A very sad day. The new owner taking away my old MG5. We literally built a business with this cheap, Chinese electric car. I still don’t think any other vehicle could have matched it for reliability, cost to run, savings against a diesel and initial purchase cost.

I should have said, demos will be in MG dealerships in September. The Chinese don’t f*** about.

When you buy a 238,000 mile, second hand EV, you expect some repairs. We're up to £200 so far. Fixing The Moonship via @YouTube.

That’s 238,000 miles of brake pad wear on our “new to you” 2019 MG ZS EV. It makes me smile when I read this clueless journalism and utter tosh from the @DailyMail .

There’s a trend here. People are buying less petrol and diesel vehicles. In fact, they’ve been in decline since 2017, but the decline is accelerating. Despite all the misinformation and BS that constantly fills the internet surrounding EVs, their sales continue to roll on

Last month my 170,000 mile MG5 travelled 3,752 miles using 938kWh of energy. I public charged 4 times, the rest was home charging. Combined the total cost for the month was £128.67. In a diesel Ford Focus estate, which is an equivalent size vehicle to the MG5, it would have

This tells me why petrol and diesel are on their way out the door. The fuel savings alone bought this car and then some. Diesel And Petrol Cars Are Finished! via @YouTube.

These pesky, cheap, Chinese, electric cars. We’ve just bought this for next to nothing. In its 238,000 miles as a taxi it’s had no repairs. Check out the front pads 😮. It’s failed one of its 11 MOTs on a number plate bulb. It does now need a few things doing, which is why

So we lasted a month before Kate said "get me some stalks". So I did. They're actually pretty good, but not cheap 😥. SEXY Stalks for 2025 Tesla Model 3 Highland via @YouTube.
