So the estimated finish time on iSMART takes balancing in to account also? Just wondering, as last week it said due to finish charging at 14:28 and it clicked off at 14:32 (Before you ask, I know the exact times as I keep a note of the charging times, speeds etc, so I can calculate how much...

I’ve had my Mk II LR since Sept, only ever charged it on 7Kw charger. I’ve charged to 100% about 5 times, been sub 25% a few times, resulting in low power warning, and it’s never balanced. Or if it has, it has only done it for <10mins, as the charge point has flicked to blue around the time...

I asked this same question a couple of month ago and was informed that it’s only rapid DC chargers that unbalance the battery cells. Therefore, if you only use your 7kWh (AC) charger (as I do) that the battery cells have not been unbalanced, and therefore no balancing is required. I’m sure...

HVAC is the ventilation/heating system. Having it completely off before starting your charge apparently help to show the estimate mileage as the advertised amount. However, I find not resetting the trip data etc and just leaving it as is results in the estimated mileage being closer to...

If you’re driving in Eco mode, it doesn’t keep the windscreen clear. It only blows warm/hot air when in Normal/Aport mode. Also, what N2STY said about air volume affects it too.

When you go to the HVAC screen, in the bottom right corner, does it says AUTO, an arrow bending back on itself within the image of the car, or an arrow going from outside the car image pointing in to the car? If it's bending back on itself within the car image, this means it's just...

Yes, when in NORMAL driving mode, even in all vents (all blue lines) is on, it keeps the screen clear, in my experience, However, when you first get in the car, you might need to use the windscreen demister button to clear it initially, but after that, the HVAC system keeps it clear, as long as...

I found this weekend that this only occurs when you’re driving in ECO mode, even with HVAC set to windscreen only. If you’re in NORMAL, auto (all vents) works perfectly fine.

If you have the car on Normal driving mode, just the auto setting of the blowers keeps it clear. If in ECO, it doesn’t clear the misting without having to put the windscreen demister on every 5mins.

I found this yesterday after having the car for over 2 months. Also, in ECO, I found the windscreen misted up quite often, so had to keep using the demister. I then called in to the shop, forgot to turn it in to ECO and notice the misting didn’t happen and heaters were blowing warm, after...

I only ever use AC 7kw charger, so maybe it did only take 10 minutes to balance then. I’ll have to keep a closer eye on it when I rebalance it again next month.

I charge my car at work, and we do not have an electricity meter. However, as I say, the charging point shut off 10 minutes after it was due to complete the 100% charge (light went blue as opposed to green when it's charging). Could it be that it only needed 10 minutes to balance the...

Mine isn't drawing any kw's. The charger clicked off about 10 minutes after the estimated charge ending time (according to the MG app). So, I'm not sure if it did the balancing in those 10 minutes. Seems strange that there's no "Equalisation Status Screen" either in the car or on the app. I...

OK, the 100% charge has finished and the charger has shut-off. Is there anyway iof knowing if the equalisation is happening? I've looked on the battery screen and it just says "Charging Complete". The charge finished 10 minutes later than estimated so could it really be that the equalisation...

Brilliant, thanks for the confirmation, Alb (y)

I've had my EV LR for 2 months and am just about to do the first equalisation. My question is, can you interrupt the equalisation? The reason I ask is because it currently estimates that charging to 100% will finish at 12:30pm, but I will need to stop the equalisation at 3pm. If it hasn't...

Yeah, it seems to recognise NSL on motorways as 60 too, rather than 70. It also quiet often misses speed signs too. Not sure why it can’t use the speed limit from the SatNav like it did on my previous Merc and Audi cars.

UPDATE: Delaying the Carlinkit 3.0 Mini to 30 seconds did the trick. By the time I’ve driven out of home/work WiFi range, it auto connects via CarPlay. It still takes another minute or so for CarPlay to pop up on the infotainment screen, which is a bit annoying when my commute is only 8...

It was only delivered yesterday so I might not have set it up completely correctly yet, but I’m having an issue with my iPhone 13 Pro Max not automatically connecting when I get in the car. I’ve read that it’s because my phone is still connected to work/home WiFi, and it shouldn’t be connected...

Great, thank you for the information and tips.
