    Which of the new MG4s would you choose?

    There are now two MG4s. Have we done a poll on preferences between the two? I think that people in this forum are talking more about the refreshed MG4 rather than the urban. I wonder if we are an unusual group in our interests, but still, I thought we could review the responses to the two...

    MG Dealers can't even tell the difference!

    Looking up new MG4 on Autotrader there are several MG4 Urbans in the MG4 list! For example this one... I don't think it is anything to do with Autotrader mixing things up - these cars aren't listed as MG4 Urbans...

    MG4 door locking is a useful feature. MG4 as a taxi.

    Had a potential incident today thankfully averted by the automatic door lock feature. Not an attempted car-jacking, mind you. Parked up at the local shops and a young woman skipped up to the car and tugged on the back handle. Luckily for her it did not open because our dog does not like...

    Should we get more home battery capacity?

    We've got 9.5kwh of battery storage with our Givenergy system. That has been fine until we've got our heat pump installed. On cold winter days the battery seems to run out before getting round to the next cheap period. I've obtained a quote from our installer as follows... Extra battery...

    Octopus dropping solar export payment rate to 12p

    I guess it was inevitable... Octopus have just emailed to say they are reducing our solar export rates from 15p to 12p per kWh on the 1st of March. Makes sense really. As more solar is connected to the grid the value of generation during the middle of the day will drop. Already the wholesale...

    Poll: Why did you go EV?

    Inspired by the recent thread from @aardvark5 https://www.mgevs.com/threads/did-you-buy-your-ev-to-save-the-planet.25025/ I thought I would re-run an earlier poll we had 18 months later, now that we have a lot of new members. People are encouraged to participate even if they participated in...

    What do the new MG4 models do for waving etiquette?

    I always wave when a fellow MG4 drives past. Occasionally I get a smile and/or return wave. 👋 It is nice and reminds me of doing that with fellow mini drivers 24 years ago! 😊 But what is the new etiquette going to be with the MG4 and MG4 urban? 😲 Will Urban drivers be included in "MG4 wave...

    ASHP performance

    Hi all, I mentioned in a post that we've had a heat pump installed and I got a DM from a curious member about how it performs in cold weather. Since I looked up the data to write them a response I thought I would share it with the group! The Vaillant Heat Pump app provides us with data. I...

    Cashing in my trophy points?

    I've realised that I've been building up trophy points with all my valuable contributions to the forum here. Very nice. Does anyone know how many I need before I can cash them in for an MGEV of my choice? Do I speak to @Stuart Wright about this or something?

    Here's to 2026!

    Happy new year fellow MGEVer's! Hope that your electrons flow unimpeded and your batteries never run down to 0%.

    What do you experts think of this video listing the arguments against EVs?

    Problems with non-MG EVs

    This came up on my Facebook feed and it got me thinking we should note that all brands seem to be having problems with quality and consistency lately. The ID4 is one of the biggest selling EVs in the world, and the biggest selling that isn't a Tesla or Chinese.

    New video on the morality of Net Zero

    Hi everyone, I made another video and thought I would share with you lovely people. This one is about Net Zero. At least one brief mention of EVs but they aren't the focus of this one. I asked Pebbles to watch it before I posted it. Her comment was that it was different to my usual ones...

    New panel gap - how much to fix?

    Car was hit while I was at work last night. Luckily, they left a note with a name and number. They don't want to use their insurance if it isn't too expensive but I'm guessing it will be a lot. Any thoughts on how much it will cost? Absolute minimum: new bumper (painted) and a new light...

    A new video from me: Energy bills with solar, battery and EV

    Get the popcorn out everyone. I've made another You Tube video, this time about our energy bills! Preaching to the converted on here, but perhaps another real-world example if you want to share with family, friends or colleagues. I also made a shorter version for those who just want the...

    Whose is this?

    Spotted in the Everything Electric car park this morning. Does this beaut belong to anyone on here? Someone has put a lot of effort in! Don't think I fully captured the white roof and front badge.

I saw RL do a review of the Cyberster last year and managed to ask him a question about it (though he didn't know any more than...

    Battery sizing

    Hi Everyone, Just thinking about battery sizing this morning and wondering if MG got this right earlier than other manufacturers. The new BYD (Atto 2) has got the same battery size options as the MG4 and MGS5: 51kWh and 64kWh. The Dolphin was offered with 45kWh and 61kWh and the Atto 3 with...

    I made a video about EV options

    I thought I might share this with the community. Was visiting my brother-in-law and sister-in-law at the weekend and they mentioned they are looking for an EV that is large enough to visit her parents at Xmas with their kids and all the stuff they take. I was thinking about their options and...
