I had similar issues with my V2C Trydan and it ended up being a charger firmware issue. My MG4 would stop and restart charging sporadically, so I opened a ticket with V2C and, after some investigation they ended up releasing a firmware upgrade that fixed the issue. On the other hand, I've also...

:eek: My car is already over 6 months old and I've never discharged it bellow 30%. I've only done charges to 100% every 2-4 weeks to allow for the normal cell balancing to run, but nothing else. Thank you all for this thread, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken me to find that...

I'm starting to consider replacing the lead acid battery by one of those compatible 12V lithium batteries. They have the same form factor and integrate a charger inside, so it should be plug and play solution.

Hi, I just saw the same warning light on my car today. I was driving during the weekend and left the car in the garage, connected to the charger with a schedule to slowly charge from my solar system at home (13:00 to 16:30). It charged just fine yesterday, but today, when I got in to setup the...

I almost scratched it today ?, I miscalculated an ended just about to break the left mirror (driver side), thankfully I managed to realize about it and closed them. At the end I even managed to get the car in an angle, so I was able to open the driver side door :). I'm afraid it is matter of...

So I've being doing some math and I think you are right, it is virtually impossible to overload anything when doing two pedal driving. The breaks are perfectly capable of sustaining any load the motor could develop and it would take way too long (several minutes) for the motor to overheat when...

It is in my to-do list, but I haven't found the nerve to try it just yet. I also have the impression it may be the way to go. I'll definitely let you know whenever I try it What I've done so far is practising getting it in (reverse) and out (forward) and I'm getting better at it, it still...

After reading the manual, I also found that some functionalities, like auto hold, only work if you have the seat belt fastened, which I didn't always do while parking in my garage.

Thank you @Fuss for the tape/spray trick, I was already considering something like that. Now that you've explained how to do it an what to look for, I'll definitely see if can find a few spots I can mark that are not in sidewalk, as adding marks in there would be illegal. I have to look for...

I've played with Auto Hold and, while it helps holding the car from falling back, it can be troublesome at the time of restarting the march, making the car to take off too fast. On the other hand, I don't think it works while reversing though. Same here, I find reversing cameras a good addition...

It is for most of the path, the worst part is passing through the two door frames, where I can easy hit the door mirrors. I regulate both mirrors to look down, and use the door handles as my reference for distance to the walls. My car is right hand drive, so the wheel is on the left side...

I will definitely try it next time I take the car out. No, it wont, and to make everything even worst, the street is not perpendicular to the garage entrance, so I have to back in an angle, turning right, stop, forward turning left to and repeat the operation until the car is aligned with the...

Here are a few photos showing my situation. Note that the car is backed almost all the way to the back wall, hence why the perspective makes it look like there is more available space than what it actually is. I've measured the minimum with of the entrance, where the door frames are, to be 220...

That is especially true when I try to get out the garage (forward up the ramp) and unfortunately, due to my inexperience aligning the car before reversing, it is also the case if need to stop and forward a bit to fix my aliment (which I shouldn't need). That is very interesting, I would never...

Absolutely, but I still don't have enough experience to be able align it perfectly, hence why I'm trouble. Next time I'll spend more time aligning the car to avoid that issue. Yes, mine has the display, but I haven't paid too much attention to it, I think the corner lines are mostly always in...
