Does anyone know of a dealer near Birmingham who will do the upgrade free of charge when servicing the car? My dealer, in Redditch, wants to charge me and I'd like to be able to say "OK, I'll take to so and so down the road then"

There's one at a hotel in Hampshire that I used to charge my previous car, an Ioniq, but my 2022 MG5 LR can't get it to start. I saw other cars using it as well, non Teslas.

It also affects the slow destination chargers, many of which are free to use. Very annoying!

Exactly the same for me

5 days in Wales with an average speed of 34mph - you'll be in trouble! 😀

I always pick 3 chargers on the route at a point where I am at about 25% battery, and then if the first one is busy or broken then I move to the second and so on. I try to pick sites with multiple chargers and take contact less cards.

There's a hotel in Hampshire with a Tesla slow charger which is open to all cars. I used to charge my Ioniq for free whenever we stayed there. Very disappointed, but not surprised, that my MG5 LR wouldn't charge. It knew it was connected but refused to charge despite me trying all sorts of...

Or if you have a 7kw charger at home but forget to charge up the night before you're going on holiday😭

Where is this, just in case it ever gets sorted?

FL is the new face-lift model being sold now, the one without the grille on the front.

I just plugged mine into one of the USB ports under the radio and it works fine.

Good news. I've just had an email from Octopus to say their Go tariff is dropping to 9.5p per kwh on Friday

I had a similar issue with my previous Hyundai Ioniq. You probably just need to give the 12v battery a good charge to get it back up to full voltage.

The seat covers - do they look like they would be cool to the touch in hot weather? My MG5 has black seats that get hot and sweaty in the summer.

Osprey are currently charging £1 per KWh, even at non-motorway locations
