Yeah hopefully less of an issue, but I suppose it will happen at some point once the batteries get very old. Hoping for 15 years but very high milage cars might have it earlier [edit - if NMC chemistry].

I don't think we need too much mystery on here!

Tough with trucks. CCS would be useful so they can use the same charging infrastructure as cars. But then higher charging speeds would be handy given the huge batteries involved. But that would need different connectors (MCS?) and a lot of cooling of the cables making them unwieldy. With...

Bjorn seems to think that degraded cells suffer from poor (higher?) internal resistance which heats them up more during use. I'm assuming that a badly degraded cell/module heats up much more than 30 degrees under use. Luckily our MG batteries (like all cars other than the early EVs) are much...

And I've never had over 70kw on our MG4. These big batteries are immense aren't they!

Does Bjorn think the issue is that the battery performance drops when it gets hot, and this happens much more in these degraded batteries? And they heat up when in use so a heat-tested figure would be more accurate than the cold figure the system uses?

Why do you need to set anything in the Kia if it is the recipient? Doesn't it just accept whatever is sent its way?

So this is more of the model 3 rival, rather than the IM5? But price-wise will undercut the 3 and EV6 etc.

It is the technical name for the home charging wall box thing. Technically they aren't chargers because it is the car that does the AC-DC conversion. These are changing all the time and some might not be available to new customers so I wouldn't be confident knowing what is out there. If...

I'm not sure what the cost of a 6 month warranty on a seven year car would be. But I doubt you would bother at that point. I'd always go for the pre-reg and avoid some depreciation loss, but some people like to have the latest number plate. I'd also see if you can get a bigger discount...

Have you got a '22 MG4, or did you just get the MOT done early? Didn't think there were any '22's. Our MOT is due in June so I will have to remember to come back on here then.

Going through the residues of that M6 incident last Wednesday there was a big Jag in the middle lane with its hazards on getting in the way of traffic. Must have failed in the traffic jam and was now keeping it going. Nightmare.

Autodubbed since he closed the English language channel. It works, but it takes a while before the dubbing is available. Great - you're experiencing the future. As @Gomev mentioned Tobias the elektrotrucker has been making long videos of his experiences of driving one plus making an app for...

Turns out we had a collection as well.

Why does everyone take what I say so literally? I suppose I am usually so precise that this is the expectation.
