Looks like Instavolt have opened some new chargers at a holiday park just outside Conwy - a very good alternative to the temperamental PodPoint unit at Lidl

Just saw this

Well, after being delayed due to Covid, I got some software updates applied to my September 21 MG5LR. Not certain exactly what I got, nothing seemed different with the car so I tried a rapid charger which nearly always fails for me. Result? Fastest rates I’ve had from ChargePlace Scotland so...

I have no interest in, or affiliation with this deal but a friend pointed it out - so figured I'd post it here in case anyone was looking for an MG5 in silver. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/new-electric-car-mg-motor-uk-mg5-115kw-exclusive-ev-61kwh-5dr-auto-3940833

Anyone bought a windscreen reflective sun screen for the MG5? I've got an Exclusive and a touch concerned that the seats are gonna get a bit warm in the summer

Not EV related and possibly not something that everyone cares about, but just saw a lovely MGF on my favourite YouTube channel. Posting a it’s (very vaguely) brand related There was also a MG-X Power SVR 5.0 previously and a barn find MG Midget

Just saw a Twitter thread about EVs such as the Leaf, Mini (& maybe IONIQ 5) having option to select neutral so can be towed to a charge point. What happens to the MG when runs out of charge? Can it be towed and neutral selected or is it effectively stuck in Park?

ABRP is now working with the MG5 OBD connection - been providing some calibration details recently for the MG5LR as it was reporting the SOC from the OBD rather than the value showing on the dashboard. Looks fairly accurate now (occasionally reading 1% less than car display). They still need...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Cleevely have posted about a car they've serviced - even more impressive than the 5,000 miles they achieved from one of their converted MG5LRs in just 16 days - this taxi/private hire has done 16,000 in just 5 weeks Going to be worth keeping an eye on...

I visited Glasgow Fort today, just off the M8 near Glasgow (it’s not very imaginatively named!!) Anyway, there are the usually variety of retail stores, places to eat, a gym and a cinema. And out of the 2,500 car parking spaces there are four EV charging bays. And these aren’t your common or...

After this thread in the ZS forum, I’ve had the MG5 connectivity added to ABRP - but didn’t work for me this morning. Can anyone else with a Bluetooth adapter check theirs? My dongle is listed as supported but could still be the issue

Seems that people are being fined for using PodPoint chargers at Lidl if deemed not to be customers - including using units when store is closed

It’s been rumoured for a while - but pricing appears to be happening

Saw this review - some differences in the model shown compared to the UK spec - such as sunroof, passenger sun visor light, rear interior light and the much fabled sunglasses holder!!

This is the market sector I think will be fastest growing for EVs - the (hopefully) sub-£13k city car. Now, where’s the MG1 to compete?

saw this and thought battery degradation was interesting irrespective of the brand https://insideevs.com/news/548404/volkswagen-confirms-8percent-degradation-id3/amp/

Started from Glasgow with 100%, first stop being Southwaite Moto Services, about 100 miles. I’d heard on Zap-Map that 2nd unit was broken but no one there when I arrived so an easy charge. Took to 86% (27.954 kWh @ 30p/kWh => £8.39) and a Tesla driver appeared as I was leaving. Next stop was...

Just popped my MG5 on a free Podpoint 7kW at Tesco - activated via the app and all was good. Came back 30 minutes later and tried to release via app - but it didn’t say this was in use and didn’t see anyway to stop Anyway, called support and they suggested locking and unlocking the car between...
