    Showcase your MG4 interior

    Looks nice. I ordered one that looks like the holder in the video i posted. Only less chrome to hopefully blend in. Fingers crossed. Fo you maybe have a link for that one? That is a nice touch for your kids How is the stability of AA for you? I stopped using it since it always worked long...

    Showcase your MG4 interior

    I have been getting a lot of suggested videos on YouTube about car interiors, an example would be a buch of these: So, i started wondering what has the comunity done so far to improve rhe look and feel of the MG4 interior. I would love to see some photos or short videos, as well as your story.

    Road tripping in the MG4

    Here's another thing i am wondering when it comes to road tripping in the MG4. Is there a way to calculate the optimal speed for a stretch of 1000km? I know Bjorn does 120km/h, but is that because of speed limits or is that a golden speed number? ABRP on the other hand asks for a consumption at...

    Road tripping in the MG4

    Last summer i was using Tesla DCSCs and about half the time i did get speeds close to 130kW, a few times 143kW as well. However, I just winged it. I am now trying to preplan better, hence me trying to learn from our community how to control the charge speeds best. That all hoping it can be done...

    Road tripping in the MG4

    Thanks, i pretty much watched all the MG4 videos til now. He starts his tests from a preheated garage at 20 °C or more with the battery also warmed up with industrial heaters. I don't have that option sadly, so i am asking here for your experience. I already got some replies with more than...

    Road tripping in the MG4

    So, i tried a lot of things to get a higher charge speed, but at the moment i seem to not be able. I read the posts around here and my battery is between 13 and 15 °C. Starting the preheating from the app with the car parked and locked, but not plugged in since i can't pkug in on my parking...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Am i the only one hoping the new feature of 'customizable and memorable custom MG Pilot' settings trickle down from the MG S5 to the MG4? Time: 6min50sec

    Road tripping in the MG4

    Attempt #3 at Ionity, no preheating. Apparently my idea of a warm battery was 'above 15°C' while i imagine it likes to be above 30°C. Here's a gif of the charging speed, again from 25%.

    Road tripping in the MG4

    Understood. Then my expectations on the charge curve are correct. From other comments it sounded that starting a charge at anything higher than 10% would not hit the max according to the charge curve. I will try Tesla and hit the penalty of them rarely being on the highways (rest areas).

    Road tripping in the MG4

    At the very least, i canceled my subscription with Ionity, i take it it is maybe a nice backup, but i should not expect the normal speeds from their chargers. I am curious as to why, but will try to re-test Tesla. Are the majority of Fastned chargers just a reskinned Kempower charger?

    Road tripping in the MG4

    Last year i used Tesla as much as possible and i did see well over 135kW speeds, highest ever was 143kW. However, all the charging curves point that if i start charging at ANY % between 5 and 40 i should get 144kW speeds. Let's even say 130kW. But so far i read 2 comments saying that is only if...

    Road tripping in the MG4

    I installed carscanner at 60% charge, since i remembered i have the obd2 with me and was running out of ideas as of why it was stuck at the same charge speed. Will try to track it the next time from start. And also try a Tesla charger. But what i take from this is i cannot have control over...

    Road tripping in the MG4

    The speeds i am getting are 60 to 70 kW as if i plugged in at 65%, even though i plugged in at 26% and 45%. Based on Fastned, at 26% i should be charging at well over 100kW.

    Road tripping in the MG4

    I watched that one, thanks. It is a model with a smaller battery pack but i think same chemistry so it should be comparable for charging speed. I will rewatch it to see if i missed something, but he did drive it with battery heating on all the time as well. Well, that was in another video from...
