My Orange Journey

[ianrobo]

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, looked at my local MG garage and watched every review I could find and knew what a great car it was.

the silly thing was within the Allowance the SE base was the same bracket as to the Xpower !! So in the end decided the Xpower I did not need and too inefficent and this is the of course the Trophy ER.

Then deciding on the colour only one choice and photos below show the first day at home (march 12th) , and some journeys I did to the Lack District, East coast and Lands End and all beautiful journeys (jeez that sounds like Trump !!).

Never regretted the choice at all after 5K miles

Never a problem to say I will meet you at the car ,to anyone you are giving a lift to as they can always find where you parked.

Or even just pointing out what an MG4 looks like if someone asks.

TBF in the end the choice was easy !

and for anyone worried about SoH I got an OBD dongle as for my planned 2500km journey want this tied in with ABRP.

4500 miles, not given easy ride, about 70% at home charging 30% fast and just this degradation
