roadtrip

Hi all, the company I work for is starting up an EV leasing scheme so I'm mulling over whether to get a Cyberster or not. I have a lot of history with roadsters, having owned an MX-5 mark 1, an MX-5 mark 3, a Lotus Elise mark 2, and now an MX-5 RF. Honestly I love MX-5s, but despite being of...

Just completed our first long distance road trip, and the charging rate seemed low to me. On a 250 kW charger at 64% charged I was getting 60kW. On a 180kW charger at 70% I was at 52kW. I did not get to charge the car when the battery was at a low percentage. So perhaps you only get the...

I had to do a trip to Bristol from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, 189 miles each way. Our MG5 was charged at home to 100% and I set off there on Wednesday Afternoon, staying in the delightful (not) Days Inn at Michaelwood services. I made it there with ease and I was pleasantly surprised to find...

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 have just done a road trip south (well most things are south for us) and on our way to Inverness, along a road we know pretty well, we pass a four way junction that needs caution. A little way after that, there is a road to one side that also needs care as people may be waiting for a while...

We have just completed a 20 day driving holiday in our MG5, starting in UK and going through France, down to (almost) the end of Italy and back - over 3,000 miles. If anyone is interested in the experiences we had you can check out our blog here ITALY2024 – RMJI & FBAI ... if you're just...

I have just returned from a trip to Italy, a month near Venice. So I have covered approx 2,500 miles. I had one major problem which I will save to the end because I believe it was the fault of the dealer not the car. The MG4 drove beautifully, extremely smoothly and gave me almost no cause for...

So we’re on a long road trip through France at the moment. Everything has been brilliant with the car and rapid charging is much much cheaper than in the UK. Today, however, panic set in when all of a sudden the car wouldn’t charge from any AC or DC charger. I eventually worked out that the...

Drove from Cambs to Glasgow and back yesterday (Collecting the last of our offspring from Uni) with the aim of checking out Tesla in Harrogate and Larkhall along with Ionity at Gretna Green. Route is A1,A66,M6,M74. Harrogate because it is another option from using Gridserve at Wetherby (78p per...

We recently returned from our first six-weeks longer-distance trip from Essex to SW France – 750 miles, excluding the channel tunnel, each way – for which we particularly chose the MG4 Trophy Extended Range (late ’23) version. Both of us are now of an age that calls for a gentler drive spanning...

I'm thinking of taking my MG4 up to Scotland as I've had it over a year and only done 7.5K. I notice we seem to have a lot of Scottish members so was after some advice on where to go for nice driving and great scenery and also where to stay. I was thinking the NC500 but everyone seems to do that...

Hi, Going on an unfamiliar road trip soon and am planning to use MFG chargers en route, since it is convenient. But I have a nagging doubt there were MG4 compatibility issues at one time - does anyone know the current situation and anyone reliably rapid CCS charge on these without issues...

Drove my new ER from Norwich to Chester and back, starting with a full battery.215 miles each way,Used A roads, with only 40 miles or so of dual carriageway. Car had only 50 miles on the clock when I set out, so tried to drive conservatively at no more than 60mph. Set off at dusk each time, so...

Just got back from a visit to North York Moors, did a total of 475 mile over 4 days with no issues. On the way there I charged at MFG Pickering, no problems took a few days to clear the £40 hold, didn't need to stop there as the chargers in Pickering had been upgraded to 75kW - zap map still had...
