    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    This is exactly the same question I can't get an answer for. Does anyone know if the MG5 SR pre-facelift can be updated to charge at Tesla?

    Ohme home pro charger & Pre FL MG5

    Actually in mixed minds about this....I don't think I have seen it in the manual, and give that my car (SR) has a 52.5 kWh battery with only 48 useable that ensures it doesn't reach totally full anyhow. I haven't really followed that fully and my battery according to OBD scanner is still at 100%...

    Ohme home pro charger & Pre FL MG5

    If you have the Ohme charger and are on Intelligent Octopus use the charger to schedule and not the car or the app. I assume you mean Intelligent Octopus. That works a treat, make sure you tell the charger what percentage you need to go into battery before you ply in using the Ohme app. Switch...

    Battery Cooling system

    I think MG is built to a budget, lol Now had Brighton MG confirm that the systems share same cooling system, in the case of battery and the cabin. The compressor circuit has an evaporator for air for the cabin and a chiller plate for the glycol battery coolant. The transmission coolant is air...

    Battery Cooling system

    My view is that the cabin heating is pretty basic and separate. a heated filament after or before the fan, because it clears the windscreen so quickly in winter and also the smell you get as it burns off when used for the first time in a while, just like that on an old electric filament home...

    Battery Cooling system

    I've contacted James Coates at Cleevely Electric Vehicles | Electrical Vehicles | Gloucestershire who confirms it is linked for cabin and batteries but not for transmission. It sort of explains why the EV aircon in the cabin struggles sometimes on hot days and high speed journeys as the...

    Battery Cooling system

    Found this from Siemens... Coolant is different to refrigerant....the coolant is the liquid that flows whilst the refrigerant is the gas in the compressor...so I'm not clear. In my previous car Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV it was a big deal if the compressor wasn't working due to lack of...

    Battery Cooling system

    Having a bit of a debate in another place about whether the same cooling system and hence refrigerant is shared between the battery, motors and passenger cabin? It was in my previous vehicle. Anyone know?

    Smell of burning and warm type 2 plug handle

    Couple of things, firstly if the car heating kicks in when you start the car and the heating hasn't been used for a time you will get the smell that is reminiscent of using an electric heater that's been stood a while. This is because the heating is just that an element that heats up and so the...

    Recovered to dealer - System fault.

    I would suggest this is a notifiable report to the DVLA, can't imagine what could happen at speed!! Vehicle recalls and faults

    Charging Rate using my Granny!

    To be honest I doubt if the rate will change noticeably.....it's a simple formula of voltage times current. The incoming will always be controlled by the home supply which can't vary unlike the rapids we use. The sweet spot for battery charging is around 23C and the bad spot is sub 0.

    How do we suggest updates and fixes to MG? 80% charging restriction!

    I think they have already worked that out, but it won't come until a new model arrives. I've seen that option is available in the new Long Range ZS EV and you can also do it with the app that it now has. At a guess when/if we get the new facelift MG5 it will be in that. But it needs the new...

    Balancing charge for MG5 SR

    So how do you tell that balancing is finished on ab MG5? You look at message on screen... If it says 100% finished, it's still balancing. When it says 100% connected,, not charging that's when it's finished balancing.

    Next batch of LR? (UK)

    Except that we make so little now that you'd have to import all the machinery and materials first, which has all the same problems. It's a mega mess, that has exposed the real global powerhouse of China.

    SATNAV .... alternative route options.

    Could be but I doubt you get that level of detail. It is somewhat similar to Tom Tom which used to get over the air traffic updates.... I wonder if its picking that up but who knows?
