Really? I can understand the need for pedestrians to be able to see EVs especially due lack of engine noise, but no rear lights for the drivers that seem to fail to see your vehicle in 'bright conditions'....

What brain dead moron wrote the legislation not to require rear lights at the same time as front, the front ones aren't as obviously needed as much as the rears, we're all (or should be) watching the the front, it's the rear we can't always be sure of...

Sorry NOT an Octopus Energy posting. I posted earlier about my 7kWh charger taking 6 Hours to charge from 18% to 100% (316 Miles). E-on Next(Sainsbury's Energy) are charging me 21.8p/kWh Inc VAT, so that makes it about £9.20. I hope my calculations are correct, 6 x 7 x £0.218 = £9.156. I...

Extremely sorry for this misleading statement, it was actually 15:00 - 21:00 not 18:00, definitely 6 Hours, still not bad from my point of view though.

Hello all, Texted the Salesman whom I purchased through, his reply was " If you're driving in Eco then there will be slight hesitation in setting off, it will feel laboured. However in Normal and Sport the hesitation won't feel as laboured. Please try this and let me know your thought"... As...

I'm with Sainsbury's Energy Fixed 2Yr till Oct23, apparently they are an extension of E-on Next. I rang Sainsbury's and they said they had NO EV tariffs, suggested I should try E-on Next, but haven't. The Granny charger was taking too long to fully charge up the MG5. So bought a 7kWh (32A)...

Good evening all, Might I ask a question on here, I've had my MG5 LR since 1st August22. In that time I've done 3280 miles and mainly drive with KERS3 and Eco mode activated. Sometimes when needing to jump into a gap in traffic say from an acceleration lane, I get a bit of hesitation from...

Found my 3pin 13 Amp energy display thingy, it shows Volts, Watts, Amps and kWh. Plugged in the Granny charger last night through the display, car HV battery was at 48%. Switched on at 18:00 and ran through the selections, V 240, W 2295 but forgot to check Amps but never mind. Checked the car...

In the short period of ownership, that has become second nature now, switching to Kers3 and Eco mode, even before driving off, or very soon after.

I believe the magnetic medium plate is attached with adhesive to the fabric of the roof lining, my plan was to add a few drops of superglue, or similar between that plate, and the magnet of the lamp base.

Thanks Ian for the insight, my car is on contract hire so I'll be looking at one of those USB rechargeable magnet lamps, as I don't want any excuse for excess payments in 4 years time.

I was hoping it is a magnetic usb rechargable one, I've looked on Ali-Express and fleabay, but not found one remotely looking like it.

Hi there Ian, that light looks great, would you let us know where we could obtain one from please.

Hi Les, thanks for the info, my MG5 is the LR Exclusive 61.1 kWh battery, I have had 2 100% charges at home on the 2.2kWh (Granny) showing over 300 miles, 1st 303, 2nd 313, also thanks for the heads-up on Mollie's, I've made a note on my phone, just updated my Sig to show actual vehicle, as...

As another first timer on this forum, I've posted a few times about various things, however I didn't ask at the time about the most economical way to drive an MG5 on a long journey, I've had an unnerving experience of nearly running out of Battery/Miles, ended up at home with a lot less than I...
