that are a significant improvement over the MG5 and, importantly, will cost the same if not less. Next year my car is due to be returned and I am really...

Ive had the new MG5 since February 2023 and have to say that over all Im pretty happy with it. So far we have put 15k miles on the clock which has used 4478kwh at a total cost of £403. We have done some public charging at a couple fast chargers but not enough to make any real difference to the...

Any ideas on how to reset this warning? Just came back from having the car serviced but didn’t notice the warning hadn’t been reset…and I’m not keen to go back as it’s an hour round trip! Any help would be greatly appreciated ? Thanks xx

Tonight I’ve plugged the car in and have the schedule set for 50% by 529am so as to make the most of the Octopus intelligent 6 hour 7.5p charging window. But how come the Ohme diagramme comes up as below? Reading it it’s telling me a 50% charge is going to take longer than 6 hours?? At other...

Peeps, A lot of this might just be coincidence but pretty much every weekend if I put the car on to charge it will not complete the charge and instead I’ll end up with something like 10-20% added instead of the 40 or 50% that I’m wanting to add via my Ohme charger?? I don’t have this issue...

Is anyone else getting this error? Sometimes when I turn the vehicle on the car appears to go through the start up process but when I go to put the car in to reverse the gear selector on the dash changed to N and nothing happens on the gear knob (it stays in park). If I go to turn the vehicle...

Team, I’ve moved from OVO back to Octopus and have changed to Intelligent Ocopus this morning. Now that’s happen3: do I have to remove the Ohme device that was present in my Octopus app (as I didn’t delete it after moving to OVO last year) and basically reinstall it? I ask as I can’t see how...

Last week I noticed for some reason that it didn’t matter what I set charging to on the Ohme the car was stopping at 80%?!? For some reason charging is stopping at 80%, which is what comes up as normal on the MG app? Amy ideas what I’ve done for the car to stop charging at 80% instead of what...

Peeps, Having issues with a key fob that’s no longer recognised by my facelift MG5. I’ve replaced the battery but still no go and the car is booked in to a garage to sort (but that’s 3 weeks away). So any tips or tricks you know about that I could try to see if the fob will come back to the...

There is probably a very good reason for this and my puny non-technical mind can’t wrap itself around this BUUUUUUUT given a dynamo is just a spinning top with a magnet and copper wire how come there aren’t these things on EV cars to put energy back in to the battery?? Given every car has 4...

Hello peeps. We are on day 2 of owning our very first EV (MG5) and have finally gotten around to plugging it in to charge. So the questions are; 1. In the MGiSmart app I’ve set scheduled charging to occur between 2331 to 0529 to take advantage of octopus cheaper rate. BUUUUUUUT once I’ve hit...

So...any thoughts on an extension lead to get charging cable from wall charger (Ohme home pro in my case) to drive way? The current cable is about 2 meters too short and our plan was to change our front yard a bit by pulling out a planter box and extending the drive way up in to the law so the...

Last week I pushed the button on ordering the new MG5 LR in Hampstead Grey and yesterday got confirmation back from the dealer of expected delivery date around 30 April next year. Which I guess in the context of things isnt to long to wait? The family and I have test driven quite a few EV's...
