    MG5 arriving at last.

    Due to pick up my blue MG5 Friday. Anyone else ‘at last’ being told their car is coming soon. For a while there I was beginning to think that it was not going to be supplied by the dealer. Insurance sorted, only a few quid per month more than my current diesel clubman. Roll on Friday.

    Non-MG Dealer Minor Repairs

    At the weekend I managed to hit a wooden fence when my brain was somewhere else - probably away with the fairies! I have managed to crack a couple of those plastic silver bars on the false grill of my MG5! I know if I go to my dealers they will want an arm and a leg to do any repair, probably...

    5 Long Range charging speed

    Put our car on a rapid charger today and the charge speed was much slower than expected. Took 51 minutes to put 25.5kWh in the battery which equates to just under 30kWh per hour. This was on a 120kWh Electric Highway charger at a motorway service station so I would have expected to get a charge...

    Demisting

    Hi, I'm having some challenges the last couple of mornings demisting and keeping the screen and side windows clear. Both mornings have been damp after overnight rain and whilst the demist button does seem to clear the windscreen quite quickly once it starts misting, if I turn it off it quickly...

    Electric Miles app

    Has anyone used the Electric Miles app? I've just downloaded it and can't see any benefits to the Project-EV app I had with my charger: Dear Project EV Customer, Thank you for your continued support as a Project EV customer. Energy costs are rising so to help you better manage your EV...

    France is Cheap - thanks to Granny Charger

    Hi all. Just a few observations on our recent - and very pleasant - trip to France. Our previous trip - which was our first - was for skiing in the French Alps - and it had some challenges - 3+ charges in one day meant a much longer journey.. This time we spend two weeks around Normandy, Loire...

    Bit of reassurance for the MG5

    I'm getting a 5 LR Exclusive next month as a company car. I'm really not looking forward to it as we were sold the EV dream on the VW id.3 (what I'd looked at for myself) but that got replaced a month later with the 5LR due to lead times (I personally would have waited). The effect inside the...

    Forecast ICE this winter

    Really pleased with my MG5, but as I think about the cost of living crisis I observe straight running costs ( not total cost of ownership) just the cost of putting energy in so I can go somewhere. Charging at home current capped tariffs, next month rise, and predictions of where it will go in...

    MG5 EV Mysterious Driving Noise

    Hi all, I’ve got an 8 month old MG5 EV SR that I’ve owned for just over a month. Never owned an MG before and never owned an EV. When driving, it makes an odd noise every 5 to 10mins (not regular). It sounds a bit like you’re driving over a rumble strip (quietly) for about a second and I can...

    Roof box range effect?

    Just coming back from a lovely camping trip to Cornwall and the joy of using the Moto Exeter charging stations...but after being very proud of my packing efficiency for the journey down there I'm afraid the same efficiency was somewhat lacking for the return journey. Now thinking I either leave...

    Ohme pro charger scheduled charging

    Hi all, I have finally got a ohme pro charger installed yesterday. Is it me or the vehicle or the charger that’s not clever enough to figure out how to limit the charging to 80%. The charger cannot seem to figure the state of charge of the battery always thinks it’s 0% and tries to charge to...

    Car off and charging, how to see % of charge?

    So my MG5 is charging and it's off and unlocked. Someone said pressing the break or opening the boot will display the state of charge but nothing happens. I don't want to switch the car on incase it disconnects from the EVdot. Charger so is there any way of knowing how much its charged as the...

    My first 5+ experience

    Captured this a few days ago. It's the first time I've ever seen over 5 mpkWh. It was a busy rush hour journey so lots of stop/start driving over a mixture of A and B roads. No special effort being made and the car was in Normal mode with KERS set to 3.
