    Battery Equalisation/Balancing MGS5 second attempt

    Does equalisation charge have to be done from a low percentage SOC?

    Range - 80%

    Yeah fair enough, I sort of realised thats what you meant after I made my post. I never intentionally reset my trips, however, hence why i don't recall ever seeing the heinously inflated range prediction. I don't know if it ever happens by itself, but I haven't noticed it.

    Range - 80%

    With 3.7 average efficiency (my average is probably worse than this tbh), 80% is about 180

    Range - 80%

    I would never see a range of over 200 from 80% personally.

    European driving advice sought

    You do not have to turn off the car completely. I travelled 2 weeks ago and I used P mode. They say to "switch off your engine and put your car into park or drive". On the way back I had to be prompted to turn off my headlights (forgot) but otherwise there was no issue whatsoever.

    MGS5 in the wild?

    Wait til Geely EX5's start showing up! I still haven't seen another S5 on the road!

    The Ultimate MGS5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    I had similar efficiency (2.9) travelling a parallel route (A1 up the midlands - North North West generally) yesterday. 100% was due to the extreme wind as it wasn't particularly cold for me.

    Differences between the MG4 and the MGS5 EV

    One touch windows - I had previously read that this was meant to be present on all windows on Trophy models. I felt a bit annoyed it was a Trophy-only feature. Guess that was wrong 🤔

    Custom Drive Mode

    This is because settings 2 and 3 are considered unsafe in certain driving conditions (snow), so it always defaults to setting 1.

    Two weeks in, feeling a bit Meh about the MGS5 EV if I am honest.

    Yeah I suppose. Using sports mode is a perfectly acceptable solution for me. Makes the car handle nicely. I don't really like it in normal mode, but sports mode is a dream. I can't really understand the logic of not even having tried it. The pedal-feel is essentially the entire difference.

    "Not tried sports mode yet" Currently you're complaining about the accelerator not being responsive enough whilst having the car in a mode that has specifically reduced accelerator sensitivity.

    Stopping Android Auto bringing its screen up until it's chosen

    No idea how to fix but definitely would be nice. Considering you always need to apply custom settings first it'd be nice to have an option to go straight to that screen.
