1 years and 11,000 miles of easy motoring with my MG5. Very impressed with my first service (on service plan) at Spirit. The service video link lasted over 4 minutes and detailed the exact amount of wear on each tyre and brake, along with a full explanation of all the other checks done under...

The one I hate the most is the argument of "I just don't think electric cars are ready yet". It's a poor argument. Who will announce when they are ready... Brian Cox? Martin Lewis? Jeremy Clarkson? We now have Liberty Charge units and reserved EV bays in the terrace streets of our town, so...

It was a fun show and some good talks about Heat Pumps etc. I test drove Tesla model 3, Polestar, ID3, Ioniq5 and the ZS. The ZS was dead easy to drive as it was all familiar controls. Would recommend ZS to anyone wanting an SUV shape, but MG5 is best for me with the extra space and estate...

Hi Steve Sounds like you are trying all the right things with the bp app. One other test would be plug in, then lock the car, then go inside and see if your smart metre has lit up like it's Christmas 🎄. The car may not start charging AC until the car is locked. Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting this and for everyone who contributed on the attached feed. Great to see this is looking stable. Are you able to access State Of Health SOH for the battery? Any observations on this changing over time eg better after a balancing charge?

Dare I say we need to consider the bigger picture when considering the quirks. 5000 miles in and an occasional sticky handle is my only quirk. I was chatting to the owner of an Audi Q4. £45k plus car. He asked me what the range was on my MG5. He was impressed with 250 miles on the MG and...

The MG5 has no API that will talk to the Ohme Home Pro. So the way forward is to plug in and then do some maths. If you are at 30% and want to charge to 80%, the use the slider in the Ohme app to a 50% charge. It will then stop charging at 80% without any further intervention. If you have a...

Ohme Home Pro is a good charger. Ordered through Ohme and installed by LCS Energy. Just need to do some simple maths on the percentage you want to add and then pick the time you want the charger to finish charging. That way you can charge overnight using cheaper energy deals and be greener as...

Definitely not a problem. I drove from Kettering to Huddersfield on Saturday 128 miles for the first time. Dual and motorway. 100% to 42% battery on MG5 LR. 65mph on adaptive cruise control. It was raining most of the way, which reduces range too. 70mph would have been fine, but more speed...

Picked up my Excite LR today. Really impressed and Spirit MG Corby were great too.
