    What do they do to my car?

    I've noticed that when I leave my car (MG Trophy FL) with others, I receive this warning notification on the MG app. Abnormal Alarm The Electric Park Brake System of your vehicle is abnormal, please check vehicle in time to ensure the safety. I never get this alert when I use the car myself...

    I used the Ionity charging site in Forstall Road, Maidstone, rapid CCS. I charged from 31% up to 75%. Village Hotel Maidstone | Castle View, Forstal Rd, ME14 3AQ, United Kingdom | EV Station

    Failure to start: HV battery shut off

    Thanks for all the messages about this problem, it happened to me yesterday. I had just charged my MG5 Trophy in Maidstone after already driving it about 40 miles, went to start the car after and it would only go into neutral and the warning came up. I tried starting everything again about 6...

    Tyre Pressure Help

    Thanks for your insights. I did notice the manual says to set the tyres at the correct pressure when it is cold so I'll do that, but it's nice to know that the app alarms weren't really bad. I also read on another thread that someone said to set pressure higher for better range so I am...

    Tyre Pressure Help

    Hi guys. I hope someone can give me some advice. I bought an MG5 Long Range Trophy FL in Nov 23 (72 plate) from a Wilson's dealership. The tyres were inflated to 2.1 bar. It had its first service in Nov 24. I don't drive great distances, I've only done 3k miles in just over a year. I did do...

    Carplay connection with Iphone

    I can vouch for this too. It was suggested on this forum so I bought one and have had no issues at all since.

    Curious unexpected SOC performance

    No, mine is a Myenergi Zappi. A calibration charge, as I understand it, is to run the battery to less than 10% then charge fully to 100% in one session. It is supposed to help ensure the SoC reading is accurate as it tells the car the limits of the battery. I don't do much mileage at all so only...

    Curious unexpected SOC performance

    Thanks! It seems to be reducing as expected since, but I'm intending to do a calibration charge next time anyway.

    Curious unexpected SOC performance

    Hi All As a relative newbie who bought my MG5 Trophy (72 plate) in November last year, I'm hoping to tap some of your great knowledge on something that baffled me on Monday. I had a house guest who I took to Heathrow Airport from Surrey. I had used my Intelligent Octopus charging regime to get...

    MG iSmart problems (merged)

    I note that the app is showing battery percentage again but still glitchy. I'm currently at 65% which shows 136 miles range on the home screen. Click through to the battery page and it shows the same and that it is in long-trip mode. But use the back button and it shows 84 miles range or...

    Another app update

    Encouraging that they are at least aware of it. I've had the exact same issue for a couple of weeks now, IIRC. Agree that it renders the app almost useless. Thanks for the info on this thread, guys. I guess now we just cross fingers and wait.

    Idiots guide to scheduled charging with a Myenergi Zappi

    This is great info, thank you all. I've had my MG5 Trophy for just 3 weeks (first time EV owner) and came here specifically looking for help as I tried to use the cheap Octopus Go window last night but it failed. My problem is that occasionally I get an error message on the Zappi and the app...

    MG iSmart problems (merged)

    Sorry if this is resurrecting a dead thread but I found this site and registered after finding the discussion via Google. I’ve just bought a Trophy (first time EV user) and love it but the remote options on the iSMART app are almost always not operational. I have no issues with mobile signal...
