    You CAN road trip an SE SR

    Hello Rolfe, the secret of driving an EV unveiled...planning ahead. Works for me every time. Great plan and enjoy your trip. We're heading for Kinloch Rannoch soon, we can do it in one hop from Southern Scotland, but want to check out the ChargePlaceScotland hub at Castleview Park and Ride for...

    Navigation

    Hi Pecker, There was occasion when I dropped below 20% and I was being informed by her 'ladyship' to "charge soon", the sat nav, which was I was using, actually showed me where the nearest charge stations were. I wasn't far from home so ignored it, but it was interesting that it did so. Also if...

    Are you happy with your MG4?

    Yes, great fun to drive. As above Bluetoot phone pairing sorted with software upgrade, made heating buttons bigger on the screen too which was good. At the end of the contract I just might go for an X-Power, the boss likes the green colour 😃

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    Hi Pebble & Griff, this happened to me too. 100's of tracks on a USB stick that did work in MG4, then stopped working. Whilst it was in at the dealers for a software update, I asked them to check the USB music. They informed that either something was wrong with my stick or the tracks weren't in...

    Adding a Shelly WiFi controller to a Chargemaster Homecharger

    Hello Big Nige, this is great news, never gave it a thought that there are devices like this available👍. I too have an early Chargemaster, just the same as yours fitted in 2016 and was contemplating replacing it with a smart one that works with Intelligent Octopus Go. Smart chargers didn't...

    Yes, the location is correct and all other function short cuts work well...just the EV station finder.

    Charging my New MG5 at home

    Your quite right John, I also had an incentive to buy the Outlander, £5000 recouped from the UK government by the retailer. This then dropped to £3000 and now doesn't exist. Then bought a Hyundai Kona Premium 64kwh with a 6 year 0% loan from Home Energy Scotland. Also no longer available, though...

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    Yes, I experienced all of the above and wondered what else to expect. Have any of you used the EV station finder in the map, all I get is one in China🤔😃 I've just tried connecting to the car and it won't work, it's been sitting 24 hours now...maybe it's sulking😏 Edit: Just woke it up with the...

    Charging my New MG5 at home

    I suppose I was one of the fortunate EV owners that benefitted from a UK government grant of £500 to install an EV charge point back in 2016 when I had an Outlander PHEV, it was topped up by the Energy Saving Trust through Home energy Scotland, they paid back my instalment of £240 so was net...

    Do you flash other mg4s?

    It happens round here quite a lot, there are quite a few in my neighbour hood. Also, when on holiday in Kinloch Rannoch, pulled in to charge up and another joined me! We were both heading for the cafe there, so we were able to compare notes.

    Scheduled charging - what am I doing wrong.

    Hello Derek O, I have a MG4 Trophy, Long Range and use a dumb charger that was fitted yonks ago. I have had the same issues as all mentioned above. Last night I plugged in to start charging at 00.30hrs until 04.30 hrs. with OctopusGo tariff. Before I walk away from the car, I give it a minute or...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    This happened to me just the other day, approaching Morrisons roundabout in Dumfries. I was just moving on to the roundabout at no more than a 5MPH and it slammed the brakes on. ACC wasn't engaged nor LKA. No traffic in the way, no pedestrians. I spoke to the dealer and it had happened to them...

    Interesting/worrying story from Scotland - ZS with no brakes.

    I think you all should take a good look at yourselves, this is shameless behaviour from you all. This DID happen to this poor man... or does the BBC website lie as well? I'm sure MG will be on the case and a factual investigation will take place ASAP.
