I plug in and immediately lock the car. Light goes green in less than 5 seconds. It took 5 months of faffing about and frustration to figure out the best method. My next car will be a Hyundai, sorry MG.

Old Podpoint app installed and working. Home charging is reliable again 😀

Changed to the new Pod Home app for my Podpoint charger. It is awful! Screwed everything up. Waiting to go back to the old reliable Podpoint app.

I have grown to like my MG4, great car to drive. Love the top down camera which makes difficult parking easy. My only worry is charging. I have a fear of turning up at a charger hub on low battery miles from home and being unable to charge. My last DC charging experience was stressful. 2...

Just one light - I was on 14%. At the 9th attempt I managed to charge during the day at peak rate. I suspect it may be the new Pod Home app causing scheduling issues. It is awful, worst piece of software I've seen in years. I asked to go back to the old super reliable Podpoint app, which...

They weren't last night when it didn't work. This morning I hit boost charge in the Podpoint app. The light went green on the 3td charging attempt. I'll leave it now to do its thing. Only issue is that it's 29.7p per KW rather than 6.7p 😭

Seems to me that MG's fall into two types. 1. Totally reliable, the majority. 2. Absolute mingers! The unlucky few. This forum has a disproportionate number of dissatisfied owners because you are more likely to post if something is wrong. As for my MG4, it hasn't missed a beat. Only...

You're right of course, 3½ not 4. I was never good at maths.

Did a 150 mile round trip on Friday. Mostly motorway, temperature 4 or 5 centigrade, heater on. I didn't go above 60mph. The car went from 95% to 14%, leaving me with 25 miles range. Did the same trip 2 weeks earlier, same temperature, but I did 70mph. I needed a top up to get home. I hhink...
