#85 Road trip with MG4 to Arctic Circle part 1

[@victorsvoice7978]

Norway charging infrastructure is next level. They are ahead of most countries when it comes to electric transportation.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

#1 in Hydro power is why.

[@Koulis_]

The suspension tuning and even the design and R and D is done at MG"s UK studios in London, that's why it feels European or German. The Chinese are sensible enough to realise that MG should still have a British element to it's character.

„many years ago when I was a little girl“ - it‘s so much fun to watch your videos, man! 👍

[@obiskeyone]

I just ordered a MG4 essence 64 today carn’t wait for delivery

[@Richnetm]

Glad you are on the roadtrip with a MG 4, i have one (same spec) LOVE it!! The MG Pilot can work af adaptive cruise control (ACC setting) works ok, no auto steer unless you like to pingpong between te lines, in the TJA setting (Traffic Jam Assist) it can auto steer, but i dont like it unless i am in a traffic jam, then its heaven! I can charge mine without any problems at Tesla Superchargers, in fact the cheapest public charging for me here in the Netherlands.

[@konsul2006]

All these trips up and down makes him more Norwegian than any other. It sure is a good place on earth!

Man Australia needs to learn a lot from the way these charging stations are set up especially with the ability to charge with a trailer attached.

[@obiskeyone]

Agreed

[@IvesvanderFlaas]

Did you record what software versions are running on the car? The HVAC screen you show at 4:13 looks different for most (all?) MG4 owners.

I turn the auto steer off on ours coz its so bad. I just wish it would stay off and not turn itself back on every time you restart the car.

[@stoapfalzrunden4150]

Hi Bjørn. To strike a blow for manual seat adjustment. I am much taller than my wife. We dont like electric adjustment without memory function because its annoying slow to adjust the seat every time you change the driver. And the MG4 luxury doesnt have memory function. So we would go for a comfort version with the good old manual adjustment. ;)

[@supamario3055]

Bjørn, why didnt you charge at the Kempower container 150kW?

[@blaiseasanga5567]

[@christianwurm3845]

What a weird way rushing through this wonderful landscape. But thanks very much anyway. Will do a holiday trip this summer, using my MG4 towing a trailer with my Vulcan S. Then doing daytrips from a campingplace (base) with the motorbike. Good to know it`s so easy/advanced charging my MG4 on such long trips, from base to base. 🖖

[@bjornnyland]

Not weird at all

[@christianwurm3845]

@@bjornnyland No offense. 😉 I just couldn`t do this (like you) without stopping every now and then to get the most out of those beautiful landscapes. I remember last time i was in norway (little Honda cruiser, sometime around late 80s) i sometimes could hardly go on because in awe of everything around me. So to/for me(!) it would be weird to rush through all those wonders like that. But thanks for showing the abilities of an MG4 on long trips and how easy it is to get it recharged in Norway. Needed that for my trip next month. 🖖 Question: What card would you recommend in general?

[@skodbolle]

The handshake does not work very well with the old Tesla V2 chargers, we have the same issue with our Aiways U5, we have tried 3 different V2 charging stations and they never worked with our car. But with V3 it works every time

[@BremboT]

Similar size, horsepower, range, efficiency, and auto steer as the Chevy Bolt in America. But that charging speed is delicious!!

[@obiskeyone]

[@andreasbingkilvr6662]

I travelled 1 hr to get the "TeslaBjørn" pizza. When we arrived, the teen up front haven't even heard of you, or that pizza... After figuring out it was, as you numeral times before have described as "Gruben pizza", and received said pizza; well we were disappointently suprised. Not at all tasteful. We have a lot tastier pizzas in Mosjøen. And I'm sure elsewhere in Mo i Ræva as well. However, love following you and your entertaing and informative videos. Geng mak, loko, chok dee krap 😀

Mr.Bjorn, can you compare MG4 62 bat with Kona 64 bat, pls. Which one would you prefer?

[@chabnairolf]

20 cm more length and then more volume for the trunk, that will be nice for famlies.

[@mrki412]

You have MG5.

[@dutchypiang]

I don’t use the auto steer in mine. It feels like it tries to kill me. Pulls the wheel very sharply.

[@ndc5544p]

There's an update for that, talk to your dealer they should update it and it will make the autosteer better.

[@HenkSpankK]

Hi Bjorn, for me the Tesla only works if you activate it in the app and then plug in, not the other way around

[@HansFrisk]

@Björn Nyland which version of the MG 4 is this again? Bit confused by thier naming conventions ... MG4 Standard Range, Long Range? Extended Range? Xpower?

Hey Bjorn how are you not get bored on the highway in such long trips? I would be bored as hell 😄 Thank you for your reviews and cheers from Italy!

[@mattiematt9607]

I have problem with handshake with Ionity with my MG4 standard also. I had to almost call the tow truck during my trip from Italy to Norway because I couldn’t charge at any of the stalls and didn’t have enough juice to make it to the next one. At the 11th attempt it worked, but after that I excluded Ionity from my charging stops, and never had a problem again. Unlike you I charged at the Tesla Superchargers without issues. PS Bjørn my offer to test my car is still valid, but if you want you need to hurry cause I’m gonna sell it soon

[@JurgenFeuchterGarcia]

I've got two questions, I have a MG4 long range version (not the Lux) but when I charge the car to 100% it rarely says it has over 400km range when the range should be 450% I understand the range calculation depends on more than what its mentioned in the cars info, I just want to understand how this calculation is made? Also I've never used the battery warmer to (by what I understand) make charging of the batteries faster and also for better efficiency. Have you used it? How well has it helped? :D BTW Nice vid, Im pondering if I should take a long ride (1300 km one way so 2600 km to and back). Instead of a flight to the destination haha. cause the flights are quite expensive on the dates I would be doing the travel.

I saw an MG5 crash tested, they gave it zero stars. All variants of the MG5 (May 2023 - onwards) scored a 0 star ANCAP safety rating. The only weakness I saw was side pole impact, all others looked great, seems unfair.

[@igor6270]

The charging infrastructure in Norway is wonderful as is the whole country. I feel sorry for the tourists who will come to Croatia this year with electric cars, because the situation outside the capital is, to put it mildly, a disaster for such a strong tourist country.. :/

@@andreasbingkilvr6662 Also have to measure the amount of atmosphere between you and the sun blocking sunlight. Sure, there will be more if it has to travel at an angle than more perpendicular for a given location, but if the air is also thinner, then subtract that part back out when comparing to thicker atmosphere (more heavier air) in lowlands areas.

Hello Bjørn, There are several good deals on 2WD vehicles currently. The big question is how well they perform in winter or off-road conditions. In addition to most of them being rear-wheel drive, some cars have software that allows you to engage both wheels when you're stuck. Can you start testing this? It's very interesting for those who can manage with 2WD.

This climate control is a new version. Did you know what update is installed?

204 hp for driving the most of the roads on 50 km/u and 120 km/u on highroads and didn't even speak about the traject controls ... Why you need more HP then ? Even 250Nm torque is more then enough to have fun on the EU roads :)

[@bradallen1832]

A car from where MG is made and a car from the company part of the parent company created by who it was created by both have the ideal of controlling who gets access according to very strict and always changing rules ... and handshaking access to charging doesn't work. Maybe the backend financials system between those who covet what they don't make vs those who make things themselves is incompatible, or maybe they wish to choose who does what and default get you in trouble to their "benefit" in their benefits system. Either way, it does not surprise me that it is those two brands that have trouble "handshaking" (letting access to charging).
