    Antenna or something on new windscreen

    Hello, I have just received my MG5 EV LR but there's something that looks like an antenna or security tag, I'm not taking it off before I know what it is and the dealer never said a dickie, does anyone know what its for and if I can remove, see picture attached. Thank you Simon

    First trip Croydon to Hull

    I am not sure of the reason for the constant bad press electric cars get - my experience is good: Very pleased with my first long trip to Hull from Croydon, and back, in MG mk1 LR. 500 miles covered in total. Two rapid charges at Newark (Osprey) and Cambridge services (Ionity) - both very rapid...

    Final tax reminder???????

    I have today received a final reminder to tax my MG5, which was due on August 1st (albeit at zero cost). However, I did not receive an earlier reminder letter to say it was due, which I have always had in the past. My wife has also received a final demand for taxing her ICE car, having not had...

    Boot Locking

    I expect many owners will already know this but probably worth posting anyway for those who don't. If you open just the boot when the car is locked and shut it again it is locked automatically. However if you put the key into the boot (as I did in error) and shut the lid then after about a...

    The arguments for EVs over Hydrogen fuelled cars

    I came across this discussion about the use of hydrogen as part of the solution to achieving net zero. The discussion is based on hard facts delivered by a very eminent Professor (David Cebon of Cambridge University) and should be required viewing for all MPs and the media who frequently spout...

    Solar Powered MG

    I'm just coming up to my second year of ownership of an MG5 and had a wall charger for as long, but have only just started being able to use the charger in solar mode. In the past it would always draw from the grid rather from the solar panels, whenever I elected solar or solar + mode. After...

    MG5 LR Battery Cell Configuration 61.1Kwh

    Does anyone know what the series configuration of the mg5 is and how battery modules are in each pack? Also does the MG5 LR use LFP cells or NMC cells? I checked on my dad's 2022 LR and it shows 404v at 100% SOC which makes me think it uses typical 4.2v pouch cells with 96 series connections...

    MFG rapid chargers and MG5 pre facelift

    I am planning a trip to the Catford , Bromley area and wonder if any MG5 users have used the chargers at 360 Verdant Lane Catford. If so have they had any problems? Am I right in thinking I would not need to download any app as some are contactless?

    Does the Rear Seat Flatbed?

    A bonus when I switched from ZS EV(1st gen) to MG5 (FL) was I thought estate flexibilty. Today, preparing a run to the rubbish tip, I put the rear seats down. A little odd as they don't (ZS was the same) flatbed. Does yours? I assumed weight of rubbish will push down, but did'nt want to...
