These are the ones I got: - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0827R67J3?th=1 They're really bright and came in a box of 4, which suited our two MG4s just fine:) 10 does seem a little excessive! @JanS I used a small screwdriver to pop open the interior lamp cover, but a hard plastic tool is...

They're ok. The upgraded model will be brighter. I'd get them instead. https://a.co/d/2mcKU91 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9FJ39W1?tag=avf-user-links-20 Edit moderator: shortcut URLs are not allowed.

A quick FYI... I asked our* AI "Chatbot" if there was a way... Can you throttle the DC fast charge rate? Based on the official MG4 manuals, there is no documented function that allows a user to directly throttle or limit the DC fast charging rate manually via the infotainment system or vehicle...

Working for me now... One of our newer members was asking about the slow DC charging he's experiencing. I agreed it was slow and responded I wasn't aware of a way he could have affected it himself. Figured I might as well test our AI Overlord with the question! Can you throttle the DC fast...

I'd be taking it to the dealer saying it's not charging properly. You should be getting at least 100kW at that state of charge (SoC). To be sure, see if you can start a charge session at a Supercharger with a sub 20% SoC. Take a photo of the car screen showing that. Then see what rate you get...

Yes, that appears low to me. Just to confirm, you have the 64kWh NMC battery? I'm not aware of any way you can throttle the DC charging rate from the car. Strange... Hmmm

Not here in Australia either. The concept is ridiculous... and DANGEROUS!!! Having to stop every 2 or so hours to charge for 30 minutes is actually a good thing. You need a rest.

Yeah, initially I read that post and assumed it was warning against plugging in at 27 Fahrenheit... i.e. When it was frozen... Then I realised it was summer in the UK and our Hillbilly must be talking Celsius... To think, stewing in that awful heat :LOL: Ho, ho, ho... 27 is nothing. A hot...

The MG4 like many current EVs has a 400V DC system. This means that chargers which are advertised at their 800V capacity will not deliver that rating at 400V. It certainly does matter which "brand" EV charger you use. That Ampol unit doesn't support supply of 150kW @ 400V. It's a notional...

Yeah, for many circumstances 75kW charge rate is fine. When doing long distance trips it does pay to use the good chargers and get the full speed experience though. Just out of interest, what were the sites that you only got the slower charge rate?

100% it's 150kW @ 800V. You see this on heaps of chargers here in Australia. I get 144kW charging from Tesla Superchargers and the good Kempower units around NSW, ACT and SA but only 70-80ish from the "150kW" 800V units. Completely expected.

Doesn't seem to work for me... My test query: - How do you manually unlock the charger? The response The message you submitted was too long, please reload the conversation and submit something shorter. :(

Absolutely. That last 10% is excruciating slow compared to the first 50% You just don't do it unless there is no alternative. Even having to go to above 85% for a leg of the journey is a right PITA. Never plan on it if at all possible.

LFP batteries are great and as with most things in life, there are swings and roundabouts... Our AI overlords suggest the following... In general, NMC (Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) batteries tend to perform better in cold weather than LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries. While...

That's not actually "true". You just need to swap out to the main screen UI and the drop down menu works. Then you swap back to AA. I use this capability whenever I can be bothered turning off ELK, which really isn't that often. You haven't disabled AA. You've just changed the focus of the...
