Sorpion..... Unless you have electric storage heating then your unit use will only be about 10 Kwhs per day... That equates to about 20 Amps at anyone time...I do appreciate that it is higher when you switch on your electric shower or cooker but overall they are on for short times... Most 3 bed...

In line with some of the forum threads and use of a battrey pack jump start...I wonder of Miles could indicate roughly how much current is required to start up the HV batteries if the 12v battery is flat

Lovemy....... I have charged it 6 times over the past two weeks ...half only needed a 15% top up..The other half required about a 50 % charge... Half of the charges were done at 2.5kW and the other half at full 7kW...I have to say neither power rating seemed to produce a better voltage level at...

I agree with both replies.... range anxiety only exists if you let it...I agree it is a slight shift of thought when planning journies which may have return range longer than range of vehicle but my advice is get a vehice with a range that can generally get you back home ...Personally I think I...

Peter... I had the buggy BMS mid Novemebr and the fix done last week.. I too have been monitoring.... have gone from 437 to 441 immediately.. Now it seems to be adding on another volt each couple of charges...Am at 444v currently In terms of range though..this has improved..with the buggy BMS it...

so if it seems to be a good idea to carry a battery pack in the car to get the car turned on if the 12v battery is flat...can anybody indicate how much current (amps) is required to do this ...so I can get the right size battery pack

All rapid chargers come with their own cable.. but some are Chademo only so just check... With regards to rapid charging from your type 2...it is possible but the MG can only accept 6.9kW charging so rapid charging even if you charge it from , say, a 40kW rapid charger with your type 2 then you...

lovemyev....which battery pack do you have

I have had my car for 12 months now.. Had the BMS update in Novemebr whih reduced range by 40% and voltage is full charge of 437Volts..It is going back for the BMS update fix on Wednesday...Will let you know howI get on

This is my worry...We all charge back to the dealers to get the BMS udate fix and we end up with other problems...mine goes in on Wednesday

Louise...I would contact Rolec direct...They are very good and will look to resolve speedily. They will at least be able to indicate whether there product has any issues with charging MG cars

I have and they have no idea...hence my request

You will get used to it .. it is a slight change of thought process... always planning journies around charging stations if on longer trips... best advise i can give is plan to stop with around 30 miles left in range..that way if you stop at a charger which is out of action then you have enough...

OK so can anybody confirm wthether their dealer has received the BMS fix yet... I cannot go on much longer with this reduced range

Most Charger leads are suitable for outside environments.. I would though avoid them sitting in puddles for days... Not sure if you already have a charger but you can can 'tethered' charging units which have the lead permanently fixed to the charger
