    Happy with my range.

    The app doesn't work on my car. It sometimes connects when it's charging but doesn't when not, unless I'm within 30 feet of the car.

    MG4 EV only charging at 1.5kW on a Home Charger (Hypervolt)

    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.

    Charging Anxiety

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

    Charging Anxiety

    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.

    Charging Anxiety

    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...

    Charge port light white?

    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...

    Charge port light white?

    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 😭

    Charge port light white?

    Came back from a trip yesterday with 14% left. Went to charge the car but it refused to connect to my Podpoint charger. The charge port colour was white. When I plugged in it stayed white. I locked the car. 30 seconds later the white light went off. No lights at all. Unplugged. Unlock car...

    Happy with my range.

    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.

    Happy with my range.

    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...

    Who is best now?

    I'm on Next Drive Fixed v9. According to eon it is the only tariff available for my Podpoint Solo 3 charger. Paying 70p a day standing charge is a lot, a s I'm wondering if there are there better deals around. Octopus isn't compatible with my charger and they don't support my MG4. I'm paying...

    Cordless air compressor

    My MG4 only powers a tyre inflator (I tried several) for 5 seconds, then it stops working, even with a freshly charged 12v battery. This rechargeable one works for me. https://amzn.eu/d/40KIZKt

    Car won't charge

    Maybe I should mention that my 2022 Trophy is on its original software, its never been updated. Being serviced on 8th December (after a 2 month wait). I told them I want all available updates installed.

    Car won't charge

    Had this problem with my 2022 MG4 Trophy last night. It kept saying charger plugged in, check connection. This morning it connected quickly first time. Only issue is it will cost 29.71p per kw instead of 6.7p (Eon Next). When I first got the car in July it did the same thing. Bugden MG...
