V helpful to know, thanks :-) Thanks, good to know. I rarely do long journeys so don’t often need to grapple with public chargers, feel like every single one is different. Prob lots of user error in there.

Yes, today at Exeter services. Charging stopped at 96% (charger screen said ‘charging complete’ and then some sort of error message which I’ve forgotten on disconnecting). Car said ‘system fault’. Partner poked around and fiddled for a while, getting crosser and crosser. After a bit I...

Thanks :)

Good idea, thank you!

Thanks, will check out that search phrase :)

Thank you! VERY helpful.

I definitely didn't see a sign. I am aware of the 2-hour rule, but it completely went out of my head, I guess cos I was so anxious about the whole thing.

I think the first one... hands free connection without sound. Will test...

Hi, Newbie here, please be gentle! Got my MG5 LR Exclusive in March. Initially hands-free worked (iPhone SE 2020). After not very long, maybe a couple of weeks, it stopped coming thru speakers tho still connects to infotainment system eg navigation and podcasts are fine. Hoping someone here can...

Hi, Am due to drive from Cornwall to W Sussex this weekend in MG5 LR with son and dog. Quite nervous about getting the charging stop(s) right as in reliable charge points, somewhere decent to wait etc. Also have never used a public charger and a bit overwhelmed by the multitude of options, and...
