I started talking to a lady at a charger today and she mentioned she's using Zoom EV and got 1 month free Osprey charging for signing up. I never heard of them. For me I don't see much benefit as I'm only interested in cheaper public charging but if you're new to EVs (like she is) maybe there's...

For me the roof bars are unnecessary and (I think) cause extra wind noise / drag at higher speeds. Anyone remove them?

I don't know if my google skills are letting me down but I can't find it in stock on ebay or any of the top google hits. Looking for the official one, not worth the effort for fakes (which is what I'm trying to replace 😒)

Anyone else find the MG5 slow to initiate a charge session? What ever the time limit on the app is the car always seems to go right up to the limit before the session actually starts - sometimes its 1.5 minutes. Is there anything I can do to get this going a bit quicker? Edit: The most common...

I start google maps, plug my phone into cable (official apple cable) and suddenly the maps are gone from the screen. Sometimes its fast, sometimes it lasts for 20 minutes - seems random. Usually the whole CarPlay button becomes unresponsive. Once the whole infotainment system seems to have...

I find the speed limit detection system works reasonably well in the UK but recently took the car to the Republic of Ireland and it consistantly refused to read the signs correctly. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I had already changed the "units" in the car to km so it wasn't that. Most...

Thinking about taking the MG5 to Ireland for a week's visit. I've seen a decent amount of chargers on Google maps. I'm wondering what the experience is like on the ground. Chargers work well? Do I need a few dozen apps just to start a charge?

I've just moved all the breakdown stuff from the old ICE car into the MG5. I'm wondering If there are any EV specific things I should be carrying / don't ever need again? I've got a pair of jumper cables and a jump starter battery pack (worked really well on the old car a few times) - are...

Mostly in and around the Cardiff area I see quite a few Teslas and one or two Leafs (Leaves?) but also much more variety from the other manufacturers. However I've only seen one MG5 (just once) and I see one EV ZS occasionally. Where are all the MGs? Decent range, decent price and one of the few...

Photo sparks fierce debate on electric car charging points I saw this story about the rage induced from someone parking their car on the pavement to reach the charger from their house to the car. There are a many many houses out there who do not have simple home charging solutions - surely this...

On the right side of the instrument pack is what I assume is a display for the 12v battery. What does the number mean? Why do I need to worry about this? Considering its prominent position I assume should I be keeping an eye on this? Does it recharge as we drive?

I see Tesla possibly opening their network up to other cars as well as not being particularly excited by needing 5 different charging apps. Does the MG5 have the ability to pass customer details over the charging cable like a Tesla if that feature ever makes it to other public chargers in the UK?

The car was 96% when I picked it up from the dealer. Since then I've done two short 7kW charges. Battery was down to approx 66% and we're doing a long drive soon so I took it to a 50kW charger (Osprey network) while I went shopping. The Osprey app said the session was complete and stopped the...

Hi I've had the car about a month and really enjoying every minute of driving it! Is there anyway to know if there are any software updates for the car? Today I went to naviextras to update the satnav but there was also another update available for the entertainment system which I also did...
