has anyone found a way to set EV mode as default? I try to remember to set it to EV, but when I make a short trip, sometimes it jumps to Auto. I have to notice the change in order to reset to EV.
Hi I agree, very irritating and annoyingly expensive as well.This is an irritating issue. Can we not get an MG solution? It’s spoiling a good car
But then you have to remember to flip it back over at the end of each journey!My expectation is that EV would be default. Sounds just begin to drive. I’m learning that it’s not. And now I flip my reminder card!
You are 100% correct with with regards to way how the HS PHEW operates and differs from the VAG PHEV system.We’ve just had a remap done in the hope that some of these problems would be fixed. They haven’t and it ruins the ownership experience for us because we purchased the car to reduce our running costs.
We live at the top of a steep hill and can trick the car into staying in EV by crawling down under heavy brakes. We also turn off the heater but if for any reason the “ I know better “ ECU kicks in the engine, it simply refuses to go back into EV.
Our daughter and son in law have a 2022 Skoda Superb IV that allows absolute control of running mode and as a consequence they get much better mileage than we do.
SAIC Motor owns 37% of VAG. We as owners, should demand that SAIC/MG sort this problem out pronto. As is stands, we are driving PHPart-timeEVs that don’t live up to their fuel mileage claims- at least ours doesn’t…
