in my opinion cruising @65mph is a good speed for long journeys and you spend less time slowing down and speeding up again as you would at 70, makes a big difference as not accelerating as often as well as the wind resistance factor. The average speed for the journey and as such time taken will...

My Understanding is if you have a single phase cable and plugged into a 3 phase charger you would only draw from 1 phase so roughly a 3rd of the speed. Think it might also effect speed depending on rating of cable if you plug a 3phase cable into a single phase charger, that the speed could be...

Where did you find out about a data limit?

Standard range charge curve for 100kW+ charger, 50kW charger and 20kW charger:

How do we know the ohme isn't balancing? I don't have the pro but the older version Ohme. They seem very similar in how they work and assumed it was balancing. I select more charge than needed (i.e. 50% or more when I only need 40%) to fill to 100%, I'm presuming it charges to 100% and then...

Is it a 3 phase supply? if so might be a 11ish KW supply and just taking drawing 1 phase as most MG4 are single phase

It could also be you have bound it but haven't accepted terms and conditions on the car screen next tab down from binding one.

It was to me too, it says no balancing weights needed for profiles 65 and over, longer tyre life and if it gets rid of that vibration sounds good to me.

has anyone ever tried Balancing beads? They seem to work on the quick read up I've had online

Also do you have or considering getting solar panels? as some have features to work with solar better

Don't fret it, its recommended to charge to 100% include balancing at least once a month more if you want. In addition carry out a 3-6m 10% or under to 100% charge to help calibrate the BMS so it displays more accurately the remaining miles. If you did non of these things the car will be fine...

The Tesla guide explains it very well and I'm sure the same theory applies to our MG's, its not causing any damage to the cells if you don't do this 10-100%, its just so the BMS will report the range more accurately, which is useful as previous posts say the range suddenly drops from 20-8%, not...

Would be interesting to know, but I don't think it would be anything to worry about if you don't achieve it in one go, the car would surely make sure you know it needs doing if any negative affect.

Also what tariff are you on? If intelligent octopus just plug in as early as possible and request 100% charge by say 9am and if it decides needs to be charged out of normal overnight cheap hours I think all the units will be at cheap rate to achieve what supply you asked for

yes absolutely no issue at all doing that, charge to whatever % you like routinely and once a month do a full balance charge. Don't over think it, just do what suits your routine and pop in a balance now and then, the battery management in the car will look after the battery for you.
