    Upgrading from a 22 plate Trophy to a new 2026 Premium

    I haven’t tried fast charging yet. In fact tonight will be its first charge and that will be at home on a single phase 7 kW charger. My old Trophy was capable of 3 phase charging at 11 kw but 3 phase is not common in the UK. Here, the new Premium is single phase /7 kw.

    Hope you are happy with it. Had mine a couple of days and it’s a much better car than my Trophy.

    Upgrading from a 22 plate Trophy to a new 2026 Premium

    Insurance for the new MG4 Premium

    A head's up that as this is a brand new car it is not yet showing on all insurance databases. I was hitherto with AA insurance and they checked with their 11 brokers but non were able to cover my new MG4 Premium. I did get insurance via Uswitch / Admiral so apart from extra hassle it's not...

    Pavement channels for charging cables

    Picking up on some of the points above : No the fee will not give you the right to park in front of your house. And in London there’s no neighbourly agreement to only park in front of your house - it’s a free for all. I can foresee a lot of anxious curtain twitching if the spot is full - is it...

    First MOT, major fail, both front suspension bushes

    Your £50 or so for the MOT was money well spent. Spotted a potentially dangerous defect in time for it to be fixed free of charge under warranty

    New 2026 MG4 EV and MG4 EV Urban

    I think it’s both hardware and software. If I press an icon when travelling at 65 mph I expect it to work first time. Sadly the alternative of using voice control is very flaky too.
