(Quite Long, Dont Read if you are time poor)
Simple statement really and to be honest, I'm not sure that I really subscribed to it.
But let me tell you....I do now. (Probably)
I know this had been touched on in various threads but thought I would start a dedicated discussion.
(Mod, please...
I've owned my MG4 for over a year and had always previously set the regen braking at the lowest level - 1.
I don't like the highest setting, especially on motorways as the car decelerates rapidly without (I assume?) turning on the brake lights.
I've just discovered the adaptive regen setting...
Like some others I run Towing mode all the time, my understanding is that one of its functions is to disable the radar and camera to some degree, in which case when I use A in the regen settings again which I do all the time, how is this operating ? or is it just defaulting to a level 2 regen...
My 2024 SE would not let me set up my normal driving preferences this morning. Which is eco mode with level 3 regen, SOC was 50% and there had been an ice warning from the car, when selecting the level 3 regen setting the car messaged me that full regen was not available ( as if I had 100%soc)...
Hey all,
I am struggling to understand how the battery stats add up on the Xpower.
To start with the battery is apparently rated at 64kWh (approx 62kWh useable) but yet other Teslas etc get more range on less battery , I understand this could be due to software and efficiency etc and whether...
Having had my car for a few weeks now, I have got used to using the regen in level 3 and really like it, only using my brakes to actually do the final bit of stopping. Does anyone know if the brake lights come on when using the regen to slow down sharply, as I'm conscious that people behind me...
I've finally ordered my Volcano Orange MG4 Trophy LR and after test driving an MG4 this week I have some questions. I think it may be useful to understand the driving style I am coming from as I suspect I will need to change.
My former sports car driving self would be surprised to learn that...
While driving in Regen 3 mode today l was pipped a couple of times from drivers following me , l presume it’s because my brake lights are not coming on under braking. Does anyone know for certain if they do come on or not please ?
Why is it that when I'm going down hill the regen/watt meter gives a -Kw number, If I step on it it gives a Kw figure, to my remaining braincell that is counter intuitive, it should be +Kw on regen and -Kw on acceleration surely.
Also why is the default option on start up Normal and not Eco...
Hi all,
I'm having an intermittent problem with the regen setting in that I can't change it. It doesn't matter which driving mode the car is in, or whether it's in Park - it's set to low and I can't change it to any of the other settings, pressing the buttons just doesn't do anything. I can...
Hi having driven my MG3 Trophy for over 1000 miles now and loving it , l sometimes find cars behind close up when l am slowing due to reg braking.
Does anyone know if the brake lights operate when the car is slowing ?
Hi I have my MG4 standard edition 51kwh and the one feature I love is the one foot pedal however how do I check how much battery life I regenerate back to the battery? I want to know how good my regen skills are ?
How do I see this on the dash or? I really appreciate everyone's help.
Off topic...
Hi,I just received my MG4 51 kWh 2023 model today, and I'm having a lot of fun getting used to the regenerative braking. Using one-pedal driving is interesting! I have a few questions -
When you lift your foot off the accelerator, the car starts to brake. Do the brake lights turn on when you...
Every time I set regen in Adaptive mode, seems to me it's just constantly at level 2 without ever changing.
No matter if I'm on a highway or in traffic, it always feels exactly the same.
I was wondering what's your experience with it or if I'm doing something wrong here.
High re-gen slows the car quite dramatically, more so that I'm used to with ICE cars and therefore more than drivers behind me might expect. So, I wonder, does it apply the brake light to warn the driver behind it's dropped the anchor?
Si
Apologies if this has been brought up, I searched but couldn’t find anything specific.
Has anyone had a problem in the Trophy where no matter what you assign to the left star button, it changes back? I can’t stop it defaulting to regen, whatever I click it defaults back around 1 second later...
Not sure if this is correct but does tapping the brake pedal lightly increase brake regen?
For eg, if I'm traveling along at 70mph tops, and then fully let go of the accelerator, the average regen power is about -15.
However if I gently tap the brakes power goes to -25.
Then if I press harder...
I have a mk1 MG ZS EV, bought in July. All through the last 5 months the regen, whilst in 3, slows the car and I see the needle go into the charging section of the dial.
Now, I know when the battery is full, a message pops up saying regen won't work and to use the brakes, which makes total...
