Yeah, my maths were wrong lol, divided the wrong numbers, but it's over 50% increase for each of us Yep, as I tell my employer, they employed me for my looks not brains lol

Thanks so much for the information, Wow that's steep! My wife and I both have MG5s and in last year we both used £345 home charging (rarely use other chargers as all regional driving)... If my maths are right thats an 88% increase for each of us! Not sure If I understood you on taxing again...

Hi, I've got a first edition MG 5 2020 plate first registered in Feb 20 Been trying to make sense of the Road Tax changes and still not a clue what the Road Tax will be. Has any user yet got first hand experience?

The original 70 plate didn't have a LR or SR, just a standard 218mile range, the LR was added a year later I think

Reading this I have a sinking feeling... I have the original 70 plate MG5... Do I assume that even a software update won't work on this?

I have a 70 plate, the wife has a 72 plate and they never updated them and mine was out of date. I would never rely on them as they are also too sluggish. Just stick to Google maps on your phone, that way you get live traffic updates too

Unfortunately it did nothing to clear the problem, though now traction control and some other things are inactive. To make things worse, Drive MGs only diagnostic engineer went on sick, so pushed back ANOTHER week without the car. Seems on that a main dealer only trains one employee &...

Out of the blue (or red), a warning light came on my 70 plate MG5 stating Auto hold failure whilst driving. Didn't think any more as it didn't affect the drive until I slowed down below 5mph and then the handbrake initiated abruptly I was in rush hour traffic so the last 10 mins were horrendous...

Firstly, zap map won't really help you in Europe, I suggest chargemap Secondly, as someone pointed out on here, try the elecroverse app, had a quick look and it seems to work in europe

Hi I've just had a 4kw plus 5.2kw battery fitted last month costing £8k We've had 2 EVs for 5 years, doing about 12k miles between us. We were previously on Octopus Go Faster which gave 5hrs off peak (no longer available) which meant that we split 50/50 our 4400kw usage (we did car and...

Yes I know the principal which is why most divert excess power at the 95% level. At work we have laptops to work out of the office, but when in the office they are ugged into hubs that continue to charge... Its known it reduces the life of the battery for sure, but that's the set up

My wife bought a pre face lift MG5 LR in Dec (I own a 70 plate) When I set off I always flick the kers/mode to econ & k3, on mine it just says cannot do 3 on 100% (waited to 95%) and off I go. When I did this on my wife's it registered as 3! Took car into dealer and was with them for 2wks...

I think it was Genie that email me this week to say they are increasing to 98p kW!!!

Depending on the weather at moment its likely 204-214 for balance, don't discount if its 213!

I wouldn't worry about it, ive got a 70 plate and top up where I can in short bursts (2hrs here & there) but when I charge overnight I leave it to 100%. This happens around every 3 weeks when it's dropped to around 20%. I will keep the car for max 10yrs, after that it's not my problem. Anyone...
