Don't find the width much of a worry. It is quite long but I'm trying to trust the parking cameras - they are really accurate down to the cm!

It'll be a lot different now we have the EV

Also saw one on Abergavenny!

Our new EV IS a 100kWh! But yes we just top up once or twice a week. Since we got the heat pump & solar for free, we sought to get the Powerwall 3. Our charger is a cheap one - so no integration with octopus. I use a third party app to run routines - to change the self-powered or time-based set...

Ooh lots of amazing advice. I have to agree - go as big as you can. We got ours done on the Eco4 grant. We had the ASHP and 5.2kW of panels. For free. We bought the Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, charges up at 5kW and can output 7kW) So far excellent. I wouldn't worry about involving solar and the...

Bought a cable from Cord Came next day Great value. Pretty hefty cable wrt old single phase one Checked it out. Yep. Got 10kW tick!

Yes and that's quite expensive just for a few more kW. The cable was intended for on the road charging. I have a tethered cable at home. The 7kW is fine. Overnight charging puts 35% back in. Which is great for our use. My current on the road cable is an old one - 5kW? So I was keen to replace...

Yep. You can get.... Simple single phase 3.6kW Ditto 7 kW Any more and you need a three phase cable. The wires are rated at 32A The beauty of three phase is you can send in one phase slightly after the other to the onboard charger without increasing the maximum current in any one wire. This is...

Yes. There's more than one type 2

Really? I didn't think MG supplied a cable? Mine didn't. On this question....which cable type? I have an old one I bought for my old plug in Prius, it only seems to allow 5kW. I'm looking to buy a new one. Can the IM5 take the 3 phase 11kW ones? The manual says 11kW? If it's type 2 to type 2 -...

The results of the last few months - efficiency Nov 4.1 Dec 4.0 Jan 3.9 Feb 3.8

Out on the road - still looking good.

Thanks. I was just after a more detailed answer. Like which screens will go off, does the heating air con go off etc.

Well. Not really - what does it switch off in eco or super eco. How much range...

I've had my IM5 for some months now but I haven't tried out the various drive modes. The manual is a bit sketchy. So, switching from Comfort - the default mode to Sport/Eco/Super eco does what exactly?
