I recently got the base model MG4 (called Excite 51 in Australia, SE SR in UK) and though initially not expecting it to have one pedal driving (OPD) found that the latest update before delivery indeed made it a feature of even this model. I got used to the subtly different driving style it needs and became a firm fan even though I'd previously said I could live without it.
After my first charge to 100%, upon restart I got a message when selecting OPD 'Unavailable, low charge warning' and there was no appreciable regen braking either, with a similar warning (which flashed off too quickly for me to record). As the SOC reduced to about 96% regen braking kicked in again but OPD is still unavailable now I'm down to 93%. I would have thought it would only require the same battery buffer.
Does anyone know what SOC is required for OPD to be operational, and perhaps is it different for the different battery types (51 kW LFP and 64-77 kW NMC)? Or do I have a different problem?
Edit: turns out it's 89% (at least on my car)
