    Winter coming 12V battery

    Yes it can. That's how they are supposed to be used and they should have a fail safe so if connected the wrong way round they won't work.

    Best medium SUV 2025 - MGS5 Australia.

    It's good fun. I was giving my mate and his partner a lift and as we exited a side road onto a dual carriageway I put it into Sport mode and booted it as we exited the traffic island. He was impressed and she was just a mass of giggles in the back seat. I suggest you engage the speed limiter...

    Using Tesla App and Chargers ?

    It's not just MG that has been removed from the Tela app. BYD, Seal and other Chinese EVs have also been removed. There's speculation its to do with America banning Chinese software and hardware.

    7kW home charging cable recommendation for MG ZS EV 2020

    I doubt he will reply as he was last seen on the forums in July 2023 and the last posting before your recent one was December 2022.

    MGS5 headlights.

    Unlike traditional headlights which tend to emit scattered beams of lights which reflect off the moisture in foggy conditions, the LEDs fitted to new cars send out a flat topped beam of light so in theory it shouldn't reflect back into the driver's eyes.

    MGS5 equipment

    I was told that MG are no-longer supplying granny chargers so I kept the one from my MG4 when I part-exchanged it. The only time it was used was when a neighbour asked to borrow it as he'd been given a Mercedes EQA 250+ as a company car and his home charger wasn't being fitted for a couple of...

    There isn't an auto option on the MGS5. I notice this was your first posting on the MG EVs Community forum so welcome. You'll find lots of help, advice and banter on the forum for the ZS Hybrid + here MG ZS Hybrid+ Forum

    Changed up again, MGS5 on the drive

    I've turned the foot operation off in settings. I could never quite master the foot swipe unless I was lifting my elderly greyhound into or out of the car when it would start to shut mid-lift.

    Night time Screen dimming

    As mentioned on another thread, to set the night time level turn on your headlights and set your preferred screen brightness. Now when your headlights come on the screen will change to the level you have set. If that is still too bright swipe down from the top of the centre screen and turn the...

    USB keeps rescanning my files (First EV)

    Mine does the same. It also did it in my MG4.

    MGS5 V2L Adaptor

    Make sure it's compatible with MG's as they need a different value resistor to tell the car it's a discharge plug not a charging one. I'd also be cautious about buying one that seems too cheap as it might not meet the UK safety requirements and it'd be embarrassing if it overheated or gave you...
