I got the figure of 80p an hour from my smart meter. As in how much is the smart meter saying I am using in pounds or pence with the car charging, and how much when I switch the charging off. The difference was where I got the 80p+ from. I tried it several times to be sure it was coming from...

Thank you for that. All the input I am getting from you all is making me more secure in using petrol only ..... at least until we get more sunshine up here in Scotland, and I can charge directly from my solar panels. Had a bill of £730 for electricity for December, and after eliminating...

Thanks for that. I appreciate the input, and yours puts my mind at ease even more about running on petrol. Isn't it ironic ? We buy these cars to be more environmentally responsible, then events take over that make it economically unviable to use them on electric. I thought about...

Thankyou My Man ! Appreciate that. I'll not be pushing the EV button too often now, not that it works very much at this time of year in Scotland, as the heating is on all the time !

Given the current price of electricity, the dropping price of petrol and the kind of driving I do, I reckon I would be better off driving on petrol than on electric. Searched the manual more than once and can't find any reference to doing that, or what happens when the electricity runs out...

Question: You say it is a brand new car, so why not take it back to where you bought it and let them sort it out. That will save you a lot of messing about with the car yourself that could invalidate your warranty ! 🙀

Switch is stuck.

That's my one complaint about my MG They are too damned complicated. They do everything for you except pull a pint, and some of the things they do ..... you don't want them to. Every new car I buy does more and more useless stuff Sometimes .... just sometimes .... I crave a car with no...

I'm old fashioned and speak English as a native language. "Loudness", to me, means how loud the sound is ! Americanisms and neologisms have taken over of late, and it is often referred to as "volume", although to a real English speaker, "volume" refers to the cubic capacity of a space. Of...

I bought mine from these people. 4 x interior and 1 for the boot area, for my HS EV Excellent quality and perfect fit https://www.prestigecarmatcompany.co.uk/product-category/mg-car-mats/mg-hs-car-mats

I bought my rubber mat set, 4 interior and 1 for the rear, from these people. https://www.prestigecarmatcompany.co.uk/product-category/mg-car-mats Excellent quality and a perfect fit.

Now bought an extra cable from my phone, and plugged it in to the car. Then went onto the Android thingy on the car's computer, and the phone's satnav then shows on the screen and talks. I'm using Google Maps and it works fine. Thanks for all the help from you guys. Still surprised the...

I have spent the last few hours trying to connect a memory stick to the car, while watching YouTube videos on the process. Not quite the same as the videos for other models, as the screen display is different on my year old HS Hybrid. I get as far as the car telling me it is trying to link to...

Thanks for that. Actually showing how it is done makes it look simpler than the techie explanations. I'll give it a go, but I may have one challenge. I saw that the supported platforms for the updates are all Windows. My computer is an Applemac ! They may support that now though. Will...

PS: I have Google Maps in my phone, which works perfectly, but willing to have a go at updating the car via Naviextras if the price is reasonable. Still teed off with the "It's none of our business" attitude at MG UK, and I'm still waiting for the techies at Parks to call me !!! I have...

Can you give me a link to one of the You Tube videos ?

PS: I now have satnav in my phone. It cost me nothing, and is always up to date. I'll be using that in future instead of MG's decrepit system.

Interesting ! I have looked in the sat nav manual that came with the car, and there is nothing in there about how to update it. So I got on to MG UK, and asked them. They told me to go and ask my dealer. Not a good response from a car manufacturer, and I told them so. So a run around the...

That's my mate Max The Mog.

I can see you are too much of a diplomat to say, "For heaven's sake ... Go and read the manual" 😉 Never even noticed there IS a manual for the navigation system, but I have it on my desk now. Thank you. 👍
