    Charging MG5LR pre FL using CCS in France

    Firstly, zap map won't really help you in Europe, I suggest chargemap Secondly, as someone pointed out on here, try the elecroverse app, had a quick look and it seems to work in europe

    Kers 3 at 100% on MG5 (also missing DAB Radio)

    Yes I know the principal which is why most divert excess power at the 95% level. At work we have laptops to work out of the office, but when in the office they are ugged into hubs that continue to charge... Its known it reduces the life of the battery for sure, but that's the set up

    Kers 3 at 100% on MG5 (also missing DAB Radio)

    My wife bought a pre face lift MG5 LR in Dec (I own a 70 plate) When I set off I always flick the kers/mode to econ & k3, on mine it just says cannot do 3 on 100% (waited to 95%) and off I go. When I did this on my wife's it registered as 3! Took car into dealer and was with them for 2wks...

    How brave do you feel?

    Depending on the weather at moment its likely 204-214 for balance, don't discount if its 213!

    There's no way to charge a 2021 MG5 to 80%?

    I wouldn't worry about it, ive got a 70 plate and top up where I can in short bursts (2hrs here & there) but when I charge overnight I leave it to 100%. This happens around every 3 weeks when it's dropped to around 20%. I will keep the car for max 10yrs, after that it's not my problem. Anyone...

    My trip in a Tesla model 3

    Until Elon bought Twitter I would have jumped at buying a tesla (preceeding the necessary lotto win of course). But his twitter folly, I couldn't buy one knowing his views on his workers. That's my moral stand, however I do recognise the many strengths And weaknesses of Tesla's I understand...

    Octopus Intelligent

    Through a cock up by octopus I missed going on the last go faster tariff. All the other plans, including this (though I didn't even have the right charger!) were not great. I ended up on a econ 7 plan (forgot they were still around) My plan is to get solar panels this spring before this plan...

    Mg 5 issues

    The only 'legality' would come if you were involved in an accident and your insurance saw it & revoked your policy because it was a modification they erred not told about. Even if you did tell them they may say its not an authorised one if MG say its not designed for that...then you might be...

    tinted windows

    Hi On a side issue, you should check beforehand with your car insurer. Some (I'm with Privilege) class it as a modification & so charge a premium (£10-20 from memory). I declared it as its worth it so it doesn't invalidate the insurance but I do know some insurance DONT class it as a...

    Any home Pod Point users here?

    Good to hear your sorted, btw if you have a current model (not the one with the app) and you are on a EV tariff like octopus Go Faster, you can set the charger to work at the cheap rate times via podpoint app

    MG5 KERS 3 & Brake Light Operation - Safety Recall?

    I needed a software update on my phone/infotainment system & have taken it in twice yet MG Minstergate haven't been able to do it because of MG server issues. They say it's up then crashes so told me to hand on till they spoke to MG. Now I've received the recall letter so phoned them after only...

    My Miles/Kwh is not looking great!

    Hi Mines been doing that for ages, seen a lot of people post 5,6kwh etc but I've found that when I charge to full I get 214-18 mile range as standard. If I set the trip I can get the two to add up to the same as I travel. The range on the MG seems to be quite accurate too, especially compared to...

    Service plans

    Been using my Independent for my leaf for many years & they stamp and confirm its done to Nissan program & parts. I needed to make a claim under the extended warranty and although Nissan clucked at first they know under law its valid. The blank service book is very 20th Cen I know however...

    Type 1 to Type 2 Adaptor

    I also have a pod point charger as I had a Mk1 Leaf and my wife still does! I bought a connector from amazon for £78 and it does the job. As & when wife changes hers may look at converting but this will still do the trick As another pointer as there is no app for the current MG you can set via...

    Service plans

    I haven't got a service plan but I will pay the £111 for its first service just to get all the software updates (and the AA), will probably pay for the second one too but then switch back to my independent garage. I've bought a blank service record book from Amazon so get it stamped and that way...

    I get 3 or 3.2, I live in a flat City too. Granted I have roof bars on but when I add the miles done & the expected range together I am generally at a combined 214-218 miles so I dont loose sleep

    Have MG been naughty releasing MG5 LR just one year after they introduced MG5

    I hear what you say, anyone would be interested in the 250mile range for 'total peace of mind' but as another poster said the 214 range has not been an issue for me What DID peeve me was the fact that the roof bar issue has been fixed...I would have though MG could at least offer to go halves on...
