Its my wife's MG S5. I'm regularly charging up to 100%, so there's no restriction on that.

I usually have it scheduled for night charge but I've toggled off the schedule.

This is a new one for me. Heading on a long journey and the car is at 82%, thought I'd top it up to 100% for maximum miles. I'm using my home 7w charger and I keep getting Charging Aborted, I'm sure I've charged from around 80% before. Anyone else had this issue?

My average is 3.0 often falls to 2.9. Can't even remember last time I got above 3.0. I'm 58 years old and generally drive steadily. Never understand how people get so much more.

Big relief, turns out the seat mechanism is faulty, it's not going as far forward as it should. Looking forward to getting it fixed now

Odd my wife is 5.1 too, wonder if its an issue with the mechanism. Do you have the Trophy version?

We received our leased MGS5 this week and my wife finally had the chance to try it out but noticed her feet don't reach the pedals! Before ordering this we'd planned to test drive it, unfortunately she'd misplaced her license so only I drove it and she just relied on me. But its not something...

Actually you're right I am on 26p peak time rate, and my standing charge is 63p per day, yes combined it is £1 per day. I wasn't aware of smart charging, it sounds good?

Previous daytime was around 27p, this will be around 32p

I'm currently with EDF, just switched to their Go Electric tariff which has 9p off peak. It would cost me around £100 to move to another supplier.

I just got my MGS5 and also looking to get a charger installed. Currently I'm considering waEV EV1S charger, based on cost and positive reviews on Trust pilot. Is there anything I should be aware of before committing?

That's interesting, for some reason I was starting to think that 150kw chargers would always be more expensive than 50kw chargers, not the case it seems. I'm likely to travel to Manchester at least once if not twice a month, I just want to factor the time and cost of those journeys.

Basically, as 5teep mentioned above, 50kW seems to be the norm from what I've so far encountered, so its why I used that as a benchmark.

Apologies for the pedantic question (still new to EVs), but I'm on the verge of getting a MG S5, and looking for some clarification on charging. According to data on Autotrader, charging via 50kW public charger, the S5 takes over 2 hours to reach 80%. Yet most other cars in its class and...
