I don't post often, but thought I would just mention that there have been 3 phases of the MG5 in the UK so far: The original SR version with a 52kw battery (48.8 usable) this has NO electronic aids at all, other than cruise control, so no radar in the front (just under the grill) or camera at...

Don't post often, but I have an original MG5 (so standard range if you like) and happened to have a picture from the battery which gives more info.

Old Renault Zoe's used to use a type 2 43Kwh charger & I think this was the only car that could use them.

Close...but no cigar. This is again my wife's commute, plus a number of very short journeys over the weekend. Unfortunately I think the hot weather and more traffic has had a worse effect on town driving, so more air con needed to cool the batteries (less airflow from driving) and also cooling...

Sorry, an attempt at humor that 'backfired' (no backfiring on an EV forum!😊), but seriously I don't know how linear the percentage is; is 40% to 70% the same kWh as 70% to 100%? It seems pretty accurate, but without careful testing of what goes in and what comes out it would be hard to tell and...

Sorry might not be able to do it this week, (I know getting my excuses in early). We live in a ground floor flat and use the granny charger through a window, so can't always charge when we would like. Also my wife's a school teacher, so nearly at the end of term (thanks MG for the affinity...

Sorry no pic of the dashboard, but I've been keeping an eye on my wife's commute to work as it is always the same, 85miles a week so the only variables are the weather, use of heating A/C etc and traffic; town driving occasional 40mph, mostly 30mph. I charge once a week. This week was the...

I think I mentioned before my wife does an 85mile weekly commute of mainly town driving, in February she was using up to 50% a week when the windscreen needed deicing and this week managed the best yet of just 34% which roughly equates to 5miles/kWhr, but has been consistently around the 35-39%...

I use the granny charger once a week and the only times I had a problem was when I forgot to plug the 3pin into the socket first before plugging into the car, if I did this it would do what you describe and not charge. So I always plug the car in last to charge, plugging the 3pin into the...

Mine was showing 46% in the pictures, they said they would charge it before handover...picked it up with 50%...

Fiat Doblo Multijet Family 2005 (7 seater, diesel). Had it for nearly 14 years and hardly anything went wrong with it and only once failed to start because I had not changed the battery when I needed to. Would give great MPG even with 4 adults and 3 kids on a holiday in Devon. We didn't use...

Hi all, I meant to publish sooner, but I am not great at keeping up with forums so you have to forgive me if I am not on here very much, but I thought this might be helpful for those buying an MG 5 EV for the first time. Has anyone else noticed a messy 'gasket' between the wing mirror and...

Hi all, I've had my MG 5 since late February, (have been using this site to give me tips, but have only just registered). In a normal week my wife's commute is 85miles a week, mostly town driving. So far at worst, in February (with ice on the windscreen) this was using 50% of battery; so...

Yes it shows up on the dash like if a door is not quite closed properly, but I know I have driven off when one of the kids didn't close their door so I noticed that, but I can't remember if I have done the same with the boot.

This has happened occasionally to me; when I close the boot sometimes the boot would 'latch', but not be fully closed so that if I try pulling it open it will move just a little bit, but not actually open unless you press the button on the boot. In this 'latch' state it will not lock. For me...
