    Hi all, The front tyres on my 2020 MG5 EV are coming to the end of their life. Any recommendations?

    Gridserve Rapid Charging Issue

    Hi All, I had my car serviced last week. As part of the service I mentioned about the Gridserve issue to see if there were any technical bulletins that might highlight a resolution to the Gridserve rapid charge problems that we have all been suffering. Chiswick MG (who were really good by...

    Gridserve Rapid Charging Issue

    All, I have been in DM contact with Gridserve. They are allegedly looking into it, but they need more data. As all of my driving at the moment can be done on one charge (at home) I haven't need of Gridserve. But please could I ask all of you who are using Gridserve to report issues directly...

    Gridserve Rapid Charging Issue

    Agree. I wrote to Gridserve asking why this was the case and received no reply. I however was not competing with another car. The double CCS chargers were useless to me. Only the Chademo worked...

    Gridserve Rapid Charging Issue

    I am now 22 months in to MG5EV ownership (standard range) and I have just come across a weird problem. On a recent trip to Scotland (motorway up and down) I had to use the blooming gridserve facilities (always a heart rending experience at 60+p per kWh). I encountered a consistent problem with...

    Space saver for MG5 EV Std Range

    Has anybody got a recommendation for a space saver tyre for a Feb 21 MG5EV. I had a puncture last night and frankly the inflator and gunk was useless. I don't want to be caught out again. Advice gratefully received. Thanks all, in advance.

    1100 mile road trip from London to County Down

    Second road trip of the summer, this time to visit my wife's family in Northern Ireland. This involved a drive from London to Cairnryan with a stop off in each direction half way (Preston on the way up and Kendal on the way back). MG5 fully loaded with all sorts of paraphernalia as usual...

    Footy trip From Southampton to Newcastle

    Glad you had a good trip. I have just completed another road trip which I will write up, but as usual, issues we encountered were around charging infrastructure. I came across a few dud ones on my recent trip. However, I also came across inconsiderate users. ICE driver using CCS parking spot...

    Cleanergy EV

    Thanks. That's what I found on the net too. Can't understand why I have been sent a card as I have never (knowingly) applied. They claim to have an app which has a generally poor review, other than from what seem like "plants". Seems like a potential scam...

    Cleanergy EV

    I recently received an rfid card from cleanergy ev through the post. I was a bit surprised as I don't have their app. I have been trying unsuccessfully to get an rfid card for charge your car. Has anybody got any knowledge of cleanergy. Are they related to CYC? Who are they, does the...

    2000 mile road trip

    Thanks for this. I was being excessively cautious because of the 4 rapid chargers I tried in Inverness none was working for CCS and the one I used needed a reboot. Not ideal when you have to catch a ferry... Glad to hear there are other options.

    2000 mile road trip

    Just completed a 2000 mile road trip. Was a bit nervous as I am an EV newbie and had never done any journeys that required me to charge away from home. The trip was from our home to Orkney and back with a stopover in Stirling and Edinburgh. The car performed very well with 2 adults, a lanky...

    Android auto...now working perfectly.

    Same with Honor10. Always hit and miss, but seems to improve if I open Android Auto on phone first... Hmmmm

    Notional vs usable

    Has anybody conducted a #Teslabjorn style test to figure out the usable vs notional capacity of the MG5EV battery? If so, what's the answer? Just curious. Thanks.

    London Congestion Zone

    Thanks. I paid my £10, but still had to send V5 etc. Annoying extra admin though.

    London Congestion Zone

    I recently went into central London in my MG5. Before going (unusually for me) I decided to check the rules on the congestion zone. I updated my account to reflect my new MG5 and was really surprised to find that I was required to pay the congestion charge for the car. Seems as if you have to...
