It's a Sigenergy 12.5 kW EVDC module which forms part of the Sigenergy stack. From the floor up there are 4 x 8 kWh battery modules (32 kWh), the EVDC unit and on top the 12 kW single phase energy controller/inverter. Being integrated in this manner had advantages/disadvantages. Works well for...

Recently added a bidirectional DC EV charge station to our home solar/battery system. Works well, really sucks down the excess solar nicely, been charging wife's car at 10-11 kW this afternoon. Have also tested the V2H for both our MG4 Essence 64 and my wife's MG ZSEV Excite. We had a grid...

November stats added.

Same here. The lack of option to quickly dismiss ELK is mildly annoying. It sounds to me like you got the same updates I did , i.e. not whatever the full update suite is but all the required safety system updates. Fortunately the ELK is much better behaved and so I just leave it now. It's...

My climate entity is: climate.xxxx_vehicle_climate With xxxx being my car's specific ID.

I'm using: https://github.com/SAIC-iSmart-API/saic-home-assistant-addon There is no sensor just for charging power - the car reports the power flowing to/from the battery. You could create a custom sensor which filters only for positive power and only when the car is at home. I measure power...

Yes. I've tried that, still too bright. Night time interior light pollution is pretty bad with this car. I think an added light bar may be the go for the headlight issue. Local auto electrician or DIY?

I still want the information, just not to be blinded by it. I live on a country road, forest. On our roads it constantly goes on and off on some sections. It makes seeing far more difficult than it need be. But the big dark spot it leaves is the worst.

I hate the headlights on my MG4. On our roads, if going around a right curve the road ahead is dark. And the never ending flipping on and off of the auto high beam. Exacerbated by the stupidly bright display screens, even when on their lowest brightness setting. I really dislike driving the...

I'm not sure ACC is suitable for use on such roads. Here it would mainly be our longer highways and city motorways. When you get this sort of sign...

Some of the data is a bit amusing. Not sure if they are just not being mapped correctly by the OBD software. Since I was parked in the garage I would expect motor torque to be zero. I don't pay much attention to it. Just posted for amusement.

Picked up my car from warranty items fix today - the under tray bulge fix and creaking driver's seat. They replaced the driver's seat back. It's much better now. Not perfect but way better. Also I plugged in the OBD reader for the first time in ages. SOH reading is showing 99%. Over two years...

Bummer.

Standard 6x4 trailers are well under 250 kg. Mine with the full cage and spare wheel is 238 kg. Leaves a bit over a quarter tonne for payload. May not sound like much but you can still pack a lot of stuff in boxes that is not heavy, just bulky. A dozen 20 kg boxes is still a fair chunk of stuff...

Just a throwaway suggestion, but is the forward camera / glass clear? Mine has deactivated occasionally usually due to weather causing the vision system to struggle. I'd imagine a well placed bug splat might do similar.
