Thank you both. I remember reading earlier in the year something about the 12v battery, is this still a thing?

Morning everyone, Moving over here from the MG4 forum as I'm picking up my S5 Trophy Long Range tomorrow. I've seen various issues noted and tried to create a list, but just wondered if anyone had a decent summary of what to check for during the handover? Thanks in advance.

First time I'd plugged it in since getting the MG4. It was the one I used to have in my Mk1 ZS EV. I'll probably just put it back in the drawer at home.

Hi everyone, Just a bit of a heads up. Plugged in the OBD2 sensor (Vgate iCar pro) this morning. Faffed around connecting it to an app, but then I got to work and locked the car. Got no further than 30ft away before the car alarm went off. Locked it, unlocked. Alarm stopped. Locked again...

At places like the White rose centre, where there are multiple chargers installed, they are on an array system which balances the load. There is never enough power for all cars plugged in to pull 32A. When I worked at Pod Point it was a recurring complaint from customers, not understanding the...

I've noticed this with Android Auto if I try to use voice command whilst moving. If the handbrake is on (such as at traffic lights) or I'm parked out works fine.

7th October, it was sent in a table within the email I got with an update. Included the VRM and the VIN.

Hi everyone. I ordered my MG4 Trophy Long Range Volcano Orange on 02/08/2022. I have been for a test drive and sorted out the finance, even been allocated a VIN and VRM. I was told the car would be at MG Chorley, Chorley for the beginning of November. I've spoken to them several times, and...

It shouldn't do that on a DC charger, AC it's quite common though.

During the handshake it may be worth holding on to the cable plug and making sure it is pushed all the way into the socket on the car until charging begins. The MG4 may have the same issue as some Polestars, ID3/ID4s because its charge port is so high on the side of the vehicle, the weight of...

I'm 28 with 7 years of driving, 6 years NCD no convictions - my quotes are currently £1450 a year. I did see somewhere on the forum that insurers are waiting for the 1st of November to fully support the MG4. Which having worked in insurance before, makes sense - as frustrating as it is.

Yeah, Pod Point Lidl chargers could help with this; they have tethered 22kW/43kW AC chargers on them

I would check the cable you're using. It will need to be a 32A three-phase cable, not just a 32A cable.

CCS chargers charge at DC, which goes directly into the battery which is DC. And receives the BMS percentage directly from the battery. Type 2 AC chargers connect to the converter/on board charger which converts the AC charge to DC and sends it to the battery. You can charge your car on a...

Just watch yourself on the price with them, though, as the prices have just been increased again for non-Teslas.
