mg s5 ev

This latest issue with the software not working properly on the MG S5 is extremely worrying, why does a car need to be connected to a server to function properly. This makes me worry about control MG has over my vehicle without my consent or permission. This needs major discussion and prompt a...

Hi all, just joined the forum as i have taken delivery of new S5 this morning. Have been reading up on the forum while waiting on the car which has been very useful and helped prepare for it arriving. Got my MG Pilot set up straight away. Very happy with the car 👍🚙

Hi All Just out of interest tonight I decided to have a chat with Google Gemini AI about the MGS5. I thought this response about the NMC 64kWh battery was interesting and worth sharing. J...

Hi all, I've had my MG S5 EV for a week, has anyone tried sideloading apps onto the car? Just wanting to see if I can sideload a ln Android app on it for movie purposes :sneaky:

Hi, new owner of an MG S5 as of 2 weeks ago, Loving it so far, I do have an odd issue though that when I'm using the phone via Bluetooth or Android Auto sometimes the calls are sounding great, sometimes the caller sounds like a Darlek and sometimes the signal just cuts out altogether after a few...

I have just installed an auto-dimming rear view mirror in my S5. I wanted to offer advice and a warning to those accessing the passenger compartment fuse board. I have attached a PDF which are the MG technician instructions for accessing the fuses. It is really easy and just requires a little...

Hi I am no expert on EV technology, but having issues with the 12 volt battery on my MGS5. The car has little use so may not be used for a few days, and on two occasions the battery has been very low with the AA suggesting a long run of an hour to recharge it. The second time the battery was so...

As we get older, I expect my wife and I to drive less. And if we don't get banned, or consider one another too dangerous to continue, I wondered at what point it would no longer make financial sense to carry on buying & driving a car. So this analysis is both very simple & crude, but I thought...

Hi all, I want to buy a rubber/plastic boot mat for my new S5EV. Is there much size difference between the Upper mat and the Lower mat? I guess buying just a Lower mat is preferable and then using it as the Upper mat, that way if I choose to lower the boot insert it'll still fit. Seems pointless...

OK, to some of you wise old owls this post may appear as a little 'basic', and bits and pieces have been discussed recently elsewhere so I may be in threat of duplication, but can we please develop some sort some sort of a Public Charging Routine for newbies specific to the S5 and pin it...

Is there a way of downloading the S5 manual to the iSmart app as it doesn't show on the list of cars.

If you have not seen my earlier post on my charging plan, please do so first Long motorway round trip in MG S5EV – practical charging strategy & costs. This update is on the real world data based on my completed journey. Update after completing the trip – what worked and what didn’t I’ve now...

Hi ho merry christmas. Well walking up to the car the other night tripped on the curb. Fell face first and shoulder onto the front panel with a right wack. So once I'd wiped the blood away etc I hobbled back out of the house to inspect the S5. Joy of joy not a mark or dent. Three cheers for MG...

Sharing my approach to planning a long motorway journey in an my MGS5 Trophy, (Newcastle to Southampton and back), in case it helps others thinking about similar trips. Key assumption (important): Based on real use, I’m seeing about 160 miles at 80%, which means a realistic ~200 miles at 100%...

Hi guys. I'm the owner of a MG S5EV base in Australia. Have the car for about 3 weeks now and love it. I assume your car is very similar and particularly a right hand drive car. And your base is huge comparing to an Australia base discussion place. Hopefully you guys can help me solve the below...

Hi all... Great to know there is an MG EV forum, came across this by accident. I've just bought a New MG S5 EV Trophy addition and it is great! Only one problem being completely new you can not get any accessories like eg rubber mates any other things you would like as extras. I even had...
