I find wheel spinning a bit of a problem, there doesnt seem much traction and even moderate acceleration can cause a spin. Of course having all that torque does encourage a bit of a rapid start..

Yes, the smart mechanics will be thinking about how to capture the market. Older vehicles are their bread and butter, a surprising amount of people service cars in warranty via the dealer. Once we start getting volumes of old EVs the process will become more common.

Did it twice Within the first few weeks of ownership. Not since. Handy routine someone mentioned on here or on Facebook, take out the charger, don’t focuse on putting the head on the charger or putting it back, make inserting the rubber and closing the flap on the car as always the very first...

Having bought my mg5 in the week it snowed on November, I was more than a little miffed, even though I knew to expect it that the long range was really only about 180 miles at zero degrees, and that’s driving carefully.

With no mechanical understanding of how the batteries are accessed in the mg5, is the process designed to be easily done? It sounds like something beyond the skills of a fitter at a dealer.

I’ve yet to see another MG5 in carlisle. Mine is Piccadilly blue….

12.5kw power would probably equate to what we got.

Even 215 miles in todays weather is very optimistic. I‘m a 1000 miles in and I’ve yet to get over 180 miles on a full charge.

I was able to get to Lancaster services. It charged fine there.

It was quite cold, but i was at 13% battery. Would 15kwph charge be considered normal with that amount of battery left and it been about 1C?

there seems to be complaints of it not been very fast, 37kwph instead of stated 120kwph. But nothing (other than my comments now) about 15kwph. terrible thing was this was first rapid charge, our first long journey in the car, and wife was with me. I could feel the “you said an all electric...

Had a series of issues yesterday trying to rapid charge for the first time. has anyone had a ccs rapid charge be very very slow? Sat at a gridserve for 1hr20 and it was delivering 15kwph. charged up enough to get somewhere else. Plugged in there and rapid charged as it should do! Same gridserve...

There doesn’t seen to be any regen on pilot/acc.

Ive been using this, its a little bit scary, especially on a roundabout, you need to have your wits about you. The car began to launch onto the roundabout as a car was coming round to my right.

about 180 on mine.... Only 12 days in though.
