Can MG5 EV handle a country family holiday? ⚡🚙🐄 London → Somerset, Cheddar Gorge, Wells Market Vlog
Can the MG5 EV, the electric estate car, handle a family holiday? Filmed in the first week of lockdown opening up on 16th April 2021.
Throughout its first 1000 miles I have only ever used the 3-pin charger to plug in from home, therefore can’t currently answer any questions about charging networks or faster chargers. We don’t tend to go that far away so it might be a long time before I get to use a public charger of any kind! If you have any other questions about MG5 ownership please leave a comment.
