Then the issue will probably be that you can get updates to fix it but those might well give you LKA defaults to on.I'll not lie, but for the 1st time ever I did experience this (13,000 miles, 13 months old) - albeit at 60-70mph - but today all back to normal. (with no further issues, i'm lucky that LKA equals OFF all times) - basic SR version
I don't get this, but in my MG4 EV, every single time the battery drops to 15%, I get a warning about power and I cannot accelerate. This is so dangerous, imagine if I was merging onto a motorway or overtakingWhen i drove to work today i set off with 32% battery and the car had lost most of its power, the acceleration was slow and felt like i had the handbrake on, i was struggling to go over 50mph on the bypass and then struggling to get over 22mph going up a hill in a 30 zone.
Im going to assume that with it being -6 degrees that the car automatically went in to power save mode as it couldn't access all the power in the battery.
Is anyone else having similar issues?
Well mine is a sack of shit lemon and its full of problems since it left the factory in China. I should have rejected it when i first picked it up because no update MG has ever done has made any difference and it still has power loss issues below 50% battery even when its not that cold!I don't get this, but in my MG4 EV, every single time the battery drops to 15%, I get a warning about power and I cannot accelerate.

Needless to say, I cant wait to hand back the keys and I will NEVER go near an MG dealership again.

Even if it didn't have the power issue, I'd still be glad to see the back of it. The build quality is quite poor for the price, with my car developing a lot of creaks and rattles by the time it had only done 6000 miles, the driver seat started creaking badly after a couple of hundred miles, and now something is knocking on the left rear corner.That does sound like the Bowfer problem from 2022 and if they can't fix it in 2024 you're well rid of it.
Check the thread below folks, hopefully there’s some info in there.
I’ve not had my MG4 long but I believe when the high voltage battery gets low you get a message prompting you to go into Energy Saving Mode (I think when it gets to 10%) I might be wrong on this
Hope you get it sorted.
MG4 losing power
Hey. I have a MG4 SE. The car has been idle since saturday. When I started to drive today it gave 100% power up to about 50-60 kmph and then it dropped down to 56% power. Battery was around 76%. After driving about 10 min it could give 100% at 120 kmph. It is -5c outside. Does the battery...www.mgevs.com
I can charge at home and it's not very good value for money with the amount it costs to the distance the car will travel on that charge because I get about 100 miles in winter and 140 in summer at a charging cost of about £16. My WRX can almost do that many miles off £20 of fuel. Which just proves how expensive EVs actually areIf you can't charge at home it's an issue, for sure. But you do seem to have been sold a lemon.
Whatever is wrong with my car, it's put me off MG for good and it's put me off EVs in general because everything is a compromise with them and the only benefit used to be the price per mile but that ship sailed a while ago and its never coming back.
They say most EV batteries can only handle 1000 charging cycles, if you are charging yours daily then that gives you around 3 years before its goosed.
I hope you dont plan to own it.
3 years? I don’t believe that unless you done exceptionally high mileage in that timeWhatever is wrong with my car, it's put me off MG for good and it's put me off EVs in general because everything is a compromise with them and the only benefit used to be the price per mile but that ship sailed a while ago and its never coming back.
