sorted byThere are a few software niggles to fix and some folks are getting an oil leak from the transmission box. Apparently a newly designed breather is shipping soon to resolve this. Overall it’s a brilliant car
Was tempted to order one but going to wait a couple of months until the teething issues are sorted out, software updates are done etc. It's a brand new model after all.
The 400hp/awd is on my radar which should be due for sale next year.
I thought looks much better IRL (in real life) than photos suggest...
Driving electric MGs for over 2 years, electric all the way now!
Cheap to charge on overnight tariff, costing around 3p per mile, and saving 10-15p per mile or around £100 - 150 per month in fuel for 1000 miles.
Free to tax
Cheap to service, no gearbox, no exhaust etc.
Low depreciation
No fumes
Low CO2 overnight electricity, often wind or nuclear powered, so repays the carbon cost of lithium within 1-3 years. Remember many "funded" comparisons don't count the carbon cost of extracting, transporting and refining the petrol / diesel, they cheat and just include the actual fuel burning in the car. Surprising because you would expect the oil industry lobby to be trustworthy!!
They not found the cause or solution yet so would avoid for now. Given how slow and terrible the MG dealers are I would avoid.
DOI I have ZS EV
Even with the new higher GO rates of 4 hours at 12p and 20 hours at 40p per kw - you should be able to achieve an average monthly cost per kw of between 25p and 30p depending on you ability to time shift heavy power users like charging the EV , using the washing machine and dishwasher etc.
Driving 10000 miles per year/ 830 miles per month and at 10p per kw this MG should cost you less than £25 a month in fuel (the same cost as about 14 litres of petrol)
And Octopus still give a £50 account credit to anyone who switches to them using a referal code from an existing customer.
If you cannnot charge at home then public charging is getting expensive, especially as Tescos is stopping its free charging w.e.f Nov 1st. However Lidl is still 'cheap' especially as they charge less on a Friday - 40p. Other wise look at the BONNETT app and their monthly bundles. Even their PAYG is "only" 50p per kw
Also don't take this out if you work from home in the day, as the day rate is a lot more expensive than a normal tariff. (edited)
However, this is one of the best looking and cheap EV at the moment.
But I still don't like manufacturers pushing SUVs. Hard to find small cars these days.
Check carwow review! (edited)
And more importantly as someone who is considering one of these for a relative, I would love to know what issues you've had with the MG4....
If I ever bought an electric car definitely go for one that has a high mileage range, unless you’re just running about town.
Battery tech - VHS.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell - Betamax
We'll end up with the EV as the path ahead because of the lie the infrastructure to make the change exists.
Sorry folks but you've been warned
And why wouldn’t they buy their own? Cars like the BYD HAN (no. 4 In popularity above) are every inch the equal of Tesla, just cheaper and actually, no gaping panel gaps for the kids to play hide and seek through haha. 500HP dual motor, red leather reclining seats, rotating centre console display, rear centre armrest digital console...just wish these brands will get here sooner so we have some real choice in the market.
At least half the range of an ICE car and 100miles short of a proper long range EV.
Quite how they get away with calling this long range is beyond me.
The £25k SR SE model is similar money to an equivant ICE car.... (edited)
As for the extra 6 to 7 grand, the ice equivalent aren't equivalent in most cases. But studies have also shown that if you don't just look at initial coats, but factor in all costs including maintenance, insurance,depreciation, etc. The ev versions work out cheaper.
Lastly, there are still peak deals. Mine admittedly went from 4.5p to 7.5p. So now gets me a 1.8p per mile .. just to give you a quote ha ha ha
I am looking for an up to £50k car at the moment.
£25k for a car is peanuts in 2022.
Man in the high street didn’t so it’s no go
No issue about the MG badge!
Another thought - what happens if China invades Taiwan and there's a trade embargo and no spare parts available or warranty claims as a result? (edited)
Hear many have had problems with other models...
Forum for MG
I am active on that forum as well.
Lots of other cars are made in China, and the batteries and chips...
I guess one could worry about the support if China did like Russia and ended up under sanctions or worse..
The Long Range might get your there and back if you drove like a Saint.
But even if you decided to top up you could stop for a toilet/coffee break and add some charge. You'd put about 80 miles of range into it in 10 minutes.
