journey

Hi everyone, I’d be interested to know what your best mi/kWh return has been on you MG EV4 Trophy and what type of journey was it ? Currently the best for me was 5 mi/kWh on a 10 mile commute to work temp @ 10 degrees?

Having only owned my LR Trophy for a week, I am facing my first long journey down south to London (280 miles round trip) I am hoping to get your advice on how to maximise my battery range. Pretty much all the journey will be on the motorway which I know isn't great. I plan on charging to 100% -...

Hello I have a mg zs trophy hybrid, when I have been on a long journey, the engine sounds like it is racing, can snyone help please?

What’s the highest efficiency number you’ve seen? For me it was 7.3 mls/kwh which was after a short 2.8 mile journey.

So in February I became elligble for a company car and always wanted an EV. In my grade I could get the MG4 at no extra cost for myself, my only other choice above this was the Kia EV6 (previous cars wiere Kia Niro's Hybrids) however the money was like 200 pcm extra. Did my research on it...

I've not seen this issue raised before (I think) so, here goes: 2022 MG5 Exclusive LR, pre-facelift, about 14,500 miles "on the clock". I tend to try and switch periodically to the Current Journey, Power Consumption meter whilst "on the road" to confirm that I am driving "to maximum...

My old diesel Volvo V60 has been written off, so I've put a deposit on on 2022 MG5. So have many many questions, but will start with the most urgent. I'm picking it up from the other end of the country on Tuesday, but it's only coming with a granny. I'm going to need to charge on the way home...

I noticed this earlier in the year and been waiting on long drive to confirm, if those dash stats are correct then my battery has quite a lot less capacity than it should. The car is a 2023 ZS facelift, short range LFP battery. On a long run I'm only getting an actual battery capacity of about...

Miles Roberts has gone and done it take a look Les

I gather yesterday was "EV Day". It was the day I had my first real charging-stops-from-hell experience. I was coming home from my three-night experiment in sleeping in the MG4. I had last charged at the Tesla superchargers in Fort William the previous lunch-time, and had then driven to...

Following a thousand mile round trip from pointy end of Cornwall to the Lake District ( UK) and back again over the last week, I have to reiterate ( with no sweary bits this time) this is a truly amazing car. Not a single hiccup ( bar weird infotainment recycling itself for 2 hours /50 miles...

We are heading off on our first EV holiday Monday (Covid recovery permitting) and I couldn't see any threads with specific tips about how to optimise the car before a long trip. Perhaps it is all obvious like plan your charging stops before hand (which I started investigating months ago tbh)...

Well I’m home now but it was hell, I spent ages planning a route to pick my daughter up from university in York. I have a ZS EV Mk1, I’ve done over 17,500 miles and I charge mainly at home on 7kw. So I planned a route using Tesla chargers and checked with Tesla on the app and over the phone. So...

Hi everyone I'd really appreciate some advice. I've an MG4 SR and can get about 150 miles at 3.0 m.KWh. Next week I'll be travelling from wolverhampton to Bournemouth, about 180 miles. I wondered if anyone had any great suggestions about where to charge? There are two different route...

It was only recently that someone asked me what mileage I had done in the car. I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't a clue how to find out so I then looked for a screen that would tell me. Anyhow, once I found it, I left the screen on the current jourmey setting recently just to see how far one of...

Hmm, charge your EV, you must. Simple, the steps are. First, to a charging station you must go, young Padawan. Connect the charger to your vehicle, you then do. Yes, hrrmmm. Mindful of the type of charger, you must be, for different speeds they have. Slow, fast, or rapid, they can be. While you...

I went for my first long journey (200 miles return) last week. On pulling off the motorway and pulling up at the traffic lights I heard what I can only describe as sounding like a sack of squabbling ferrets under the car. I've no idea what it was, but the only thing I can think of is the...

Greetings to all.... Driving back to Harrogate from the Himalayan Gardens, I aviemore an average of 4.6 miles after 16.4 miles. For large parts of the journey, I was on 4.8.... the first two miles, it was on some ridiculous two digit average!!! Point is, o normally make around 3.6... 50 mpg...

Hi All I'm 1 week into my new (well used) ZS MK1, so far loving it. I travel 13 miles to work everyday I've noticed that the predictive range at the start and end of the journey reduces by around 20 miles. Im set in eco mode, regen on 3 and I don't have the HVAC on. This is the same on the...

Hi all Just tried the Bonnet app for my recent long journey to North Yorkshire (520 miles round trip). I am loving the app as it guides you step by step through the process (i.e. when to plug in the charge), and gives you an update on the state of charge (on some chargers). Also there is a...
