    What a difference some believable weather makes!

    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...

    Life after the MG5

    It kind of is. I get an allowance that I can use and if I go over it then I make up the shortfall and it’s salary sacrifice (the allowance is added to my salary as part of my employment package).

    Life after the MG5

    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...

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    Had our first long drive of the summer on Monday, over to Norfolk and back and a total distance of around 160 miles. Forgot to get the details of the first leg (60 miles), but the second leg (20 miles to the country house at Holkham Hall) we got 5.3 miles to the KwH! and our return of 83 miles...

    First year of MG5 ownership

    The service was covered under the leasing agreement I have. However our neighbour had their Tesla done last month and it cost them £50.

    First year of MG5 ownership

    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...

    New Renault 5 EV

    The one feature that really got my attention with the R5 was the ability to run the house off the car! Now, this to me seems a much more practical approach to battery storage especially as EV’s become more prevalent everywhere. Instead of purchasing a hellishly expensive Tesla battery wall or...

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    I forgot to get an end of month photo....since October :) BUT since the start of October Ive done 4,326 miles using 1464.3KwH at a cost of £111.92. I have used some public chargers but the miles they provided will be negligible so wont impact the cost that much. This makes it 2.5p a mile which...

    Intermittent slow charge from home charger - MG5 SR

    I’m finding Octopus a bit hit and miss these days. Sometimes the charge will complete to schedule but far too often the charge will have stopped early for no apparent reason ?‍♂️

    Help me decipher what this Ohme charging screen is saying?

    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...
