I was waiting at the train station to pick my wife up when she text to say the train was delayed by 15 minutes.
I have been waiting for a chance whilst stationary to fiddle with the power used by individual elements of the car and noticed the following.
I have the MG5 SR 2021 model. I had 83% charge and with the car started but nothing turned on the GOM showed 189 miles and the amp meter showed as 1. Then turned on headlights amp meter showed 4, I have upgraded bulbs to Nightbreakers. Then turned on fan to full, amp meter showed 14. Then turned on rear window heater amp meter moved to 17 and with windscreen wipers on 18 to 19 on the amp meter. I let this run for 5 minutes and the GOM moved to 162 miles. I did this twice just to check but each element responded exactly the same. Oh, and my % dropped to 82% after both runs. I have absolutely no idea how to interpret this info but I wonder if one of you can?
It seems to me that the GOM anticipates you are going to use more power in N or S mode than Eco, I wonder if it is right?
