Apparently they have a Australian only production line and being RHS, may be easier to transition to GB? If it comes sub 26/28K would be very competitive and doesn't look bad either, EV is the future so hard but not impossible to entice dealers?

Strangely released in Australia first rather than the normal for Chinese manufacturers Nordic countries, coming out at £24K GB

Better if we had a proper car manufacturers to have made it made in UK and have a max price ceiling as well

Anything over 30K and imho they will struggle to hit the same figure as gen 1, you will be competing with entry level Enyaq, Niro and possibly ID4. Those models could peel sales away as it's not the same bargain buy.

With then being built in China and wages generally lower, would have expected a more competitive price.

The pricing needs to be enticing, if it's nearer 35Kish, why would you go for this over the Marvel R?, At least in EU ATM

Oversight by MG as the Rowei was popular as taxi and this seems to be same in England

There's a few taxi drivers on the FB group and done some big miles 1pK+ IIRC and happy, probably even more now with the fuel chaos🤣

That package would help down here, would ease buying a EV.

Do you guys up north get the 2.5K EV grant as well?

If you don't mind sharing, how much per month and final buying price?

How hard would it be on rapids or any other charger to say if your plugged in after 50 minutes price per KWH goes up to something ridiculous to deter over stayers, if still plugged in after full charge this switched to a per minute plugged in charge? Would deter the inconsiderates.

I've got the ICE version and it's not a big issue. Drive a lot in London and never had issues. It could have been if there was no reversing camera, that's the only manoeuvre for me it comes up short. @OP, build wise / finish quality, I test drove a 5 and there is no difference. I would buy the...
