    Driving Characteristics

    Haven't test driven yet so the answer to this isn't obvious to me :) When in Drive, does the car "creep" in the same way an automatic ICE car would or does it remain stationary unless you press the accelerator? If the latter is the case, does the drive motor hold the car stationary even if it is...

    First month

    Hi, I bought my first EV, an MG5 in red, on May 1st from Luscombe's of Leeds. I've been 'calibrating' / assessing 'real world' range to gain confidence. I've now done 850 miles total. My first 2 trips were both 60 mile motorway runs, full fat, everything on at 70mph. That left exactly 20% & 38...

    Affinity Scheme

    Had a chat with my local MG dealer today about the MG Affinity Scheme. This is still running at the moment and he confirmed that I would be eligible as a retired civil servant (wasn't sure about that so the clarification was welcome). The scheme discount brought the price of an Excite down to...

    Run Flat Tires

    Due to the cost of the MG5 spare wheel, I was wondering what people's thoughts would be of fitting run flat tyres as an alternative?

    Car stopped charging overnight

    So I have a wallbox plus. I schedule charge between 12.30am - 4.30am. So I never change the schedule, I just plug it in and it charges overnight on my cheap rate. A couple of times now it's only charged say 5kw when it should have done about 25kw as it was about 50% charged. Not a problem now...

    Steering Wheel Adjustment

    10 days into ownership of an MG EP EV here in Thailand. This is same as your MG5 in the UK. Absolutely loving my first BEV. Our version appears to be somewhere between your 2 trim levels. Pleather seats, full electronics suite but no (useless?) roof bars, only 2 airbags etc etc. I am quite...

    Gone and done it

    Just place my order for a Picadilly Blue MG5, should be picking it up at end of next week due to me ordering rear tints for glass from rear doors backwards and front parking sensors via the dealer, cannot wait. Had a leaf for a year but needed that little extra mileage. Roll on next week ?

    Rapid charge advice needed

    Hi, I'm going to have to top-up on a long(ish) distance journey this BH weekend. Other than "avoid Genie like the plague" - does anyone have any other advice / info? I've never used a motorway charging point before, I tend to charge slow on either the 3-pin plug or a 7kW charger in work. All...

    Have the MG5 on shortlist, but have a few questions

    Hi. I’ve put the MG5 facelift on my shortlist of potential EVs. I have some questions I could not find answers for. 1) What’s the ground clearance of the current UK MG5? 2) There’re rumors that the MG5 Electric 2021 for Europe is delayed, does anyone have any details on this? 3) Is the rear...

    Notional vs usable

    Has anybody conducted a #Teslabjorn style test to figure out the usable vs notional capacity of the MG5EV battery? If so, what's the answer? Just curious. Thanks.

    Charging port self locks when plugged in.

    I must say I like the way the charging port locks itself and the car starts charging, as soon as I plug in my home charger on the MG5. It's far simpler than my ZS where you have to actually lock the car to lock in the plug and start the charge.

    Looking to move to MG5 as first ev

    Hello, I'm looking at the mg5 ev after having diesels most of my driving life. I've currently got a 1.5 qashqai. My commute to work is 40 miles each way so I'm confident an mg5 would suite. No plugs at work but I'd just plug it in at home each night. My concern is when the car is full, 2 adults...
