I get around 275 miles with my Long Range MG4Trophy, setting my car in Eco mode, but setting the speed at 55mph on the motorway. Traveling around 230mile to my destination, it takes me about an extra 20-25min rather than traveling at 70mph. I find it rather relaxing and feels much safer. If your...

My MG4 Trophy passenger door handle stopped working, i.e you couldn’t open it when locked with the key in your pocket by pulling on the door handle. My dealer took 1 week to order a new one and and correctly paint match it, before refitting. All working fine now. Great service.

I drive to Plymouth from Shropshire in MG4 Trophy, I would highly recommend stopping off at Exeter services which has over 20 charges. Which I think is around 170 miles for you.

I too had 2 months of hassle trying to connect, but after upgrading my Wallbox connected with no issue.

A word of warning something I have learnt since signing up to Intelligent Go. If you have home solar Batteries as I have and plug your car in for charging using the OCPP it will drain your batteries and also take grid power, so if your charging the car, switch off the batteries. However, I tend...

I too had the same issue for a month. I eventually updated my Wallbox and the requested another email from Octopus to connect, this time the password was different and it all worked. However, I have solar & batteries and tend to charge my car through these, Octopus have told me if I don’t...

I am using octopus Intelligent, but it has taking me many weeks complaining, but eventually connected. I wont be using their OCPP, I’m just using the 6 hours 7p per kwh, controlling when I charge. I have solar panels so often charge for free, something you can’t do using Octopus OCPP. Sorry yes...

I had the same issue in Devon this week, but no issues home in the West Midlands? Maybe the local signal has issues in Devon?

Thanks. I did everything you said you checked. I will just keep trying I guess.

Me too, waiting 7 days now for a response by email.

I too have signed up to Octopus Intelligent but my Wallbox & MG4 isn’t playing when I try to set it up as per the instructions. I wrote to them as recommended, still no reply, I don’t understand what the problem is as they say the Wallbox is compatible.

I was one of the first to get hold of the MG4 Trophy in Red last year and I am not disappointed, a great car to drive, great colour too.

Yes, its a real shame. I had the ID3 before my MG4 and it was so efficient and was one pedal too. The one disappointment I have with my MG4. Mind you software updates can changed all this.

Thats a real shame, I had one of the first MG4’s back in October and I have had no issues whats so ever. I did with my ID3 and didn’t get anywhere complianing even after writing to the motor ombudsman. I wish you luck.

My MG4 Trophy was with the dealer technicians for 4 weeks to upgrad the software. They had so many issue’s and couldn’t release the car because after the upgrade it was unsafe to drive. They did lend me a MG5 so not too bad. Car all sorted now and no issues at all. I did have a call yesterday...
