We are probably/potentially going to buy a new MG EV, and I'm keen to hear from other MG owners about their experiences. Some specific questions I have:

• What ORCs were you charged and did they seem fair? The sales person we spoke to indicated they would be around $2500, but we didn't get clarification of what this includes.
• Are you servicing your EV with an authorised MG dealership annually? We were told these services typically cost around $400 per year, which seems steep considering that EVs are meant to be much cheaper to service. But this also appears to be necessary to extend the warranty and to eligible for the roadside assistance service, so I assume they are charging a premium to cover the other costs.
• We currently have AA membership, mostly for the roadside assistance which we have used a few times - I assume we can cancel this and replace it with the MG roadside assistance? Is the MG service roughly equivalent to what AA provides?
• The MG iSmart service is free for the first 12 months, but I'm not sure how much it costs after that, or if we even need it? I haven't been able to figure out which of the car's functions rely on the iSmart subscription.

We're taking an MG4 Urban for a test drive tomorrow, so will get these questions answered by the sales person then, but would appreciate any insights from existing MG owners beforehand. Anything else we should be asking?

Thanks.
