Well, the cars has been seen by the MG dealer. They really made an effort and asked me lots of details, but there were no faults in the logs and they could not reproduce the issue. The most likely cause is still a software issue, causing the reduction of regenerative braking. Anyway, the brakes...

I booked the car in for diagnostics in Feb

In my experience you can use one-pedal in Sport mode and it regenerates just as much as in Normal mode. In snow mode you are right: there is hardly any regeneration and one-pedal is not available

I noticed indeed that some of the settings are not reversed when toggling through the modes. For instance One-Pedal is not restored when you leave snow mode. When I approached the crossing was slowing down normally via regeneration; then suddenly the regeneration stopped completely and I sped...

Today I was toggling between the various driving modes, in the mean time on screen checking which wheels were powered. I ended in Sport mode again. When I had to slow down for the next crossing the car was regenerative braking, but not enough to halt in time. It also felt like the regenerative...

For a starter you might charge your battery up to 85 - 90 % instead of full. I also find it disconcerting when your one pedal mode suddenly behaves differently. I normally charge up to 80% to avoid this behaviour

That'll be my new habit too. I've got my new Michelin Cross Climate 2 fitted yesterday. Tested them today from Montrose to Glen Shee. Felt confident despite some icy patches and occasional snow on the back roads.

Which tyres are you using? My experience uphill on ice was also beyond expectation, but only in drive, not in reverse.

Thanks for the explanation and the tyre tip! Edit: cross climate 3 doesn't seem available for the mg4 wheel size

I recently got a 2025 MG4 Xpower and this week was my first snow experience. I was parked nose down on the sloping driveway and had trouble reversing in snow driving mode. A rear wheel was spinning and that was it. By driving a bit forward and then back again I finally managed to get to level...

Beats me, but I'm not really experienced in this field

Thanks Terry, I'll look into that. I'm not that keen on adding new switches. I've already got a huge MTS to switch between grid and inverter EPS. And what's the point having an inverter with a second ac input if doesn't work unless you implement dry contact. I'm going to complain about this first.

Hi John and others, I've been in contact with Solax a number of times. They have confirmed that I can use the GEN port of my inverter only for a generator that supports Dry Contact communications. That rules out every simple generator and also V2L. And renders the GEN port of my top of the...

Thank you all very much for the detailed info. Much appreciated. I'm going to mull it over. It's all fairly new to me. I'll report back my progress.

@Everest Which LifePO4 charger would you recommend, suppose I want to power it from my MG4 V2L, which is limited to 2,2kW (~ 10 Amp at 217V AC) ? Would something like this work: LiFePO4 Charger (Fogstar Energy) - 48V 35A ? I need to connect the charger to the left view of pack (Solax...
