Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

tends to happen with tyres

Yeah black ones!!


Does that count as product placement

You can buy continental premium contacts in Europe but not an exact version of the stock tyre, that is the point Im making the ones that came with the car were specific to the Chinese market with a Chinese specific rubber compound.

There are numerous threads on how crap the stock tyres are.

We are however going round in circles, at the end of the day the tyres are shite

I'm not entirely sure I'm getting what you're trying to say, especially because you refer to "Continental PremiumContact" in general.

As far as I know, there are at least two versions of the PremiumContact: the numbered ones ("5", "6", etc.) and then there's the "C". I can buy both the numbered ones and the "C" versions in Europe.

Are you saying that the "PremiumContact C" version we have access to here in Europe is different than the "PremiumContact C" version that comes installed in the car?

Genuinely just trying to understand, that's all.

Yes, if you search the forum on the stock tyres subject you will read all about the issues and how the stock tyres are a Chinese market only specific tyre.

December plus full calendar year data. Comparisons with previous Decembers shown.

Not a big month of driving but 92% of it was powered by the sun via our own generation.

In December we added a 12.5 kW bidirectional DC charge module to our home solar/battery system. The charge from solar feature works really well and can suck down the photons pretty much as fast as my PV will supply. I have seen it charging at up to 12 kW at times.

Else if needed we also get free energy from the grid for 3 hours a day from 11 AM to 2 PM.

That's really impressive.

I have paid nothing for months for energy. When we moved in August I had a $50.00 credit with Evie which they gave me for some reason & their supercharger was just up the road. That got me through till I installed my ZJBeny 7kW wall charger & charged during the 2 hour free period each day (12:00 - 14:00).

On 24 November my 8.8kW of new solar went in plus the 18.64kWh battery. By then I'd changed to the OVO energy plan of 3 hours free per day plus 8c/kWh from midnight to 6am.

The battery software is set to always use battery before grid so on a rainy or heavy cloud cover day it uses solar, then battery & lastly grid. Since then I have never drawn any grid power at all & have not needed to use the cheap night rate either.

My 8.8kW of bi-facial panels have actually produced 10.0kW at peak. Documentation stated that the bi-facial panels could generate up to 15% more & while the expert reviewers were sceptical of this claim, the results I have achieved prove this to be possible.

Total outlay was AU$11,600.00 (would have been over $18k without subsidies).

Happy new year to everyone.
I'm posting my figures for December.

I also noted the large recalibration of the GOM. Initial figure based on the months motoring

The recalibrated estimate after the accumulated trip distance reset.
