Wonder if its dealer dependent, as we also got a type two charge cable as well as the granny which was unusual I understand.

Yes, Jack, gunk and compressor. But you can get a spare wheel kit that also drops into that space. When the Lincoln MG dealer (as well as the Renault) got kicked out by the landlord they had a sale and we picked one up cheap so now have a spare wheel.

On a dark wet night I have definitely seen the brake lights come on in rear view mirror. I think the regen was on level 3 but this was our FL MG5.

Would charging be a business expense, vat reclaimable, plus many of there customers allow them a quick charge up while servicing there vehicles on the drive.

Had to go though a fairly deep and unexpected flood last autumn in our MG5 Face Lift. Was worried but had no issues. 12V battery issues seem to be common on a lot of EV's wonder if it was just a weird coincidence.

If you’re on a motorcycle in the rain with a wet visor then brake lights are very dazzling when waiting behind a car. Does not bother me too much in the car. But I use the hand brake at traffic lights.

Well we were told four weeks and it was six, plus a weeks delay as their ceramic coating guy was off ill, but now a proud owner of a new face lift mg5. No idea how it drives, the wife has been hogging it and loving it.

Battery density is improving, the first gen Renault Zoe was 22 kWh battery pack, the gen2 which we have, has the same physical sized pack but is 40 kWh, the gen3 model is about 50 kWh; so the first model was released in 2012, and since then and now battery capacity has more then doubled...

Radio packing up occasionally happens still on our 4 year old Renault Zoe. The info/entertainment systems in modern cars are too temperamental. Shutdown down the car and starting it back up generally was the only way to get it back. We hope to take delivery of our MG in the next few weeks...

I have solar so got a Zappi to go with the Renault Zoe we currently have. If you have solar, battery storage, and or intelligent immersion heater it makes sense. We charge our Zoe for free in the summer because of the Zappi.

Placed an order on Saturday for MG5 facelift, was told about 4 weeks. Be great to have it as a Christmas present. Would be surprised if it slipped to new year with the holidays.
