    Motorway Driving

    Tried ACC on steeper hills and yes it does regen so I stand corrected! I still feel that it lifts and coasts a bit on shallower hills but I guess this is a good thing.

    Motorway Driving

    6 hours driving on Saturday… ACC set to 65. Accelerate to 70 and lift then the car coasts back to 65 with 0 regen showing. Tried setting at 40 today and accelerating to 60 and same happens. Still can’t see any regen on ACC downhill. Seems to coast not regen.

    I’m not convinced my Trophy uses regen in ACC. If it puts the brakes on then I see some regen but ACC down hills power drops to 0 and shows no -ve regen.

    Balance charge graphs

    Managed a 7% to 100% balance charge at the office today. Some data from Home Assistant for those that like graphs. HA took some time to connect so missed the first few minutes. Battery seems to get to 90% and then jumps to 100%

    Taking MG5 on holiday to Belgium: tips & gripes

    August 2023 we did 1900mile round trip to Annecy including a day trip to Chamonix. Found charging easier and cheaper than the UK. Found that Lidl’s have chargers often off the main roads so quiet. At that time they were offering 25cents/kW which was a bargain! If you can avoid the long trips at...
