MG wants us to pay £500-plus to remedy rogue electric car

MG, a car manufacturer, has been accused of refusing to address a safety issue with one of their electric vehicles, the MG5. The issue arose after the car's owner used a charger at a motorway service station, resulting in a power system malfunction. This caused the car to become dangerously out of control. Despite the apparent malfunction, MG has closed the case and insisted that the safety check required to remedy the issue should be at the car owner's own expense, which could cost over £500. The article suggests that MG's response is unsatisfactory and that the company should take responsibility for addressing the safety concern with the vehicle. The article highlights the importance of manufacturers addressing safety issues promptly and taking accountability for the performance of their products, especially in the context of electric vehicles, which are becoming increasingly prevalent on the roads.
