I average around 150 miles in a normal week, so that means I’d be bang on for charging to the recommended weekly 100% anyway. I put my MG4 standard range on my home charger this morning & as with my former MG ZS sr, it doesn’t seem to allow you to automatically stop charging at 80%. The battery...

that was puzzling me wondering if you could shut it down. Curiosity got the better of me & I’ve just been outside in the dark & tested it and it works! - keeps the radio on which is useful. Many thanks for posting?

It doesn’t offer one pedal driving & doesn’t bring you to a halt but you certainly notice it after driving a conventional car….& if you’ve got a lead footed nearest & dearest who treats the accelerator as an off/on switch, you notice it as a passenger as well!?

I think with LFP batteries, you are generally supposed to charge them to 100% to preserve them - although I personally wouldn’t leave it for days at 100% not being used. That’s why with my Mg Zs SR they greyed out the ability to automatically stop at 80% on the touchscreen - it’s there for the...

I was quoted £303.21 for a 2 year plan for a standard range. I don’t tend to keep cars long so I might as well just pay at the time. I suspect MG will have new cars coming thick & fast on this new platform, so lots to tempt us!

We have another MG4 insurer! NFU will now insure MG4 if you have the ABI code. My current insurer Lloyds could not quote so I cancelled. Took out 5 day mg drive away insurance to pick the car up yesterday. Admiral quoted £600!! & NFU took the time to contact their underwriters & came back with a...

I looked up the battery barcode of my std range & it came up as LFP. I’m well pleased. I’d been wondering why the 80% charge limit ability was disabled & goes straight to 100% I guess all us standard rangers can now pretend we’ve all got cut price Tesla SRs! Technology on our driveways!?

Yes I looked up the bar code on the battery label on my Standard range & it came up as a LFP battery pack - so no pesky cobalt or nickel? Looks like MG have done a Tesla & standard range have LFP batteries that don’t mind being charged to 100%. Seems like LFP have a much longer life cycle than...

bought this over the phone. First time i drove it was to pick it up. And I think it’s fantastic. SE standard range in Batersee Blue. Pre registered end of jan 22. £24495 - In this market, all due diligence went out the window!

Picked my Standard Range up a week ago. 128 mile motorway journey home. 8C temperature, Windy wet weather , everything on. Absolutely horrible conditions. Set cruise to 65mph. At end Car said 3.4miles per kwh - 23% battery & 40 Mile range left - so about 170 mile range in wintry conditions. I...
