    New and naive - some 'snagging' questions!

    Even though it's very good advice and Don McKenzie shouldn't block rapid chargers unnecessarily , it's not the answer. The MG4 will charge to 100% only on AC. Other cars like the Hyundai Ioniq do the same thing.

    Thankyou and Goodnight.

    the zoe isn't a bad car in itself. If you're fine with the 0 stars, then look out for these: My Zoe makes noises while turning the wheels slowly or while stationary, it makes a rubbing, cracking noise. It's the plastic shell of the strut bearings that make this noise, it isn't dangerous but it...

    Cancel MG4 Trophy and go for Megane E-Tech?

    Ok, here's a long one. Make from this post what you will, take it with a big grain of salt because I am in the end just a stranger on the internet. I've written this to present the standpoint of a situation where owning a Renault turns from uneventful to frustrating. Renaults were never...

    Upgrade led bulbs

    Not quite right Ian, the Trophy has reflectors, not projectors. I believe there are multiple LED units on the Trophy for the dipped beam due to the more intricate design which in turn make the lights brighter. The solution would be a retrofit the headlights from the Trophy, including the...

    MG4 tyres

    No. I read through your link and it's a tyre selling website, they want to make money and the language used is accordingly. TyreReviews on youtube does tyre tests and EV tyres are more efficient due to less thread depth. He doesn't recommend them because they are more expensive and wear out...

    Radar location.

    I get the same behaviour on my Zoe when the camera fogs up. It starts complaining that the fron camera has no visibility. Weirdly enough, I cannot turn on the main beams when it's happening, only the dipped beams...

    Question for the more serious modder's

    I also thought about the the rear wheels being tucked in issue, honestly I will be probably going with rims that make the car wider. ET is what we look for here in Germany to determine how much the wheel is going to be pushed outside. I believe a small change can make a big difference when it...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    because it may have been homologated before 2022. My Zoe still has no emergency call and I can turn off the pedestrian warning system even though it's a 2020 model year, afaik all cars after 2019 should have e-Call and always-on pedestrian alert. In it's papers it's still the same Zoe from 2013...

    How many MG4 owners are new to the world of EVs?

    When I get the car, I will! :) Currently I'll keep at 110-120kph with the Zoe because I want to have a speed reserve to overtake others safely. I'll drive fast in the winter in the first leg to heat up the battery, afterwards I'll resume to driving my normal speed. You certainly feel the range...

    How many MG4 owners are new to the world of EVs?

    I had a 2018 Zoe R90 41kWh and now I have a 2020 Zoe R135 52kWh. The MG4 will be my 3rd EV, my first car with RWD and my first car with over 200BHP. I think the 135BHP of the Zoe are quite ok, but on the german autobahn it's useful to have a bit more power and a bit higher top end. 145kph on...

    Love the car

    I had the option to pay 2000€ and get it in a few weeks or pay nothing and get it in 9 months. I opted for the latter option due to the fact that the lease on my Zoe runs out in September so I can have a buffer.

    Love the car

    I'm glad you're enjoying the car! I'm also looking forward to mine, but I still have to white till August for it to get here. Mine will be in Camden Grey and also Trophy (Andes Grey / Luxury in Germany). It's refreshing to see a positive post!

    MG4 : Best suggested plug-in sequence for granny charging.

    I mean, admin posted that this should not become a discussion about the term and the last page is only about this. I'm not from the UK so I don't get the implication of granny charging, if it's derogatory then I won't use it. But back to the topic: I find the procedure SD43 described in their...

    MG4 Should I get one? What’s the consensus from owners and those waiting?

    I have ordered a Luxury (Trophy) in November due for delivery in August 2023. My reasoning was that the car offered enough kit at a acceptable price. Indeed, it's got issues and it's far from perfect. But the things that matter to us are there and they're ok. I really liked the way the MG4...

    Over-the-air updates????

    Tesla built their cars as "software defined vehicles". Other manufacturers didn't and still don't because it requires lots of investment in software which they can't afford. Tesla was built around software, Elon said that Tesla is a software company that's manufacturing cars. And that's quite...

    Windscreen washers freezing up very easily

    Never had washers freeze up in neither of my EVs. I always put in anti-freeze which is good to -20 or -15. That they're freezing is a cheap product issue not a car issue.
