I've just seen in a Facebook group that CPS are changing their payment provider from Go Cardless to Stripe with effect from April 15th. So if you have a CPS account you will be unable to charge from the 15th onwards unless you have updated your details. Five days notice is not exactly ideal...

My MG4 journey comes to an end. My Red SE LR is sold and will be collected tomorrow. It was purchased as a cheap experiment into EV ownership and it has excelled at showing me that EV’s and the charging structure are now at a level where an EV makes sense especially for those that can charge...

Not to landfill that's for sure...

Last Tuesday I made my last visit to a petrol station. Eight months ago we were an all ICE family with a Mini and a BMW 320. We had a house that had solar panels but had decided we needed battery storage and decided that Octopus IOG was the cheapest way to charge the battery in winter but that...

Bad News first, Free charging in South Ayrshire with Charge Place Scotland (which is funded by the council) is coming to an end on 31st March 2024. The good news is that the charges from April 1st are quite reasonable at 31p/kWh for AC (up to 22kWh) and 37p for the DC 50kW chargers. These...

I’m not sure if the car has always done this or if it is a “new feature”. If I get in the car and drive off all the doors lock. If I stop and open the drivers door the rear doors remain locked from the outside. I seem to remember that they used to unlock with the drivers door but i could be...

I’ve not seen the output from wind farms this low for a long time.

Seen on X.

I went for a little drive yesterday from Ayr down to Monreith on the Galloway coast. I set off with 82% and ABRP was suggesting I would need a 15 minute charge on the way. While passing I dropped in at the 50kW CPS Charger at Turnberry to check it as it was dead last week. Well this week it...

I've noticed that ABRP can sometimes come up with a really illogical routing and I think this one will take some beating. I was planning a routing from Ayr to Shipley and it has come up with the route pictured below, It avoids taking a simple turn onto the A65 to the chargers in Kirby Lonsdale...

A question that occurred to me today.... Is the MG4 interior heating only electrical or is there any use of the battery/motor cooling systems to provide heat to the interior? Is there anyone here that works for MG or a dealership that can shed any light?

Tried to use The new Tesla chargers at Heartlands today. They are shown on their website as 'open to non Tesla cars' but I got there to find that the site is not listed in the Tesla app and the card readers have not been enabled so there is no way of starting a charge. I now see that Zapmap...

Proof that there is only aircon in the front of the car. First frost of the year last night. Also the first time I’ve tried the preheat in the app.

Turned into a parking space with full right lock today and left the car parked like that. When I got back in I got a "centre the steering" message and it would not give me the "ready" until I'd done so.

NB This is for the SE/LR in the UK. It may not work on other versions. I've been plagued with the LKA randomly switching itself back on while driving. Also frequently when initially getting in the car, when switching off the LKA there is no 'Confirm' prompt and it does not switch off...

Link copied from FB. Seems genuine at first glance...

Woken up at 07:05 by my alarm. Not the one on my phone but by the car. Nothing showing on the security cameras to suggest that anyone was anywhere near it. The only issue that I can see it the “find my car” iSMART thinks my car is in Brussels! It’s definitely in Scotland. Did get an email...

I was just looking out of the bedroom at the typical Scottish summer weather and glanced down at my MG4. I'd never noticed before that the windscreen is asymmetric. The camera is offset towards the left of the car with the camera angled within the housing. So what could be the...
