I saw a MG5 61kwh battery at a breakers on eBay for £1500. It had done 800 miles. Temping for house battery applications. Struck me how cheap that was. Whilst looking for mudflaps on a genuine auto parts site they had a new MG5 battery for £12k.

Bought a MG5 LR Trophy brand new for £21450 in October. Dealer suggested MG were clearing stock. We had looked at the MG4 and ZS with NHS style discounts and magic MG pricing support at around the £26k mark. Essentially I just wanted a 60kwh battery on wheels with storage and roof bars!

All of the above for a refurb. I'd imagine its a useful mitigation of risk for the certifying authority. Its never been an issue, even on the kitchen circuit which you'd think might have a higher draw.

Funny. We met the hallowed MG EV at the Sep Blenhiem Palace EV event, it was its longevity and reliability that led to us buying one the next month. I must admit it had been thoroughly abused MG decided to clear its inventory so we got a bargain. Mudflaps on order 👍

No worries. Got a weatherproof plug housing and made one from a worn out extension reel. No, I kinda knew it might fail. I had brought several leads to try. I guess the main clue was written on the side of the reel, giving wattage ratings for wound and unwound. The granny charger has a temp...

What granny charger did you get? Recently used a 10m 2.5mm² ext lead and got 1.9kW. The 45m 2.5mm² ext reel gave 1.7kW before tripping the thermal cut out 🤦🏻‍♂️
