Intelligent Battery Heating (IBH) is Slightly more intelligent than I thought. Even if the IBH setting in the Energy Consumption panel is set to Enabled, it won’t heat up your battery when the Drive mode is set to ECO. It will start working the moment your drive mode is anything other than...

Stopped at a GRIDSERVE last night, arriving after 1 hour drive with 7% SoC, leaving 37 minutes later with 80% SoC. Started charging at 7:53pm and ambient temp of 18°C At 7:58pm it had reached 19% SoC, with the battery temperature between 27°C and 31°C and still charging at 82kW. By 8:12pm it...

I have Car Scanner running on iOS (iPhone) and using CarPlay I can see dashboards with sensor readings as I go. This morning I planned to pop to the local grocery store to buy some food and rapid charge to 80%. It was 5°C outside but the battery pack was between 9.5°C and 11°C. I switched the...

I tried to find a thread about organising opportunities for car meet ups specific to the MG4 or electric MGs in general. Are there any? If not, shall we organise one?

I plugged in my car at the office today and once it had reached 100% I went to move it so as to free up a bay for someone else. I couldn't see all the charging bays but I assumed someone might have needed one. When I left the office tonight, as I was walking back to my car I started counting the...

210 miles mostly motorway trip today from London to the Peak District. Planned a mid way stop to refuel our bodies, recharge the battery and empty our bladders. On paper Gridserve Watford made perfect sense: at the M1 services, plenty of chargers, all 150kW + , what could go wrong? Arrived...

Second time charging my SE SR (LFP battery) to above 97% today on a granny charger outside at -2C°. The battery heater engaged automatically and drawing around 1.5 to 1.7 kW every few seconds. Charging to 100% will take a lot longer than I hoped. This is the same behaviour as if I had started...

I slow charged my Mg4 SE SR to 100% today, including equalisation, while I was working from home. I’m lucky in that for a couple of weeks every month I have access to a heated underground parking space with free charging, albeit slow at 3.6kW. Loaded car with my luggage, ready for a trip from...

Do any other models have launch control other than the x-power? Reason I ask is because I didn't know if mine had it or not. Watched a video showing the sequence for the x-power: left foot on brake, right foot on accelerator: press brake hard, floor the accelerator. Power builds up to about 60%...

This is my experience driving to Paris and back this past week in my MG4 SE SR gen1 (gen1/phase1/MY22, call it whatever, it's the one without the rear wiper to be clear) Range Left on Tuesday morning, came back on Friday evening. I drove most of the time in the stock Normal mode (including the...
