    What's the effect on battery life of regularly charging to 100%

    I believe you could only have 7Kw charge with a dedicated charge point (not granny charger), so there shouldn't be a worry about overheating. But even if you use granny chargers (max around 3Kw), It all depends on the quality of your sockets.. I've driven a BEV for more than 6 years now and in...

    Petition MG about Driver Settings

    One easy compromise that I could think of is driver profile.. the car can revert back to default settings,but in a single window can turn on his or her profile and set everything the way the profile wanted. They can put a warning pop up saying that the profile disable LKA for example..

    MG4 Software updates

    I know that OBD has permanent 12V, but as you said, USB port shuts down with the car. The carlink is powered by the USB as it works as Apple Car Play.

    MG4 Software updates

    after almost a year driving, I think the MG4 do have OTA update but only for small things .. there are at least 2 changes that I notice after driving the car for almost a year : 1. when I first receive the SE SR, it still has the option to only charge for long battery live (so only up to 80%) ...

    Really stupid ABRP routings

    Ok.. fair point.. although I still don't see a better alternative at the moment.. Regarding the strange routing decision,you could report it and provide feedback. From ABRP FAQ driving section

    Really stupid ABRP routings

    Ok .. I think my point is that, everyone (you included if you are doing the planning manually), will make the same mistake, because you are basing your planning / decision based on a faulty information that were given by another party that you have no control of. last night my family and I went...

    Really stupid ABRP routings

    You can't really fault ABRP for that do you? I mean ABRP relies on the charger's owner to provide the correct information. That's why I set my preference to Ionity,Fastned and Tesla What function are you looking for?

    Really stupid ABRP routings

    I keep my ABRP subscription because I find it very useful. I won't argue that Gmaps navigation is better, but unless you already know which charging station you want to go or that you are very certain that the charging infra in your area is so good, I think you will need ABRP. I'm using ABRP...

    Really stupid ABRP routings

    ABRP relies on an open source map for traffic detection which not always so up to date. In mainland Europe, i find ABRP routing working really well. It will suggest some funny route if you set some preferences..

    What's the effect on battery life of regularly charging to 100%

    I found an article once.. 1. LFP battery is more stable and thus will have more charge cycle 2. LFP battery has a more stable voltage curve.. which add difficulty for the BMS to know how much battery left.. That's why Tesla and other manufacturers suggested to regularly LFP batt to 100%, so...

    MG4 - ABRP / OBD - Query

    I thought the same also at first, but now I just do it by reflex .. takes an extra few seconds .. although now I think my dongle came out of standby on its own ..

    MG4 - ABRP / OBD - Query

    If you want it to give back the most accurate planning,then it'll be better that you have ABRP active and connected to the dongle on your daily drive.it doesn't have to be doing navigation,just active,so that it can record your driving and learn your driving style..

    MG4 - ABRP / OBD - Query

    I can't say much about the stability,as I'm using android and my experience so far it has been stable enough to be use for long journey. Charger availability is quite ok,not 100% accurate because it also depends on how the charging network share the information. It does suggest route change...

    MG4 - ABRP / OBD - Query

    Sounds like an issue with the dongle.. ABRP only works with BLE dongle (so not the standard Bluetooth).. the advantages connecting it dongle is that you don't need to keep changing the base consumption when the weather change for example,it will just learn it from the car

    MG4 EV 51kWh Traffic Efficiency

    The regen could be because of custom country specific software.. knowing the temp and traffic pattern, MG might think that it's the best configuration.. Maybe check with other user from Jakarta? As for range,I'd say the AC is the cause..

    ABRP (A Better Route Planner) Range

    maybe for you .. but maybe for some other drivers that is more agressive ? in anyway, you can manually fine-tuned this by changing the "reference consumption" value .. but you will need to do this every now and then (as the weather change) .. I prefer to just invest on an OBD dongle and have...

    ABRP (A Better Route Planner) Range

    Since you it doesn't have the actual data (as you mentioned that you did not connect to OBD), ABRP will do the conservative option, which I think it's saver .. imagine ABRP saying that you can do a trip without the need to charge but in reality you need to charge and you were not plan for it ?
