    Changing EVSE

    It can do that, but the user interface is poorly designed IMHO. The daylight savings adjustment doesn't work (or rather it is always applied, which my tariff isn't) and the price cap is disabled whenever you make any change to the tariff. And not displayed on the same screen.

    Changing EVSE

    I have an Ohme Go that plugs into an old dumb charger. I'll just note that the Ohme is not very smart in my situation. It can't read anything from the MG (there's a list of car brands it does support) so is fairly dumb to start with. I have an E7 tariff so I just program it to charge during the...

    Reduced range after full charge on MG5 LR

    Sorry, I don't understand. HVAC? You mean the air-con? That just stays on; why would I turn it off? And I've no idea what a GOM is.

    Reduced range after full charge on MG5 LR

    Ah, well I'd rather have a more accurate guess than WLTP lies, but I'd like to understand the arithmetic it uses. 188/61 is well below the accumulated miles/kWh figure it shows.

    Reduced range after full charge on MG5 LR

    I charged my MG5 LR (new in March this year) last night using my 7 kW charger and was surprised this morning to see that the car says "100% 188 miles". That seems like a very large decrease in range from the 250 or so I expect. Does anybody know if there's some normal explanation or is this a...

    A few MG5 questions

    There's lots of things that revert to 'default' every time the car is started (or most times, at least, sometimes it seems random) but there's no way to change the 'default'. It would be so simple to provide a setting somewhere in the menus. Vary annoying! Poor design, IMHO.

    Changing from a Polestar 2 to a MG4

    Does that mean what I think it does? To set or unset autohold you have to go into the on-screen menus? If so, that seems like a backward step from my MG5. I frequently use the autohold button to set or unset it. It's very useful when you're driving in traffic and come to a halt at lights or...

    Where do you have the home wall charger located?

    My arrangement is pretty similar. I don't trust the holster to keep spiders etc out of the cable terminals, though. So I use the cover that came with the cable to keep them out and just drape it over the top of the holster.

    Smart charger or not?

    Where is the meter? If that's outside you may be able to add a small new box to split out a separately protected circuit for the charger somewhere near the meter. You'll want a good sparky.

    Speed Limit Sign Recognition

    No problem - thanks for the tip! It's another setting the car forgets when you turn it off sadly :(

    Speed Limit Sign Recognition

    That turns off the lane keeping, not the speed limit display?

    MG5 battery charge API

    From what little I know, I think that rapid DC chargers do have a different communications stream with the car, but that doesn't help communication with an AC home charger

    Speed Limit Sign Recognition

    I don't even know of a way to turn off the speed limit display. Are we talking about the same thing? It's a white circle just above and to the left of the digital speed display that contains the supposed current speed limit and flashes annoyingly if you're going above that limit.

    MG5 battery charge API

    MG5 battery charge API

    I've been told (by Ohme) and read on here that other charger manufacturers say the same that MG doesn't provide an API by which the charger can observe the state of charge of the battery. Is anybody aware of whether MG have any plans to provide such an API? And any knowledge of timescale or...

    Speed Limit Sign Recognition

    Is there any way to remove the speed limit display? It doesn't tell me anything I don't already know and it's often flashing, which is annoying - detracting from safety rather than adding to it. Also, is there any way to permanently turn off the lane-keeping warnings? I know how to do it every...

    How to reset the mileage trip on an MG5?

    You mean the analogue speed display? Yes, I know that but I want the digital display as I said. Sorry, which car icon? Where? How do I see it? How do I "Go to the accumulated totals page"? That's what I'm asking.

    How to reset the mileage trip on an MG5?

    I recently got an MG5 and I too am struggling with resetting the trip counter (and many other 'soft' menu controls as well :( ) I have read pp18-19 of the manual but it doesn't make any sense to me. Can anybody tell me what I need to do to reset the trip counter? I gather it needs a long press...
