A lot of my journeys now take me to North Wales, especially Anglesey. From previous charges, SWARCO are by far the most reliable, fast (45kw+) and cost effective. To date, I've always used either contactless or the SWARCO app to start and pay for the charge. But what would happen if I couldn't...

Whilst looking for something else in the "download manuals" on the MG UK website (the section where you put your VIN no. in), I came across an update for the nav. Current version in the car is 2022Q1, the update is 2023Q1. For anyone who's done the update, was it worth it and did you notice any...

In the near future due too work, I'll have to start using the public charging network. Up to now, home charging has served me well and the ability to go to 100% with no time constraints. Now here's where my "range" question gets interesting, bear with me please. The FL 5 has a theoretical range...

About four times a year, we visit the wife's mother in rural west Wales and public chargers are sadly lacking. We have time to use the granny charger at MIL's but will need an extension lead to reach the car. Thinking of this extension lead, any thoughts...

Not that I'm looking to change my 12v battery for a while but reading many posts on here, made me think a bit. Coming from the marine and leisure (motorhomes and caravans) industries, we use "starter" batteries and leisure/domestic batteries. Both have different characteristics in how they...

Have only done one home charge with our 5 Trophy and seems we may have got a bit confused initially but somehow managed to get from 30% to 80%, so a result at least. On reflection, we think we started the charge via the Ohme screen on the charger (EVSE) but didn't think anything was happening...
