    MG5 owners only. Post on here what you think of the car.

    Had the car 6 months and just completed 6000 miles. It’s comfortable on both long journeys and the hop to the shop. It’s reliable. It is very cheap to run. It’s not the build quality I have had in the past, but I am OK with it. Just feels like it has a few wrinkles that will no doubt get ironed...

    "80% is Enough" on a Rapid Charge Campaign!!!

    I had an unexpected trip to York yesterday evening and the car was sitting on the drive with only 43% charge. So I called at my local InstsVolt rapid charger at teatime, before the trip, and within half an hour had increased the car's charge 83% (we have an MG5ev). That was enough to get me...

    Narrowboat

    We've been cruising the canal on a narrowboat for 2 weeks and just returned to the MG5, parked at the marina. We got in and set off for home and both commented - what a lovely car this is! Comfortable, quick, and faultless. That's all!

    High daily mileage

    Owned my MG5 since March and I’ve tried to stay cool about charging (4000 miles so far). Someone once said that you should treat your car like your mobile phone and I have taken that to heart. Unless I am doing a long journey (Notts to Cotswolds last Sunday) I keep the car between 20 - 65 some...

    Which wall charger?

    I went for Zappi because I have solar panels on my roof and on Eco+ setting can charge in the sunshine free. I am very pleased with their customer service. Occasionally, if I need a full tank, I charge on the timer overnight on the economy tariff which is incredibly cheap too. We went for the...

    What Apps do people use?

    When out and about I prefer the more reliable chargers - in my case this includes InstaVolt and BP Pulse. I have found ZapMap to be helpful in locating chargers, but it is not always up to date on whether they are working or not. Chargers out of service is the biggest frustration - there’s...

    Rapid charge advice needed

    I have been most impressed with Instavolt chargers - you simply swipe a contactless card and that's it - ready to charge. I have not found one yet with any issues. On the other hand, GeniePoint has been my most unreliable experience. I tried using one on the day I picked the car up from the...

    Eric Stead Sheffield - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    We ordered our MG5 from Eric Stead Sheffield in February and took delivery on 1 March 2021. I found the dealership very responsive and helpful and all the necessary paperwork was done by email. The staff are very friendly and know their cars well - lots of first hand experience paying off. It...

    Say Hello

    Hi. Good to join a forum for evs. We picked up our MG5ev at the beginning of March. It’s an odd time to be buying a car and many of the face-to-face handover routines done socially distancing! So, we have had to get the know the car the hard way, by trial and error. Nevertheless, we love it and...
