Thanks for your suggestion. I have held a bus pass for 22 years and frequently use it. The point that I was trying to make is the fact that the MG 5ev has a good built in navigator that will, if you ask it, find the shortest route which saves energy by increasing your miles/kWh and reducing the...

Your comment prompted me to look at my average kWh. I was surprised to see a reading of 4.3. Then I realised that I had reset it last Week end when visiting my daughter in Wales. I have the old MG 5 (now well over two years old). The reason for this reading I put down to the fact that I tend to...

Although I have had my MG5ev for almost 2 years I have only done 10,000 miles. My battery S. O. H. Is still reading 100% via obd. I have only needed to use a DC. Charger once and mostly just use the granny charger. Can anybody tell me the resolution of the SOH reading (ie does it drop to 99.9%...

Are you still collecting data on battery SOH etc. I have MG5ev and access to obd

Sorry to hear about your problems. I've had my 5ev for eleven months and it cleans up looking like new. Mine is just the basic white though.

I got mine on the basis that it seemed to be the cheapest 50kWh battery on wheels. Having made that decision last February, I have enjoyed every minute of driving it and find it good fun, reliable and even the few reservations that I initially had, such as no hand brake and nothing for my left...

If was in your shoes I wouldn't hesitate to buy an MG5 eV. I got mine last February on-line for £22k 7 year warrantee. I can do 200miles on a full charge even in winter providing I drive carefully. In Summer quite a bit further. I am surprised to find many small hotels and B&B's let you use a...

Nice to know that MG are improving their product and I'm sure they have done that. However I am really pleased with my 5ev it does all I need including 178 miles with 20% charge left in the battery and it was £2200 cheaper than I can get the New model.

With an eV down hill with no throttle charges the battery, converting the potential energy lost in losing height into potential battery energy (Kwh). On the flat or uphill some throttle is required to move the car converting the potential energy from the battery into kinetic energy. Now reducing...

I look forward to it

My previous car was a Kia Ceed which I kept for 7 years. I replaced it with the MG 5ev. My eV is a totally different but a much more enjoyable driving experience. I love the silence and smooth acceleration. It hugs the road really well and I can easily get 200 miles from a full charge even in...

I am not a Scottish in I am not a Scottish member however I did take my one and only driving lesson in Scotland in 1956. My brother thought me to drive we went from Wolverhampton to Inverness and back over a period of two weeks and climbed about 10 of your beautiful mountains in between...
