odometer

An odometer or odograph is an instrument used for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or car. The device may be electronic, mechanical, or a combination of the two (electromechanical). The noun derives from ancient Greek ὁδόμετρον, hodómetron, from ὁδός, hodós ("path" or "gateway") and μέτρον, métron ("measure"). Early forms of the odometer existed in the ancient Greco-Roman world as well as in ancient China. In countries using Imperial units or US customary units it is sometimes called a mileometer or milometer, the former name especially being prevalent in the United Kingdom and among members of the Commonwealth.

    Hybrid Odometer Not Relevant

    I was recently watching a Utube video from the "I Do Cars" engine tear down expert, and he was disassembling a Prius hybrid engine which failed at 73,000 miles on it. He pointed out the meaningless nature of Odometees in Hybrid cars, as a way of actually knowing how much wear the engine has...

    Where's the odometer?

    I've recently bought an MG4 SE LR. I can't find an odometer and trip counter anywhere, in the menus or the user manual. Even the dealer wasn't sure when I phoned! Where can I find them?

    Service now warning, but car recently serviced

    I had the first service on my MG4 back in June. Earlier today the odometer clicked onto 14,000 miles exactly, and at the same time a warning flashed up saying "Service now!". I'm assuming this is because the dealership didn't reset the service indicator in the car. Had a quick look through...

    Poor efficiency (or is it just the cold?)

    Hi all, Brand new MG4 SR owner here. As an EV newbie I'd like to know if its normal to have this low efficiency at this time of year. Below is a typical shot of my work trip that is about 12 miles, the average speed being 39mls/h with the energy consumption of 2.6mls/kWh. It's been quite...

    Hi everyone, I've had my MG4 for a couple of weeks on a salary sacrifice scheme through work. Have to say I'm loving the car but was concerned at the miles apparently racked up on the time I've had it. My daily commute is just under 19 miles each way. This morning I drove on a full charge and...

    Pointless journeys

    I,ve just been to my local supermarket ( 4kms return trip ) and somehow have done 50 kms. When looking at the odometer I reckon 35% of the amount has just been hooning around. So much for being ecologically minded.
