That is interesting as the Lexus has cameras. A rapid accelerations speed would affect the efficiency. My MG5 is not radar controlled but just a basic cruise control.

Is the ACC worse than not using it? Is this just for the MG4? The perceived advice is try to maintain a constant speed. My Lexus App scores my EV driving performance on three categories:- 1) Acceleration - 86/100 2) Braking - 89/100 3) Constant Speed - 70/100 My...

Sorry Hyundai! That is very efficient!

Can you remind me what the range is on your Kia?

No idea which year but there was an issue with a cable rubbing and shorting due to poor design. It really put me off. Worth going onto the Enyaq EV owners website and reading the issues owners have had. Sadly, I think it would make a great EV but I was put off. There were posts about poor...

Our MG5 pre-facelift SR has been, and still is, amazing! I prefer driving it to our other car a Lexus NX300h hybrid. I actually baulk at going to fill up with petrol - it is not a cost thing. We decided to trade-in the NX for a pure EV. Top on my list was the MGS6. I did not test drive it but...

I had a 3 year plan with Lexus that cost around £40 a month. I did not use the last service and received a refund. To take out a service plan NOW for the same car would cost £57 a month. You do save, but worth checking the monthly payments against current prices for service.

The boot size quoted is misleading, I was disappointed when I saw the S6 in the flesh. The quoted figure for the boot is to the roof!

Read about the MG5 when it came out. was looking for a PHEV Outlander and came across my MG5 for sale. It was much better value used, than an Outlander. I was concerned about reliability but took the plunge! So glad I did! A very underrated car that is lovely to drive. Have now bought a second...

That is reassuring - thank you.

I read that the size of the cable is large enough to prevent a build up of heat at 32amps. If it was going to be a major issue, I think it would be flagged in the instructions.

The Curate's Egg!

Are there any guidelines / instructions on using your Ohme charger?

i AM WITH YOU NOW! Yes, there are a lot of variables. The way you drive is probably more important for efficiency. My MG5 is running at 3.2 miles/kW at the moment. - equivalent to 128mpg for an ICE vehicle - so I am more than happy. It was an interesting discussion - brake or regen? You takes...

Thank you for that. Using the regen facility does guarantee you are not using the friction brakes. Efficiency, one would suppose, is very dependent on driving style more than the regenerative capacity of the car. It was interesting to read drivers' views on this - thank you.

Sorry, I don't follow. I am asking if it makes any difference using the brakes (gently) rather than the regeneration setting. Which is more efficient? As the brakes supply regeneration.
