But see the thread about upgrades to use Tesla chargers.

I did my "standard" 15 mile round trip to the nearest town and back via the builders merchant, yesterday, and got over 5m/kWh without even trying. Normal mode and I only put KERS on 3 for the last 5 miles because there are a couple of useful bits of downhill bits. The downside was I put the...

I've seen a couple of videos, fairly recently, looking at EV depreciation rates and MGs didn't feature in the "top ten" IIRC.

More money than you are likely to save in the lifetime of the car.

Yes, I just had a look through the manual and can confirm there is no timer facility. You could always try the universal panacea of disconnecting the 12V battery for a minute and reconnecting. It cures all manner of ills. It certainly cleared the problem when my granny charger refused to play ball.

You'll need to get an IOG compatible charger as PFL cars can't use the MG app.

For a non-MG owner you certainly have a lot of opinions about them.

I also bought a dongle, recommended here, and had no luck with the battery SOH.

When the time come I intend to fit Hankooks, because of the low noise rating, as they don't seem to compromise on rolling resistance or wet grip. Let us know how they fare.

Tesla have dropped their membership price by £2.

Never tried a Supercharger, how expensive are they? Cheaper than nearly every other network. Depends on time of use, though. There are usually three price bands over the day. If you use them very regularly then it may be worth joining Tesla for the cheapest rates. If you just use a contactless...

Well, it prompted me to check my car and, sure enough, front doors drains taped but not the rears. No water in the doors, though, which is surprising, living in wet Wales.

I went for a 65 mile blat round the mountains, on Friday evening, to make room for the paid-to-use electricity on Agile yesterday, in sport mode and with enthusiasm and was mildly "disappointed" to still achieve over 3.5mi/kWh. Still, I earned over a quid filling it up again.

They're extracting the urine. Here's the Sheffield one: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202404028195254?sort=price-asc&twcs=true&make=MG&maximum-mileage=10000&minimum-mileage=5000&model=MG5&page=1&postcode=sy256bb&advertising-location=at_cars&fromsra

There a 72 plate with only about 6000 miles in Sheffield.

I was just watching a technical video on home batteries that may shed some light. When a battery, or stack of batteries, is charging, if just one cell reaches the maximum voltage cut-off value then charging will stop and the SOC will show as 100%, even though the SOC meter was showing, say, 94%...

Why get an EV to breathe somebody else's diesel fumes!

No, pre-FL.

As there were temporary traffic lights (presumably) in the road, could it have been the collision avoidance system applying the brakes?

I got 4.4m/kWh, today, on the 15 mile round trip to the shops. That was in sport mode, because I wanted to make space for the electricity I'll be paid to use, tomorrow. I regularly get over 4.5m/kWh in summer. Not much stop/go, round here, just mountains.
