[AruthurB]

Hi all, new MG4 LR excite ( irish spec i think) owner here, day 3, after spending two days trying to get the app working which i finally got working , im now having another issue im hoping someone can help with, i charged to 100 % last night on a granny cable, now my one pedal driving wont work , it says " unavailable low charge power" everything else seems to work , any ideas?

Search in other threads. OPD needs a regen allowance so with a capacity in the high 90s it cannot work.

Thank you! i was searching but was going at it the wrong way! i was looking for broken one pedal driving

Congratulations on the new car! Pics go in the "show us yours!" thread.

Anyone know what the threshold is for OPD to work ? I'm at 93% charge and get the same message "unavailable low charge power". Only had the car three days and been checking my granny and 7kw charging cables all work, so I've not had it lower than 93% charge yet !!

Mine works at about 96%. If you've only just got the car maybe the software needs a set amount of battery usage data before it works?

Thanks ... just tried today at 90% and it stayed on and worked ?

On the next restart it needed enabling again, so I guess there will be a short list of settings to change every restart (LKA, OPD for starters) !!

Hi all. I am at 85% and still getting "unavailable low charge power" can anyone help? I have done 300 miles from new.

Do you need to have a Balance Charge to 100% before the software has an accurate understanding of your charge state? This has to be done using an AC charger. You may have received the car charged to 100% from a DC (rapid+ charger).

Hi, my MG4 has been doing the same. I was told that one pedal drive will only work when the battery is 85% or less. But it still only works intermittently below that. It's been back 3 times to the dealer. Then MG refused to take it back any more. So I made a video recording of the issue. They've now taken it back in for a 4th time. The MG4 and MG aftercare are utterly useless

If it is true that the one pedal drive would work only when the battery is less than 85% as MG say, then why does the error message appearing when the battery is higher than that say "unavailable low charge power"? Surely, it should say "unavailable high charge power." This car has been very badly designed and put together

Kia ora. Mines the same. It kicked in at 85% for a while but now it's just random. Like a few other things related to the software. I haven't been back to the dealer about that yet but will have to try I guess. I'm not impressed with the windscreen wipers being stuck under the hood either.

My OPD comes on about 90%. Any more charge than that and there's no room in the battery for the extra electrons

Most new car models follow this design theme these days. It supposedly helps improve drag coefficient. ?‍

There is a "service position" you can activate before washing the car etc. which parks the wipers up vertically so you can then pull them off the windcreen.

And after doing the above, make sure the wipers are back on the windscreen before you get in the car and sit on the driver's seat!
