Seems this is UK only. Though if you buy your MG in the EU it applies to the whole of the EU. Another Brexit win! I would like to pop over to France soon. Any advice on how you get cover over there?

Not convinced going electric makes sense if you can't home charge. You end up paying so much more and wondering whether you can plug in or not. Seems to me the biggest bar to wider ownership. Not that the government seem,seem to acknowledge it. Though if you can charge reliably at work that may...

Thanks! Mallorca in January is lovelyl

I was going to leave mine at Heathrow and chickened out at the thought of handing over the keys. Are car park people savvy with evs?

That's what I thought. The power bank jump starters do look useful though for other things too. Saw this on Amazon and I assume it could start the MG4 if the 12v was dead for some reason.

'Don't leave it with a full battery?' Sorry don't understand. Why? What level of battery is good? I'd normally leave it at the usual 80%. Yes - saw those power bank things. Sound a good idea.

I can't see the difference between that and just hitting lock when you leave it either. Was just puzzled the dealer mentioned it. I do make a point of checking what I've been told. Seems to me I just lock as usual even if it's not going to be used for a week or so. Guess I could leave it with...

I assume he meant this

What it says in the headline. I won't be using the MG4 for eight days or so. The dealer said in these circumstances you should do a complete power down. But I've learned to question everything I've heard. Normally I just hit park and leave it. Is a complete power down a good idea? I do know how...

Didn't say I wanted to do it - I don't. I was just checking the dealer advice which has been erroneous in other areas.

When I picked up my mg4 the dealer said you shouldn’t use rapid or ultra rapid for 100 per cent. Only slower such as home. I know the charge rate slows down from 80 to 100 but is there really any reason not to do that on something like Ionity 350?

Have to say she sounds quite snappy when she says 'Yes?!?' Perhaps because I've changed the startup message to 'Greetings master.' This thing is so much fun. My passenger this morning, a very picky retired top driving instructor, loved it.

Had a mouthy passenger so I said 'Hello Mg, activate passenger side ejector seat.' Long pause then she came back and said, 'Pardon?' 😂

Had mine ten days. Nicest car I’ve ever driven. Still getting used to the fact I need to adapt and learn some new skills. It is a complex piece of kit and I’m sure if I worked at it I could find something to gripe about. But can’t be bothered. So long as it’s comfy, reliable and a pleasure to...

Thanks. Thought it was there permanently. Doesn't bother me but OH is nervous about the concept of EVs. Bit of a ridiculous message really.

OH is concerned there's always a message 'please plug in the charge connector' on the infotaintment screen even when it's got plenty of charge. Is that how it's meant to be? Any way of turning it off? I guess it comes on if you set up for say 80% then fell below it. But seems a bit daft to start...

Sounds about right! Thanks so much.

Thinking about the journey ahead doesn't bother me at all. It won't take long and I think it's important I accept this isn't like a petrol vehicle where you hop in, head off and work out what you're doing on the road. That was a bad habit picked up over years. Happy to lose it. Seems to me...

I've seen people in the local village get in their car to go to the shops a quarter of a mile away. School traffic is a nightmare, mostly SUVs with one adult and one child inside. If I went back to living in London I'd never own a car. No point.

My plan is to ask myself what kind of journey I'm about to embark on before setting off then set up the car for the task. No big deal. Am puzzled why the LKA was kicking on when I set the adaptive cruise - don't think the two are supposed to be linked. But will keep exploring. It did seem to...
