Mum's wheelchair (fairly basic model, large rear wheels, foot rests detatch, handles fold down) fits into my MG4 no problem. The parcel shelf has to be removed (quick and easy), but the seats do not need to be folded down. I put it wheels down and leant towards the front of the car. It does...

Well that sounds adventurous! However, the advice to find a venicle that already has the facility is probably more practical. Thanks for the suggestions. If you have any links to descrptions of self-conversions along these lines I would be interested.

It it though? Propelling the car might take ~10kW. I wonder what the heating takes. The whole point of my question arises from the realisation that the traction battery is so much better than a expensive 26kg 1.2kWh leisure battery. The traction battery is kind of free and won't give me a hernia.

I need about 800W, so I don't think the cigarette lighter is going to manage

I have a fourth, a real edge case I guess: I want to run a piece of mains powered analytical equipment as I drive. At the moment I have to lug a heavy leisure battery and a separate inverter; even then I don't get much analysis time. Being able to use some of the traction battery energy would be...

Am I the only one confused by the manual fragment: When using the vehicle on a daily basis, it is recommended to fully charge it at least once a week, which is conducive to the health maintenance of the high-voltage battery pack; ... and on the next page Where possible it is recommended that...

Ah, but no one has yet considered wind resistance. I too have wondered which is most efficient. As you descend, the speed picks up and you lose energy to air resistance at a rate proportional to the cube of the speed. Surely at some point it is better to put the potential energy into the...

I don't like the LKA although it is not too violent on my MG4 LR delivered last March. It is incapable of correctly interpreting the potholes on my drive to work and I turn it off at the start of every journey. A small thing: when turning it off while driving (at slow speed) I only recently...

This may be obvious, but for others reading who don't have their charger yet: When ours was installed it had a sense wire separate and parallel to the main current carrying cable. The sensor measures the total house consumption allowing the charge point to throttle back if the total consumption...

Sorry if this stating the obvious: I find a newish car (say the first year, but most intense at the start) desorbs plasticiser from all the polymers and glues used in its construction. These semi-volatiles condense on the inside of the windscreen making a vey thin "greasy" layer. In turn that...

I've had this issue a couple of times using DAB. The screen showed a change of station but the sound kept on merrily coming from the orginal station I had strated on. I could not even turn the radio off - the pause button on screen and steering wheel had no effect. I stopped briefly, got out of...

Quite so. I am having an explore. A very useful resource. However, I was wondering if there was someting more substantive than "opinions".

Got my MG4 SE LR around 4 weeks ago, fun to drive but unimpressed by user interface level of software. This is my first EV and first with computer driven screen (before old Fords 2007 and 2005). I have MPU SW169-29958-1100R16. Part of my irritation is the sense that they've pointlessly marred a...

I am still looking for sources of information for this new (to me) form of transport. Can you say where you got this from? Maybe I can find other useful stuff there.
