Well that is good news. Good work for getting some traction on this. I imagine it's more of an issue in NZ, Aus and the UK where the MG and Tesla markets overlap more. Not sure if MG sell EVs in the USA for example. And given that Tesla is a US company I wonder what sort of priority this...

TL;DR - MG EVs probably don't handshake properly with Tesla AC wall chargers (gen 2 and gen 3), despite the chargers being set to allow all EVs. I may be able to provide some insight here, based on personal experience. Firstly, I think we are confusing the two types of Tesla chargers: The...

The Boot Buddy looks like it's made of shinny solid plastic sheets. I imagine these would be slippery for a dog when it jumping in and out of the boot. I came across these MG ZS Car Boot Liner and Bumper Flap online. They look pretty reasonable. They do have them for MG ZS but I can see...

Damn. Thanks for advice @Wychall . I guess I keep looking, Will feedback here if I find anything worthwhile.

Did they specifically say they had an MG5 EV 'template'? I'm keen to get one sooner rather than later as our dog is starting to leave hair in the boot, despite the cheap liner we currently have. I would hate to spend all that money only to find it wasn't a perfect fit.

I saw that too but wasn't sure how good it would be in terms of fit. I'm keen to see some feedback on one so keep us informed.

Do you mean somehow it defaults to KERS 3 on startup? How do you set this?

Thanks Tom for the useful information. We might go a try a CCS charge today to how it works. Marty

Tesla allow you to set the charge limit to what ever you want. There is a lower limit though. They recommend 80% to 90% for daily charging. If you are planning a long trip then you can do a 100% charge. Of course the first and last 20% charge at a much slower rate as is best practise for...

Yes I think you do. I went through the update procedure (install USB, get the MG to load the files, go to Naviextras etc). But this only updates the existing EU map. It does not allow me to select another map unless we pay $150 USD, which seems a bit much for a relatively clunky nav system...

We just took possession of a new MG5 EV Exclusive. We also have another EV, a Tesla Model S 90D. I'm reasonably impressed with the MG5. It doesn't compare to the Tesla in terms of features and tech but for the price (almost a third of the Tesla) it's a pretty good car. We have had the Tesla...
