    Hi folks, I'm thinking of making a video for our MG EVs YouTube channel where I ask the same (5-10) questions to a number of MG5 owners individually (using Zoom), and I edit the answers together in a talking heads type video. The idea being to inform potential MG5 owners why it's a good idea to...

    Use of Neutral setting

    Advice with auto ICE vehicle has been to engage Neutral when stopping for extended periods e.g. at traffic lights, to save wear on the drive system. Should we apply the same principal to EVs?

    Charging and at 82%, the app says it can’t charge a full battery....any ideas?

    So tomorrow I have a 150 mile round trip to work and back. I’ve put the car on charge this evening to have it ready for the morning. All being well I was hoping to do the whole trip without a top up. It’s stopped charging at 82% and the app says it can’t charge a full battery....any ideas? ?

    MG5 Spare wheel kit

    My dealer gave me the wrong spare wheel kit. They gave me the one for a MG GS/MG ZS EV. In resolving the issue I've learnt a few things. The space saver wheel is the same between the models (MG aftersales confirmed this) but it's the tool kit, polystyrene insert and the retention bolt that...

    Cruise Control with Speed Limiter. Not any more...

    It looks like MG have updated the MG5 spec on their website. The MG website now says "Cruise Control" instead of "Cruise Control with Speed Limiter". Is this another feature that's just for decoration? Most the dealers websites still say, "Cruise Control with Speed Limiter".

    I have had my MG5 for about a month now and started to investigate some of the facilities available. I have mastered some but cannot get the car to accept voice commands unless I plug my android phone in the appropriate socket. Is this the case or am I doing something wrong? Help would be...

    Hide your Granny!

    Just figured out a nice hiding spot for the granny charger under the boot floor, leaving the side netting for the EV charging cable. A very neat solution with no clanging noise from the granny. was going to get a spare tire kit, maybe I won’t now.
