Since just before buying my first EV, I became an avid consumer of YouTube videos concerning the subject. Being a relative novice on the subject as most "normal" people are, my knowledge beforehand was limited to knowing that Teslas were expensive and Leafs were ugly.
It was MG that opened my eyes to the fact that even I could be a part of this movement towards driving electric. Here came a company that I was only peripherally aware of (because I'm not British) and offered me a car that not only seemed like a good car, it was one I could actually afford!
Back to YouTube. Since buying my ZS EV, I have been annoying my wife with my obsession with EV reviews. She's more of the "why are you looking at other cars, we just bought an new car" kind of mindset. While looking around, I have noticed that some of the larger channels concerning EVs have one thing missing: MG.
It's an almost obvious omission from key lists of "top 10 affordable EVs you can buy now" and such other rankings. One channel even tried to call the Ford Mach-E cheap! When Electroheads were actually called out in the comment section about their lack of content regarding MG, they addressed it. Addressed it by doing a video where they barfed all over the MG5, almost ignored the ZS EV, and fantasized about the E-motion ever coming to fruition. Good job there!
I'm sure there are plenty of car reviewers that have covered MG and I have seen plenty (all there is to see maybe?). But I'm still left with the general feeling that a large segment of reviewers either don't take MG seriously or intentionally ignore the brand.
Thoughts?
