Calling MG5 owners - your opinions invited

[Stuart Wright]

Hi folks,
I'm thinking of making a video for our MG EVs YouTube channel where I ask the same (5-10) questions to a number of MG5 owners individually (using Zoom), and I edit the answers together in a talking heads type video. The idea being to inform potential MG5 owners why it's a good idea to consider buying one.

Who would be interested in talking part? It would involve about a 30 minute Zoom call (quicker if possible) asking the questions that I'd give you in advance.
Questions like

• Is the MG5 your first EV?
• Why did you decide to buy the MG5? (Looking for the main reason)
• Some people think that products made in China are of lower quality. How would you comment about this based on your experience of the MG5?
• Has the MG5 lived up to your expectations so far?
• How would you rate the quality of the car?
• What were your first impressions of driving it?
• What do you like most about it? (Top 5 in order)
• What do you like least about it? (Top 5 in order)
• Are you disappointed that the roof rails are currently decorative only?

That sort of thing.
If you're up for being involved, please let me know by replying below.
Thanks.

Ok, thanks, all. What I will do is contact each of you individually to set up a Zoom call to ask you the questions.

 

[terrybailey]

Yes OK

 

[Mr C]

I'm up for that!

What's the real world motorway range of your MG5s, do you think, at this point?

 

[Mr C]

What's the real world motorway range of your MG5s, do you think, at this point?

150-160 miles, 20-25% battery remaining looking for a break/ rest stop to charge up.

 

[Stuart Wright]

150-160 miles, 20-25% battery remaining looking for a break/ rest stop to charge up.

So the range is at worst 150 miles and you have 20% left? So the real world motorway range is 180 miles?

 

[RossN]

In this new spring weather the GOM is over 200 miles now (with no heater and in an around town and country roads) so I would expect at a speed of 60-70 mph to get about 160-180 miles range but no chance of going any distance in the foreseeable future to actually check that

I got about 150mile coming down the M6 the day I brought it back from Burnley at new years.

 

[Stuart Wright]

Ok, I'm going to create a video showing new folks how to plan rapid charging on a long trip using 150 miles as a basis. That fits the ZS EV as well.
