[MG Mile eater]

Hi Just an update the past 4 months
Some how the vehicle went from 150k to 170k !! 20k in 4 months

Problems today
12v battery failure - battery replaced September biger battery
TPMS fault- replaced all tyre sensors just need calibration

Up and coming jobs
Change gearbox oil
Battery coolant
Motor coolant
Recoat front sills as down to metal again
Added mud flaps all road which has improved.

Bar from that no other problems

Remember this has never been to a dealer since

Thanks for reading

The battery has lost about 15-20% of range due to a lot of rapid charging and charged to 100% every morning every day 6-7 days a week.
I do not worry about battery health ! It will see 200k miles on its 4th anniversary from new . For less then £3k i can get a low mileage 61kWh battery pack and fitted ! A whole drive train for less then a £1K So do not stress as these will easy do 200k plus I abuse my EV by pushing the limits of the vehicle every day. Plus it carries around 150-200kgs of tools and equipment plus more.
I save about £8k a year running this vehicle compared to a diesel equivalent plus services so 4 years 200k mi save £20-24k. I don't have charging issues these days anymore, when using public chargers.

I used to use grid serv a lot now use keep power CCS. I pay between £0.55- £0.75 per kWh rapid, £0.28 0n type 2 wall box at customers. I get 15% free charging at two other customers and home charging ( 60% of the time ) £0.07-£0.28 per kWh.

I will put a few pictures soon .

Ps I also install home EVSE wall boxes or pedestals mounted type 2.
As I am a registered electrician and also taking on renewables.

thats fantastic data and great to see - as you say its there to be driven/work for you, my rough rule of thumb i was working to was battery degradation of ~5% per 50k miles and it seems yours is also inline with that which is great.
