Should be compulsory viewing for all EV doomsayers!

I charged my car whilst surrounded by three separate thunder storms, with loads of lightening around…. Perfectly safe. As for rain, the whole system is waterproof and sealed when charging. I’ve charged in heavy rain perfectly safely without the need for any protective cover. May have been...

Can you not stop the charge from the MG4 charge screen?

I was reading earlier posts on this thread, and the inadvertant operation of the tailgate whilst exploring screens whikst stationery cropped up. What do I need to look out for to avoid accidental tailgate operation? I get that there's the dosie-doe foot operation externally, and am grateful...

Valid point when placed in the context of time. Good video!! However, on the motorway, 70 rather than 65 gets me past the lorries a little brisker, and I’m vaguely less likely to be cut up by other road users changing lanes aggressively. I agree it’s a small almost worthless difference...

This is very encouraging news…. I’ve just ordered a Troohy S5…. On the test drive, I felt that the S5 didn't leak miles at 70 the way my MG4 does. Which means I drive at 65 in the MG4 on motorways which has been no big deal, but even then I struggle to make a 230 mike round trip without a...

I’m quite certain that MG are aware of the negative equity issues, but I think it’s also an attempt to get the S5 out there on the roads. Relevant also is that the level of finance support from MG is only available for cars registered this month for the new ‘75 plate. And yes, I’m pleased with...

At the dealership today, I did ask about range and throttle response. Comfort mode…..throttle response is cut by 20% to reflect comfort driving. Normal mode has a better throttle response with no impact on range - same as Comfort mode. So it appears that the throttle alone is tailored -20% in...

Job done! Car ordered! Trophy in Picadilly Blue. Deal bettered the parameters I had set for myself, but in a nutshell, the dealership have negotiated with MG some extra funding to off-set the negative equity. I had two offers….a 0% finance with the vehicle priced at 32k or a 6.9% package with...

For those half way through the PCP contract and are (like pretty much everybody) in a severe state of negative equity, there are deals to be made. MG are realising that a lot of cars sold will have an inflated GFV which will cause significant issues for MG rather than the customer who simply...

99% certain that I!m putting a deposit down on a Trophy MGS5 this afternoon, after much deliberation and discussion with various dealerships! Ive test driven the S5 twice….my feeling is that the throttle response in Comfort mode was sluggish, but not that off- putting. Normal mode gave me a...
