    APART from Zapmap....

    What apps does everyone consider essential to have installed? I've obviously got this forum app, Podpoint, Genie point, BP Pulse, Instavolt and Plugshare. I'm hoping to trim that lot down cos I really hope that these independent charging companies will get their s**t in a sock and HAVE...

    Can I limit charging to 80% and if so how?

    Can I limit charging to 80% and if so how? I have a MG5 LR exclusive. This is my second EV after a 40kw Leaf. There is much talk about charging regularly only up to 80%. I seldom do very long journeys so I could easily manage on this. I am with Octopus Go and my smart charger automatically...

    Electricity Meter of Low-voltage Battery - why do I need to know this?

    On the right side of the instrument pack is what I assume is a display for the 12v battery. What does the number mean? Why do I need to worry about this? Considering its prominent position I assume should I be keeping an eye on this? Does it recharge as we drive?

    ABRP quirks?

    Hi everyone. I have recently just completed my first long-ish journey in my MG5 using ABRP premium, and while the car performed wonderfully despite road blocks and flooding I experienced a few quirks/bugs with ABRP. The main issue was that periodically the map would jump to Stockholm (I was...

    Leaving the car for 18 days

    Next year I'm hoping to finally get away on holiday abroad. I've been looking at taxi costs v parking costs and factoring in extras like having time to drop off and pick up the dog from kennels, or not and paying extra day(s). The car has more than enough range to do the trip to the airport...

    Motorway Miles

    Hiya, I am strongly considering an MG5 LR for my commute. I have to ask if from your experiences is it possible? My commute is 130mile round trip on the motorway. Is this doable on a full charge??? Is driving at 70mph massively effecting the range? What percentage will I finish with?? How...

    Another question from a newbie

    Am I correct in saying that if I charge my EV5 LR using a public charging point, it’s irrelevant if the point charges at 7.4kw, 11kw or 22kw as the car is restricted to 6.6kw? As a new EV owner, this seems mad to me?? Is it therefore only rapid chargers that would charge faster?

    Plug in and Charge like Tesla - Possible with the MG5?

    I see Tesla possibly opening their network up to other cars as well as not being particularly excited by needing 5 different charging apps. Does the MG5 have the ability to pass customer details over the charging cable like a Tesla if that feature ever makes it to other public chargers in the UK?

    SATNAV .... alternative route options.

    As far as I know the SATNAV does not have live traffic information. But on that basis what triggers it to offer alternative routes whilst you are driving? As we all know instructions on it's use are somewhat limited in the manual and resorting to pressing buttons seems to generate all sorts of...
