Hi,
Wonder if anyone can help me with this.
Had a look at the MG EV at the weekend. I think the range is still an issue but generally I thought it was pretty good. One thing I did think poor compared with the competition and what I am used to is the infotainment and sat nav - seemed quite slow and primitive - was surprised when the salesman started telling us what apps we could use on our phone to locate the nearest charging points as I thought EVs had this sort of thing built in.
Then I read a review which agreed with my view but then said that as it supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto you can just use that instead.
I’m really behind with this technology - I get that it is connecting your phone to the car but then what does that do for you. Does it provide better navigation and what does your phone need to support that - is it using up your data tariff all the time it is in use?
Cheers,
Nigel
