    Electric cars are computers on wheels (data leak)

    If folks are worried about them being tracked best leave your phone at home. Might even make driving safer for everyone.

    Has anyone (had satellite navigation badly direct)

    Reliability worry

    These forums are an excellent place to come and see what problems you might come across in a particular vehicle but just keep in mind most folks don't come here to sing the praises of their car. I used this and another forum to get a handle on potential issues before buying my MG4 Trophy and I...

    V2L not working.

    My MG4 states 2.3 kW 230 volts and that seems pretty accurate as when I tested it, it shut down pretty quickly once that was exceeded.

    V2L not working.

    I purchased a ready made cable and have used it a lot and have had no issues so long as you don't overload the cars max output, I did overload it once just to see what happens and obviously the car shut the output down and then after a few mins reset and turned it back on. This feature was one...

    Powering devices from the MG4 battery

    It just trips out if you try to pull to much then after a short delay trips back on, my home system is set to pull no more than 1500 watts so not an issue for me. It's a great feature and part of the reason I purchased the car.

    Powering devices from the MG4 battery

    I use the VTL to top my home up in winter when my solar falls a bit short works great as I live off grid.

    Vehicle to load

    I used the V2L on my MG 4 to backup my home over winter when we get the really dull over cast days and my solar doesn't produce enough energy. On a bad day I can pull about 15% out of the car but the car will not let you go below 20% of available energy so you can get to a change point. As for...

    Fastest Charging Speed You’ve Seen / Got?

    If the charger is capable I've had 140kw a few times but most chargers I use locally max out on average around 60kw so they could do with an upgrade.

    Missing Ismart functionality

    From my experience it does charge the 12 volt battery at the time it is discharging. I can stop my system from pulling any power remotely but the car stays in discharge mode, one day I forgot to go upto the car and switch it off and over night the battery dropped 1% ok not a big deal but as it...

    Missing Ismart functionality

    Hi all a couple of weeks ago I final got a discharge adapter for my MG4 Trophy and so can now connect my car to my home to help later in the year when my solar does not get so much sun. I park my car under the carport at the top of my garden and have to go upto the car every time I want to use...

    MG iSmart

    I live out in the countryside and when I park my MG4 under the carport I only have to be a foot different in position and Ismart cannot communicate with the car as obviously the car cannot connect to the network it is not the app or the phone, so just something to keep in mind it just might be...
