Just completed a 5 week 2,500 mile trip. Perth to Brighton. Then Dieppe to Venice area, back via Ijmuiden/Newcastle. Car was perfect on Autobahns, mountain passes etc. All charging went well, Ionity with subscription as little as €0.37 per kw. Full charge at hotels €6 to €16. Average 3.4 miles...

Yes, as the title suggests my trusty MG5 EV of three years is getting part exchanged for a mighty Kia EV9. As I've now retired we've decided to go down to one car, and it might as well be a large one! Really looking forward to getting it tomorrow as it is such an amazing vehicle to drive. A...

Connects to podpoint but cuts out after a short while, any advice please

Stopped at the new EVpoint rapid chargers at Uttoxeter Services (just off the A50). They are Tesla chargers and appear on the Tesla app as a lock and are listed as 'Private'. They are open to all cars. The lead is short, so you need to back up close with an MG4, and the plug needs a good tug to...

I'm thinking of taking my MG4 up to Scotland as I've had it over a year and only done 7.5K. I notice we seem to have a lot of Scottish members so was after some advice on where to go for nice driving and great scenery and also where to stay. I was thinking the NC500 but everyone seems to do that...

Well, I’ve been driving my Pre-FL LR MG5 for a month now. The 3 pin charger is working well and certainly keeps the battery at around 70% easily. I’ve driven nearly 700 miles without an issue. I did get the 70,000 mile service done at a cost of £230.00 which included the replacement of two rear...

Brighton area to Liverpool this morning via 2x Tesla Superchargers (Banbury & Stoke). Could have skipped the 2nd one and gone to a local Liverpool charger (Dobbies Speke was back-up plan) but bladder won the race. Anyway...so much cheaper than all other networks and very simple to use, plus...

ERO hadn't been used for a while (last Wednesday I think) so I thought I'd take him for a short spin this afternoon to help charge the 12V battery, and to take the HV battery below 10% so I could do a <10 to 100% and balance charge. So no destination in mind, just driving ... 50 miles later...

Can anyone suggest what went wrong here, and how to deal with it? l tried multiple public points, 7kW and CCS. No power got through but i got the message "connected not charging". At home, the granny-charger did connect & did charge. What data did not get through? & what can I try next? [ Edit...

Good evening to all. With used EVs now offering excellent value, I have decided to jump in and bought a 2021 MG5 LR. I’ve been driving it for a couple of days now and certainly enjoying the difference in an EV compared to my previous 3 Series. I am charging it using the 3 pin charger that...

Hi all. We've had a Charge Hub 11kW installed and oddly only getting 3kW when charging regardless of the battery % at the time and the temperature. The car is set to AC Current on the charge options, I'm assuming this means allow the max current available as the other options are 8A and 16A...

Try as I might, I can't find anything faulty.

Must admit did lose contact with the car, whilst away on holiday (even in UK winter) - but did find everything perfect (incl. HV charge) - many thanks (15k miles in = no issues ).

Do you have any idea with this

One of the days I was going home... just mix of freeway and non freeway roads. Suddenly I'm getting 12kWh/100km (5.2 mi/kWh). Surprised and decided to aim for the Gold... 10kWh/100km (6.2 mi/kWh)

It seems as if our first gen 1 mgzs with a 42.5 kWh battery was much more economical than our new gen 2 with a larger 50 kWh battery... even in winter I have never experienced such consumption figures with our gen 1... so we have now a slightly larger battery but less range ?. apparently the...

Driving up the M6 Toll last night in the dark/rain. Overtook a lorry and just as I pulled back into lane 1 saw something in the road but it was too late. Not sure exactly what it was but on dashcam footage it looks like a suitcase of some description. Damage doesnt look bad from the front but...

Drove my new ER from Norwich to Chester and back, starting with a full battery.215 miles each way,Used A roads, with only 40 miles or so of dual carriageway. Car had only 50 miles on the clock when I set out, so tried to drive conservatively at no more than 60mph. Set off at dusk each time, so...
