Speak of the devil. Mines just done this again (retaining settings for Regen) Turned off and put on charge at 9am this morning and not driven until 3:15pm. How coincidental

Cheers. Ready for a service this month so will ask them to check.

Is there a way to check if the module is on the correct version number? Mine is fine around town and slower roads (up to 50mph). However, as soon as you're going 70mph for 20mins or so (in my car) the heating is no longer steady. This could be the module has not been updated, even though I asked...

So something you don’t use often works fine…… right great insight 🙄🙄

Heating not cooling!

I agree, no need for battery heating at all in this country for journeys like you mentioned above so best to leave off :). Battery heating is only to maintain acceleration and charging speed in colder weather. I notice the MG4 is quite bad for shorter journeys compared to my previous Ioniq...

You can't be more wrong on this one. Far more efficient to slow down with the lowest level of regen you can get away with in the distance you have left. Start lifting off early with regen L1 and coming to a stop via coasting is much more efficient than leaving braking to the last minute and...

I find after R67 the scale is better, but the quality of temperature management is very sub par. For example around town 21°C is now fine, however as soon as I'm on the motorway (or it could just be after 30 mins or so, but I usually on travel on motorways by this time point ) the car is...

This is not always the case. I have had the car at least once every couple of weeks retain the last settings for regen and driving mode even when turned off (locked) for a few hours. What I suspect is happening (possibly due to MG's superb programming skills) is the car isn't fully shutting down...

I'm sure many on here have noticed that I don't have that many complementary views of the MG4, however based on my experience of driving all over the place (England & Wales) I actually find the traffic data very good, and pretty reliable. I use the Sat Nav all the time (even though I know where...

When the car is turned on it uses 300W as displayed on the screen (1.9kW drops to 1.6kW) when leaving car on charge. The figure i used above is from iSMART and shows 1.9kW with car turned immediately off, as electronic systems drop offline this decreases the cars parasitic consumption leading...

I don't think that's correct, the car (and a slight loss in the external power cable) is using the delta between these two measurements. The delta accounts for both heat in external cable and car wiring along with the car's electronics/modules . The cable cannot be losing the c.300W in heat else...

It appears the charging efficiency of the MG4 varies when using a granny from 84% to 89% on my own vehicle. 1.9-2.0kW going in to the car vs. 2.22-2.26kWbcoming out of the charger @ c.243V.

My previous car was a 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Electric. It was the only car I've ever kept for more than 2 years, extending it's lease each year until at 4 years thought I should get something else due to how many miles I now do. In retrospect I wish I would have simply purchased my old Ioniq from...

Wasn't sure where to put the VN.txt file (so just put the file in each folder as well as the root drive). Oddly, you can't upgrade software until car is at 14% SoC or higher. I wonder why they chose 14% and not 15%. It also appears you can't update software whilst the car is charging either.
