For fun I started looking at my driving records (own car only - not dodgy hire car at some distant land) - UK based only. I aim for my MG5 to win as many as possible (of my cars)! I'm doing: - furthest North= 59.0 Dounby Orkney @5teep furthest East = 1.83 Eurotunnel @EVsince2016 furthest...

I thought I'd share some information that I have learnt about auto-charge. Auto-charge is where you just plug in your car and the car communicates with the charger and charges with no other actions required. Most are probably aware that Tesla uses auto-charging as standard for their charging...

Today, Zap-Map went live in Europe. Not all countries, but many. France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, etc from the start with others to follow. Take a look!

Has anyone seen these videos of the Chinese EV Ponzi scam? - fields full of new abandoned EVs and the bikes!

I have tried turning on my battery heater on many occasions over time by going to the battery screen in the menu and clicking always on, but it always switches directly back to off. In the summer I guessed this was because it was too warm, but now at well below freezing it still doesn't switch...

Ok, I know the difference between V2G and V2L. You cannot connect a car with V2L to the house power supply because it cannot sych with the phase of the grid and an explosive outcome will result. Would it instead be possible to connect via a DC convertor to a solar DC invertor instead to power...

Does anyone know if the MG4 is available on the Affinity scheme?

These are some of the alleged pictures of the MG4. I asked at Fully Charged why it wasn't there and was told it was supposed to be but covid lockdowns in China had put it's unveiling & manufacture quite a bit. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mg/357426/new-2022-mg4-teased-electric-hatchback

Getting used to the car now but a couple of quirks have started. Yesterday the auto headlights didn't work, I had to turn them on manually, then on/off a few times before the auto headlights worked! Funny one. I had driven 5 miles and suddenly my drivers door opened!!!! I was alerted by bleeps...

Apparently, MG have already met their 2022 sales targets so have stopped selling / making petrol cars and will only sell EVs. They blame exceptional sales creating a delivery timescale of >1 year and the need to ensure EV credits...

OK, none of the various chats on here really answer this so given sunny day 1 since I bought the car I had a play on Zappi via Solar divert. 1 - Timed night charge: - plugged in during evening & locked - worked on solar all day then overnight - TBC second night plugged in 2 days, no solar -...

On 2 occasions now after a 4 hour overnight charge from ~30-~70% I have driven for around 10 miles before then SOC % changes. Everything else is otherwise working fine! Any ideas?

My MG5 was delivered to the UK on 3rd November and it was booked to be delivered to my dealer on 20th November, but it was missing on the delivery. It seems that MG Vehicle Operations have lost it and one other. The dealer, other buyer and I are getting just silly respo0nses! Any ideas?

Having driven cars with gears and a clutch, which in early days had crash boxes at least on lower gears my left foot must have got bored moving to an EV in 2016. I have realised that I now use my right foot for the power and left foot for the brake, especially in traffic or on narrow lanes. I...

In August I drove my EV to Portugal and thought I'd share what I learnt. Portugal In Portugal there is a law that mandates that ALL public chargers must allow any approved App/RFID to operate them, so all chargers basically work on just one app / RFID card. When I went to sign up I found that...
