Still get reduced power 35% and under. Starts at 98 and reduces by a percent for each percent of battery SoC drop.

Yes, when plugged in it will try and avoid using the battery to heat or cool the car.

Or by using the app.

Instavolt is expensive (even with Bonnet discounts) and I've never managed advertised speeds even in the ideal conditions. The more powerful Shell chargers and MFG have always given me over 140kw. But Instavolt I've never seen more than 80kw at the peak. I've even had more luck with BP Pulse...

I'm not the only person who uses this car in this household and I like to get back with the same state of charge in case my other half would like to take it out. Give it a rest mate.

I love cooking it's how I de-stress. And I buy and use a lot of fresh food. What else I am going to do? Sit at home even more? I already work from home. Driving is fine here - there's no traffic and the roads are nice. I don't see the problem. You're not going to 'solve' this - it's where I...

Yes. Next question.

Lincolnshire. It's miles to a supermarket and sometimes it's out of convenience. We don't all live in cities - why would I have a 430bhp car in a city?

Missing the point. I'm saying they should be 100kw for the use case of giving the car and quick top up when doing the weekly shop. I'm aware I'm not forced to use them - by why would I when I can charge at the same speed at home for less money? Seems pointless to have a massive out of town...

You need a loan for Instavolt - they're a total rip off. My car never charges fast enough at their chargers for it to be worth it either.

Doesn’t work for me because the substitutions they make are insane, and then I have to go to a different one to get it any way. I cook everything from scratch because it’s a hobby I use to de-stress after work so I order a lot of things that aren’t super common.

There aren’t any Tesla chargers near me that can serve non-Teslas.

Exactly - moronic.

In my experience MFG and Shell are the best for my car, followed by Ionity. They're the only ones where I get the speeds the car is capable of doing. All the rest are slow and/or dear. Shell big fellas are happy to sit at 140-ish for ages. Gridserve are pretty awful for the MG4 it seems -...

I'm not having a meal in a supermarket when doing my weekly shop, why would I eat in a supermarket cafe when it's worse than I can make at home for less money? It would just be nice to top the car up while it's out. I don't think I've been in a supermarket for more than 30 minutes in my life...

True but in my experience supermarkets just put 7kw chargers in and call it done. I'm never in there long enough for it to be worth it. Should be at least 100kw at supermarkets.

You can hear the relay click on and off on mine. On other cars I've had it's just stayed a set temperature - but the MG4 gots hot, turns off, and then turns on again when it's cooled a bit.

More expensive than the XPOWER on lease, so could be why. There was some banging lease deals on XPs before winter hit.

Yeah I'm not getting that. Granted it doesn't get as cold as -28ºC in the East Midlands.

Can’t really compare a 1800kg big hatchback to an under 800kg soft top though. Even with the smell of the exhaust. Horses for courses.
