Found it now. It was set at 50% for some reason. I only wanted to charge my phone, maybe 50 Wh or less than 0.1% of the car capacity!

Thanks, SoC is 30%, how do I find / change the limit? I can't find it in the manual

I am at a campsite trying to use the V2L cable. I tried it at home when a bought the car a few months ago and it was working fine. But now, when I use the button 'start discharging" the waiting timer twiddles for a few seconds and then I get a message 'discharge finished'. The car is in ready...

I tried 'Ready' as well as other modes. The battery percentage was showing on the dash. No modes appeared to turn on the heating.

Stopped today for 30 minutes while my other half went into Sainsbury's and I waited in the car. It was 6 degrees outside and I couldn't get the heater to work. Tried all controls - fan was running and temp control on max but only cold air. I even tried turning on the heating from the Android app...

Many of these screenshots show an analogue display of the speed etc. I just have weird graphic circles and a digital number. How do I switch to an analogue speed?

March looking good so far! 3 days, 3 return trips, total 88 miles, average speed 25mph, average temp 10C, averaged 4.7 miles/ kWh. Only managed 3.6 in December (my first month with the car). No data for Jan and Feb as I wasn't able to drive (hip op).

I've done a bit of reseach and it seems that an 11kW EVSE will only provide ~3.5 kW for a single-phase cable. Is that correct? If so I was ill-advised as to what cable to buy by the supplier.

The cable says '3G6 + 1 x 0.75' . It is a single-phase cable.

It was at 74% -

I just tried my new MG5 with a new type 2 cable at a public charging station for the first time (I've charged at home with teh granny cable without a problem). I'm going on a long trip at the weekend so wated to make sure it all worked. So I plugged into the 'Shell Recharge' point at my local...

Thanks, I have found the battery setting bar now, I must have done something different today. But I haven't got this to work, it still flashes after holding down 'OK'. And today it was worse; going from a 60 zone to a 70 zone the system didn't know and flashed the 'national limit' sign at me...

Sounds great. Going a bit off-topic but I'd be really interested to know about your inverter and its connections to the car.

I think I might just use Google directions with Android Auto. Speed limits on there seem pretty good, and many temporary limits are known about as well.

I've had my MG5 for 2 weeks now and have been charging it from the 'granny' charger. I could install a proper Type 2 charger but it's going to cost around £1000. I can charge the car to 50% overnight with the granny (it delivers 2.2 kW). 50% of charge per day (~100 miles) is more than enough for...
