Thailand still has EV grants, but they will end this year. MG have just announced a further temporary price reduction to compete with the newly released BYD Dolphin. I currently drive a MG HS PHEV but I am considering a 51kWh LFP base spec MG4 as a second EV. I will be powering both EVs and my...

I have just returned from the Bangkok Motor Show and by far the most popular vehicle was the MG Maxus 9. A 3-row MPV with 90 kWh battery, 540 km EV range This a product of the company Maxus, which is a subsidiary of SAIC Motor that also owns MG. It is known as the Maxus Mifa 9 in China. It will...

Last month wholesale rates for electricity in the UK were over £2,000 per MWh = £2 per kWh but feed-in rates were nowhere near that. With more homes having solar; home storage and EVs with V2L why do we need peaker plants or massive grid transmission line expansion. Here in Thailand I get zero...

MG 4 has arrived in Thailand not called SE and Trophy but D and X, but specs seem similar. Thailand introduced a government EV incentive about a year ago of ฿150,000/£3,678. Only available currently in standard range priced at £23,762 and £21,310. All colours cost the same. LFP batteries will...

A brand new 100% electric vehicle from MG has its European premiere set in Q4 this year. The vehicle measures 4.300 mm in length and is developed with the European consumer in mind. Take a sneak peek at this beauty and stay tuned..⚡ From the MG Motor Europe YouTube Channel

There is a page on the MG Thailand webpage posted in 30 NOV 2021 offering registrations for the MG Cyberster. This is pretty weird as the MG Cyberster is shown as a soft-top. Driving a soft-top in the tropics is a really crazy idea. My MG HS PHEV came with a sunroof as standard (they only sell...

I saw this week's podcast and the discussion about EV owners considering getting solar. For me it was the other way around. I got solar first and then tried to buy an EV. Here in Thailand MG includes an MG wall charger and installation with the purchase (would be pretty difficult to buy one...

V2L (Vehicle to Load ) is the most exciting thing about the new Marvel R for me. I expect that I will probably be alone in this so let me explain. Once you have an EV it makes a lot of sense to make your own fuel at home from Solar. I have solar and batteries, I make all my power for my car and...

My home energy monitoring system allows me to see how much energy is going into my MG.

Here in Thailand it’s just call “Roading” While “Roading” yesterday I managed to half tear off a plastic strip under the front of the car. Be warned the car is not designed for anything but the flattest of roads.
