I sold my MG HS PHEV in September and purchased a Ford Kuga PHEV. Total control over the EV side and none of the engine kicking in going down hill!!

Bought a brand new HS Exclusive PHEV in September 2021 but even though I've not had any major issues...I do have doubts about the quality of the components used and whether they would last over time. It's going to part exchanged in October/November for a Hyundai Tucson PHEV.

My does exactly the same. Really flawed system of I'm honest. Can't charge in cruise control or drops out of EV if driving manually and hit any decent length hill!!!!

Tried a little experiment today on my way home from work. I live in the South Wales Valleys so loads of steep hills etc. Done the route using the adaptive cruise control today and the car remained in EV mode all the way..even going down steep hills. If I do the same route with me in total...

Another things I've picked up on is the poor fuel economy on PHEVs when using the petrol. It's due to the size of the engine. The two most Economical are the RAV4 and Ford Kuga...both use 2.5 petrol engines. Hyundai is also bring out the Tuson with a 2.5 petrol for it's PHEV. PHEVs with smaller...

Unfortunately it don't work like that with the majority of PHEV's. I know the Toyota RAV4 PHEV has a different system and uses the air for out side to generate the heat without the need to use the engine...but then you talking a car which a silly money!!

Hyundai Tucson PHEV has a similar system If you put the heating on the ICE kicks in. Personally I can't wait for the day I get rid of my HS PHEV....and will be giving MG wide berth!!!

Checked mine and the cover activates the light.

Yesterday I done just over a mile before it dropped to 30 miles. In totally I done around 27 to 28 miles before battery dropped to 3% but maybe 20 to 22 of those miles were dual carriageway way doing 60 to 70 mph.

Mine started like that

Both lights were flashing on the granny charger which indicates it's fully charged and again showing 31 miles. Cars due for its first service in September so they can look then unless it drops further.

Tried that and still the same. Phoned dealer and they said leave it on charge for 24hrs to see if it corrects itself!!

Granny charger and always leave it around 81/2 hours

When I first had my car and fully charged it the battery range would show 32 miles...now when it's fully charged it shows 31 miles. I only done 2400 miles since I received the car.

I've had my HS Exclusive PHEV since September 2021 and covered just over 2000 miles and apart from the odd software bug which everyone has ...no issues. Car has been perfect. I do find the ride to soft and bouncy for my liking and did consider part exchanging it for the new Hyundai Tucson PHEV...

I always charge mine over too and have very little issues.

If the heating temperature set on car is higher than the outside then the engine will start. I have the heating off currently and use the heated seat instead and car will remain in EV mode. I also have to drive with one widow open a little to avoid misting. Not ideal but not sure if this issue...

That's no different to any device you using. Mobile phone, Router, Amazon or Google devices. We all monitored one way or another wether we like it or not.

Tapo and Kasa who sell these plugs are owned by TP-Link one of the biggest manufacturers in Home networking. I doubt very much there'd be interested in monitoring how often you charge you car lol.

I've used one of these since I had my car September 2021. Connects to wifi and controlled from your mobile. You can set timers and power plug on or off etc. Works perfectly. https://www.tapo.com/uk/product/smart-plug/tapo-p110/
