Great data capture! Yesterday I drove (mostly highway at 110km/h with cruise control) to my daughter and used 28% (from 92% to 64%) to get there, but I used 37% (from 64% to 27%) to drive back!? So I wonder if the SOC calulcation that the car shows does show the SOC(capacity) or the...

Disclaimer: I do not drive a lot (10k a year) and I live in sunny Spain ... My PV installation generates max 6kW and I almost only charge my MG4 with surplus electricity! A setting on my SMA charger (connected to SMA Home Manager and SMA inverter) makes this easy. No battery and only...

Because my house only has a 230V 2 phase connection (of 9.2 kW), I bought the 7.4 kW version. As you can see in the attached picture, the smart charger tries to follow the PV generation curve and consumption - adjusting every minute ...

Because I already had a PV system with an SMA Sunny Boy and SMA Home Manager, I bought the SMA Smart Charger when I bought my MG4. After some configuration issues, I'm now able to charge in the various modes. The best mode: only send the excess power to the car - instead of "gifting" it to the...

My MG4 came with a 5m type2 to type2 cable, no granny charger - car purchased in Spain
