Right on ????

I’m Australia we’re perfectly setup for renewable sources of energy. I get 4 cents a kilowatt•hour that I put into the grid. During late spring to early Autumn I get over a $1000 in credits very rarely using any energy from the grid. We had a National government for ten years that did...

I have a 15kW solar panel setup on my roof and 10kWh battery storage. To be completely honest it’s useless for 2 months of the year during June and July (southern winter). But I’m hoping next summer with the money I’ll get by putting in extra power into the grid will pay for all my energy...

Honestly I’m not sure. It’s was the cheapest electric car on the market worth buying in the 40k range (BYD did have one that was $100 cheaper but didn’t have half the extras like reverse camera, apple play and a bunch of other stuff). The MG4 model above mine was roughly 60k and does under...

Just took this photo this morning. I finished the charging on my wall mount, not trickle charge. Happy now ?? PS. It got down to 1°C while it was charging last night.

I don’t do social media. I had no idea I was “Spaming”. I thought I was just giving information to different individuals. I have never gone on threads. I just googled what was going on with my car and ended up on this site. Apologies on my behalf. And as a newbie I Accept your apology. ✌️??

This was an odd statement. Anyone would realise that was a really weird negative statement “siteguru”. I had an issue and got results. What’s with the negative response? I’m just suggesting I went to a MG service and what fixed what seems like a common problem. I’m not telling people a DIY fix...

You’re definitely right. My car is less than 6 months old. And I had the 1st month regular check….. all was well and updates were made. But in my case mistakes were made (and I have absolutely nothing to cite from other sources to back me up other than the proof I’ve provided) that there had...

Possibly related: this post (software updates solved my range issue).

PS when you book your car in make sure your cars first car going in to the service shop, and show them about these updates, also make sure you get a loan car. Because it’s going to take all day.

It wasn’t the battery and it also turns out it had nothing to do with the temperature. I just had it put in today and all sorted at MG service under warranty. Diagnosis : There was a bunch of modules that required software updates. I’m now getting 30km more on a full charge than when I first...

Thanks for your quick responses ?? I’ve only used a DC charger 3 times. I have a huge amount of solar and battery at my house and there isn’t a DC charger within 70km of my house. 95% of my trips are within 20km. I charge my car with an installed charger on the side of my house. When I charge it...

Not really. The right wing media over here is full of s$&t. Anti global warming and anything to do with it…. The two main arguments I hear is resale value and lies about distance that the cars make. If I worked in Melbourne I would’ve bought this car thinking it would make it there and back on...

The up take in EV’s in Australia has been very, very slow. I haven’t even seen another MG electric car. I’m hoping that will work in my favour…. They won’t want any negative coverage here in Australia. That’s why I can get in so quickly. We have to travel what Europeans call extremely long...

We have speed cameras everywhere here in Australia so I’ve very rarely do over a 100km/h. I’ve traveled in the UK and Europe and “belting it is far faster than I drive here in Australia (as a 150km/h wasn’t a rare experience over there ?). The temperature has dropped but on average only 10...
