As a 13amp cable for 240VAC is rated at 3kW, and as long as nothing else is on the socket with the granny lead, it should surely be fine? Catie G7KTL - licensed radio ham and 224 electronics trained

This seems like a crazy omission in design. My neighbour has the inflatable "roof bars" on their non-MG car for the same reason, I believe. https://frostfire.co.uk/products/moonrack-xl-padded-roof-rack

My self-adopted 'Dad' passed away with Alzheimer's Dementia on top of terminal lung cancer in January of this year. :-( As for spending money on keep a petrol car on the road ... it feels like dead money and just shovelling it in hand over fist. Meanwhile an EV feels like a much cleaner and...

I've snapped a pic of the back of his car to look up what it actually is on the DVLA website and ... It's an April 2016 E220d with a 1950cc engine. That gets 47.1 - 53.3 mpg WLTP, and the road tax is possibly £20 a year as it is probably an E220d SE 4d 9G-Tronic version with <102g/km CO2...

It's a sixth-generation E-Class (I'll look up which model from the registration plate), which is one of his business vehicles for luxury private hire to and from airports, etc. Apparently, it's £20 a year VED too??? I have no idea. I am not a fan of Mercedes anyhoo.

My neighbour today (one of those who has dissed EVs, as well as Chinese MGs because they're cheap crap apparently) said his Mercedes diesel does 80 to the gallon and he gets 1000 miles from a tank after he's filled it in five minutes.

I know I am not the only one who seems to have a pile of middle-aged 'friends' who are all too quick to offer up all of the 'evidence' as to why EVs are a bad idea and their 80 miles to the gallon FF car is much better. Ugh. What do you do? I replied to a 'you can't charge at home so how are you...

That's kind of what I'm seeing. I used to own a mahoosive MG ZT-T (which I decided I didn't like in the end for various reasons) but I did love - as I do with my current Honda CR-V - the flat access to the boot space! The scooter you illustrate is very similar to mine as you can see from the...

Thank you very much! ? That's what I thought looking at the capacity figures. ? I saw the article on the MG4 estate recently and will be keeping an eye out for details!

I am ok with folding the tiller (handlebars) and the seat after removal as I am capable but can't walk around all day at events or for miles. ? In the future, if my MS progresses, I may have to buy a wheelchair and driven wheel attachment which, whilst they also come apart, the wheelchairs...

I think the MG5 would be better too. Otherwise I have to turn the MG ZS or MG4 into a 2-seater van! ?

Hi @salty and thanks for the welcome. My only other have-to-have is a big boot as I carry a small mobility scooter. I live with Multiple Sclerosis and currently the scooter fills the rear my 2003 Honda CR-V! That has about 527 litres with the load cover. I do like the MG5 and MG ZS EVs...

Hi everyone! Just joined as I am researching and swatting up on, not only about which MG EV would suit me when finances eventually allow but, all about how life with an EV pans out and what you need to know. I used to have a ZT-T personally but hated it in the end and got rid of it. I drove my...
