Hi. I’ve had my MG5 short range for 1.5 years now. I’m a taxi driver and I charge my car at home to 100% most days. About once a week I have to use a rapid charge and usually only charge to 80-85% lwhenni do. I have done 45k and did my last service at 43k. The battery was at 99% at last...

Hi. I have an MG5 SR I don't usually use rapid chargers if I can avoid it, but recently I had to use them a fair bit over 3 days as I was traveling around and clocked up 700 miles in 3 days. Nearly all my charging was done with Rapid Chargers. When I got back and plugged it into my home wall...

The question was whether is was ok Charging to 100 % on 7 kW home charger. I think we all know it’s not a good idea to continually charge to 100% on rapid chargers, but don’t see the problem on a home 7kw charger. I do it every day.

Which tyres would anyone suggest for minimising road noise?

Should read Beaconsfield Services

What about going down M40 and using the Beacosfield Services. They have 6 IONITY units there, all 350kw.

Mostly motorway driving.

That is quite impressive. Are you sure you don’t have the wife pushing it around town for you?

I think what I’m finding is that after a load balance charge I can put it into Kers3 at 100%. But if I just do a charge to 100% without leaving it on to balance I get the same message as you when I try to put it in Kers3. At about 98% I can do it. So is it something to do with balancing the battery?

I thought the fan worked off the 12v battery?

Agreed

Les, found this very informative. I do runs the Heathrow every day and like you have tried out every setting there is to try. Without a doubt though the temperature is very high on the the list that affects your miles / kw. Early mornings (3am to 7am) I get 3.8 to 4.1 depending on settings...

I bought my MG5 Standard Range ex demo. I use it for Private hire taxi. My insurance company, Zego, increased the inurance by £1,000. Normal insurance was £2,090. Now, £3,000. No change in NCD or points. Im coming up for renewal but a bit pissed off with Zego so any suggestions I would be happy...

Oops. I’m knew to kw’s and miles. Used to litres and kilometres

Thanx Whichever first yeah? Do you get any alerts on the dash board?

I bought my MG5 exclusive 2nd hand when it had 8,000 on the clock. Bought it from an MG dealer and has just been serviced by them. When should I get it serviced again. Will a service message pop up?

Ok. I just wondered as I have noticed when travelling on motorways at 50 mph I get around 4.5 kw/m but travelling at 70 mph this comes down to about 3.6 kw/m.

What was you average speed on the 400 and 500 mile trips?

That’s actually quite impressive.

Also always have it in Economy mode with Kers 3
