    Granny charger supplied with MG5

    I've got a couple of Creality 3d printers. Taken me about 20 hours work to design and then re-design etc until perfect. Takes just over 10 hours to 3d print each one. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/mg-granny-charger-wall-holder-mount-%C2%A310.2916/ 3D Printing time lapse video

    Granny charger supplied with MG5

    The ZS granny charger has "wings" and a handle, probably not that easy to see in that photo... It's a bit easier to see in this pic where the holder it is in is white.

    Granny charger supplied with MG5

    Could you guys with a 5 let me know what the granny charger that came with your cars looks like please. I'd like to know if they are all the same. I have a ZS and have designed a wall mount for the granny charger than comes with it, I'd like to design and make one for the 5. Attached is a...

    100% of what ?

    Assuming it’s the same as on the ZS, the obd2 data shows that there are 2 State Of Charge data items. 1 is based on the full nominal battery capacity (on ZS 44.5kwh), the 2nd is based on the usable battery capacity - this is the SOC that is shown to you.

    0%APR - ending soon?

    Is 0% finance available on a purchase under the affinity scheme? Just seen the affinity prices: https://www.baylismg.co.uk/new-car-offers/mg-affinityprogramme/

    Regeneration brake lights

    I think the flashing brake lights for heavy/emergency braking was also mentioned in the document I found, so it’s kinda an agreed/specified feature at X threshold for car manufacturers.

    Regeneration brake lights

    Teslas definitely do activate the brake light if the KERS/deceleration is at a certain threshold. In fact I've seen people saying that they even get a brake light shown on their dash screens in their Teslas, so you can know for definite that it is doing it!

    Regeneration brake lights

    I just found the link in some other thread, so I don't know if it is necessarily the legal requirement in the UK, the document made it sound like it was a United Nations agreement that should all should follow. Needs further investigation. Do we have confirmation that it is the same in the ZS?

    Regeneration brake lights

    I don't understand why they didn't either, it is a safety feature, but I understand it is also a legal requirement - if the rate of deceleration is greater than X the brake lights must come on..... https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/06/fo ... ng-ev-yet/

    Regeneration brake lights

    Yep that is what was said/discussed, no one did quite the exact test that this guy has done on the 5 though - attaching a buzzer to the brake light power. You'd think the 5 & ZS would have the same system.....

    Regeneration brake lights

    I try to maximise all the regen I can, seems crazy not to, so my general driving style is: When I want to come to a stop/slow down etc. At the appropriate time/distance before need to stop etc. I lift completely off the accelerator, let the regen do as much as it can for a few seconds and then...

    Regeneration brake lights

    There’s a much higher amount of deceleration caused by regen KERS compared to engine braking on an ICE car.

    Regeneration brake lights

    Wow just come across this, I usually only look in the zs forum. There was some discussion I remember and there was some text quoted from the legal requirements, it stated something like the brake lights must illuminate if the rate of speed decrease is over X amount. I’d have thought in regen 3...

    Family reaction to the new car

    Am I missing something here? By 2030 they'll be quite a few ~10year old EVs for sale, that will be worth peanuts, just like 10year old ICE cars are now. Surely given the costs to run an ICE vs an EV, very few people in 10 years time would opt to buy a £500 ICE car vs £500 EV car. I would...
