If you took the "P" away then you are relying on expensive petrol to recharge your battery only as you drive it. PHEVs benefit when you are topping the battery with "P" electricity typically at 7-8p per kWh. I am fairly light footed in my HS PHEV and often get 4.5-5.0 miles per kWh. I am on...

Hello, I have had my PHEV sine June and decided to install a wall charger, 7kW as in future I expect to switch to full EV. The key is buying a decent charger compatible with energy suppliers and like in my case also compatible with solar. My original plan was to charge the car off solar then top...

Hello, have had my fantastic MG HS PHEV for almost a month now and wanted to check something out. I am spending almost all my time in EV mode (great) and each night I top up the battery to 100% in readiness for what the next day might bring. My questions:- Is topping the battery each night to...

Glad you feel the same as me, goes to show that all review comments are highly subjective. My test drive felt great on the road conditions I tried. The article also takes about a 7 speed gearbox but am pretty certain that the PHEV only has a two speed so potentially the research into the car is...

Hope I am allowed to post a link here MG HS PHEV review: budget SUV with big value but flawed performance to a review on the HS PHEV. It mentions for country driving that the car has very significant understeer "like a three-legged dog". Just curious what those who actually used the car for a...

Not sure if anyone willing to share but was wondering what range of insurance costs there are for this vehicle. I just asked my broker for a rough calc as not yet bought one so gave the plate of the car I did a test drive in. It came out at around £1k. I am in my 60s, clean licence etc. so had...

Absolutely excellent, thank you. This is info you just can't get anywhere else. Hope to get mine in next couple of months and very much looking forward to it.

Hi, Many thanks for your reply, this is really helpful. I am 6'4" (192cm) and have found the HS one of the few really comfortable cars to sit in and the interior space means the people behind me are OK as well. So I agree although there is better MPG out there for long runs, I like the idea of a...

Hello, always had an ICE car (not MG) up to now but want to try electric power. The new MG HS with its up to 75m range seems to fit the bill as don't think I am quite ready for full EV. I have some questions of the expert users here that I hope you can help with:- 1. When the battery is low I...

Hi JWPALFREY. This is a great question as I am interested in a MG HS PHEV Trophy and was curious what the MPG for the engine only is as occasionally we do long trips to Cornwall / Scotland (from East Anglia) and the battery will have dropped to low well on the way. It sounds like owners of the...
